Happy 1st Day of Autumn!
It's officially the beginning of autumn today, even though so many of us have been preparing for weeks now! My family went to the city Farmer's Market on Saturday and got several pumpkins to put in the house and enjoy! I put several tiny ones in this old sewing drawer, and added a vintage handkerchief, skeleton key, and vintage leaf pin that I got at the Junk Bonanza :). (Still needs some bittersweet or somethin', but it's a cute, compact little arrangement & I like it!)
Melissa over at The Inspired Room is having a fall linky party going on, so I thought I'd join in!
20 Little Things to Treasure in Autumn:
- there is a crispness in the air
- pumpkin & apple picking (cider mills if you're lucky!)
- s'mores and roasted marshmallows around the bonfire
- jumping in leaf piles
- collecting pinecones, acorns, and pretty leaves
- cute new fall clothes
- snuggling under a cozy blanket
- eating your kids' Halloween candy
- large family meals
- caramel apples (w/nuts)
- rich fall colors
- lighting the 1st fire of the season
- warm apple cider in a pretty glass mug
- switching to flannel sheets
- comfort foods are truly comforting
- getting to put on my favorite pair of jeans
- nature walks as a family
- burning my Yankee Home Sweet Home candle
- old movie nights
- fall feels like a fresh start, full of wondrous things to come!
Well, there's just a few of the wonderful things about Autumn!

Very pretty arrangement in the drawer! I enjoyed reading your list. I live in the South so my favorite thing about fall would have to be the relief from the summer's boiling temps!
My family is Italian and Catholic and therefore doesn't eat meat on Fridays or Christmas Eve. We always have a huge seafood meal on Christmas Eve. One of my favorite dishes is fish salad which contains octopus, calamari, shrimp and conch. It usually has a dressing of olive oil and either vinegar or lemon juice. Very Delicious!
Nice picture with the pin and pumpkins. Love your Autumn list!

The pumpkin pie and the brisk, refreshing, perfect air - at least here in PA! Did I mention the wonderful fall smells...ahhh...
That arrangement is so pretty; great for welcoming fall days. One thing I love in fall is filling my soup tureens with homemade soups. And I love to pull out my cute pumpkin bowls to serve them in. Of course, living near Montgomery, Ala., I may have to crank up our air conditioning to put a chill in the air so soup sounds good to my family. :)
The cold nights, fire in fireplace, and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!
And DECORATING for it!!
I love that 80 degrees in September is so much more manageable than 80 degrees in July. There's a crispness to the air, and the possiblity of needing to wear a sweater later in the evening. Yummmm.
Eating your kid's halloween candy is a winner!
Your Fall arrangement is adorable!
How I love fall! I just noticed yesterday the trees are all starting to change. There's that fall chill in the air! Did I mention how much I love fall?
I just found your blog and look forward to visiting again!
Love the table scape and mirror. Good job!!
My favorite things about fall--well where do we begin? Love the cooler nights, fall colors are the best, pumpkins, gourds, corn stalks, the list can go on and on. Fall is my absolute favorite time of year-especially Halloween.
