Happy first day of Fall! // decorating the house.

Happy Fall, lovelies! It's finally here, and this week we're getting a break from our 95+ degree days.

Right around this time I get itchy to start my holiday decorating. It's obvious I am an absolute nut when it comes to Christmas decorations, and I'm slowly starting to creep up there on the Fall decorating front.

Growing up, my Mom always had the house perfect for every holiday, including Easter. It's no wonder that with the Persian Martha Stewart as a mother, I ended up hassling my poor husband every September to start bringing down bags and bins full of decorations from the attic.

Here's our little nest, decorated for Fall.














I should probably admit that I'm not done, yet. As you can see, there are no real pumpkins, yet.
I should also admit that I have a slight pumpkin obsession. I am known to bring home one or two (or 50) every year.



This year I'll try to practice some self-restraint, and only bring home one or two.
(or 50)

Here's the spread from last year, when I apparently took pictures at a better time of day for lighting.





Don't the real pumpkins make a world of difference?

Either way, I'm so glad the first day of Fall is here, and our house is filled with warm light, Fall smells, and 50 pumpkins.




Happy Fall, every one!
