fall up in here

I read a number of blogs.

Apparently, most of the blogs I read are written by Martha Stewart, or a close relative of hers.

Who are these women?

And where do they learn to decorate?

Pinterest perhaps?

I am not one of these women.

Wish I were, but, sadly, am not.

Below are my pitiful efforts in fall decorating.

I kept it rather simple this year.

My buffet.

 These candles graced my kitchen window growing up.

They will always have a spot somewhere.

Picture: circa 1996

Vase of skulls: Marcs.

 Table centerpiece.

Speaks for itself I think.

 Another little space.

 Construction paper craftiness.

Ellie: 2009

 All that made it to my mantle this year.

 Front steps.

My poor mums need a drink.

I can't wait to carve that green pumpkin.

And Mr and Mrs Scarecrow peeking out back there?

Found in the great attic clean out of 2011.

Previous owner must of left them...

There you have it.

That's all she wrote.

My fall decorating for 2011.
