    So pretty! I normally will do a little bit of decorating for the fall and hubby likes to decorate for Halloween but as our son is due on Halloween, I don’t want to do too much because I’d have to put it all away and the timing is off. I do plan on getting some mums if we ever get away from the 90 plus degrees here in Missouri.

    So much vintage loveliness, Kelly! Love the fruit on your silver trophies. 🙂 We’re still in 90 degree weather, so I’ll just enjoy fall vicariously through you.

    Love, love your vintage home! So many sweet and fun ideas for fall. Your $10. sign is awesome! And it has inspired me to paint an old ironing board top and hang it. May I ask how you hung yours with out much damage to the wall? I don’t want big holes if I can help it. Thanks! Beautiful home, Kelly! Blessings, Pamela

    OK, so all your posts are great; but this one is darn right fabulous! Your comments are all so funny; I’m going to be singing “put a pinecone on it” all day long. Let’s see… love the dinner sign, love the weighing mums, love the gold pyrex, love the pumpkins in the box, love the books and bird under glass. DON’T love the fact I am still waiting for my dear husband to bring home my fall boxes from storage… guess he needs a sweet reminder! xoxo jules

    Kelly, love it all. i have some of the vintage autumn hued platters and just ‘gifted’ my niece with some vintage gold Pyrex. (she’s going mid-century, the old days when her dad and I were kiddos). Fall is my favorite time I think. have to go home and dig out all the treasures to show off.

    Love every detail of your fall decor. I love the mix of vintage with the new and love the potato chip tin with the mums! Great find with the sign! So cool. Just wore my boots to a Saturday baby shower. It was so cold this weekend in Michigan! Fall is definitely here! I love fall but get sad to see the leaves on the trees go bare. Not that fond of November with bare leaves but love snowy winters. I think Spring is my favorite season.

    Oh my gosh, the mum in the Charlies Chips can brings back so many memories — all good ones! My grandma adored Charlies Chips. I remember a drive-thru convenient store near Sandusky, Ohio, that sold them, along with many other items (ahem, beer and ciggies) that my grandma loved. Beautiful decor as usual!
