Fall Decorations

It feels good to have gotten a good start to getting my fall decorations up on time this year.   Last year I didn't get to it until the first week in October and that is the week we have our church conference and we host a big after conference party at our house.   The pressure was on to get the fall decorating done.  Not this year.  I've almost finished.  Thanks to Bernideen at http://bernideensteatimeblog.blogspot.com/ ,  her post on fall decorating inspired me to get in the basement and pull out the fall bins. 

This is what you see when you walk in my front door.   I think I need a little colorful topper on this tablecloth.   This other vignette is at the bottom of the stairs. 

Here's the fireplace mantel in the living room.   The picture is crooked, I know! 

Some ironstone teacups in brown and one dark brown in the middle, it almost looks black.  I think they look good with fall. 

Good 'ol teddy, he endures all the seasonal changes around here!  Love my sunflower cup.  So this Friday, I'm off work and I will finish with a few colorful touches in the family room and sunroom.
