Fall Decorating

The heat and humidity broke so I started decorating my front porch.  I have a lot more to do which involves pumpkins which are not yet available.  I'll post more once I find some.
 Last year I sort of just threw stuff up and each time the wind blew, decorations came down.  So, this year I attempted to secure everything.

 The secret to doing a door like this is layering.

 My porch looked like a floral bomb went off.  Most of these garlands were purchased at Michaels and were on sale for less than 2.00.

 Click for a closer look.  More to come.  I need to decorate the potting table too.

My helper.

Love your fall spirit and color.
My trouble is the same - unless WELL secured, each time there is a wind all my decorations get rearranged.

So happy for you. The Big Holiday season is here for you. Your Autumn and Halloween decor is fun for me too.

We decorated the inside of our house a couple weeks back. And yesterday I started on my blog. Love this time of year. Oh yeah :-)

Thanks for the layering suggestion. I can't seem to get my front porch right. I will try your layering idea and head on over to Michaels. Some trees are just beginning to show a hint of color.

I just saw a big bin of pumpkins perfect for your porch. Too bad they are so far away. Decorations are lovely.

I love those lanterns! And the sunflower theme is just gorgeous! Last year i showed a couple of friends and my husband of your fall decorations. I was just so in love with them. This year they are even more whimsical!!

Oh I love the falls decorations. Here it does not feel like autumn yet, in fact late August was more autumnal, but the temperature will soon drop dramatically.

You have a good start on fall and halloween. Don't buy candy too early as it disappears, I think it evaporates.

ooh it looks soo pretty - here in New Zealand we don;t decorate houses - I'm thinking this is such a shame.

Jolly cold snap here today back into winter woolies - you and Teddy would love it.

Love Leanne

"each time the wind blew, decorations came down"

I can relate. Perhaps the most important decorating lesson I've learned over the years is how to tie things down in the fall.
