Have you decorated for fall yet at your house?
I must admit, it's helpful having a three-year-old to prod me to pull out all the decorations from the basement. Yesterday, it sounded much better to curl up on the couch with my book, but Nina was bound and determined to decorate after seeing Halloween hoopla in our favorite bakery. So out came the boxes!
Here's our Halloween Countdown calendar. Each day of October is marked with a little pumpkin. Last year I blogged about how I made this little guy, in case you want to do something similar!
Last year I also made these cute little "Boo" pumpkins. Just some simple faux pumpkins from Michael's and some vinyl letters, also from Michael's. Couldn't be simpler!
I love me some mums for fall!
And of course my fall wreath...
My vintage pillows are very sad evidence of my lack of sewing skills, but hey, they were cheap to make (just some felt, pillow stuffing, and simple thread)! 
So it feels like fall in my house. My sad little tree in the front yard is turning a pretty shade of red. How about you? :)

Wow Carrie!! Beautiful!! i cant wait to get started with my fall decorations and you have inspired me to get going!!!
Yes... it FINALLY feels like fall where I'm at in CA and I am loving it! I've got my fall decorations up (well, I had them up when it was still 100 degrees outside...lol) and I love looking at them. Such cute, creative photos, as always, Carrie!
I've been looking for some fun fall ideas, so you can imagine how excited I was to see this post! Thanks for sharing.
I never really thought I'd be saying this, but I want a gourd now. Sheesh, it's so cute! I love all your decorations. Your wreath is so striking!
First time I found your blog was from the post when you made that countdown clock. I've been wanting to make something like it for a full year! I finally(!) made mine end of september. Love it! thanks for all the inspiration.
I love the Autumn gourd. Do you remember what color you painted it?
I love your fall decor!! It looks great! I especially love your fall wreath. It's beautiful!
Mums in the pumpkin, bow on the the gourd....OH MY! Lovin' it :o)
peace, cindy
(pop over for my giveaway if you're into handmade soap)
I love the wreath! Did you make it yourself? If so, what did you use besides the wreath??
I am way behind on decorating for fall. I love your idea with the vinyl stickers on the pumpkins! Your pillows look great too.
Looks GREAT!! I really love your BOO pumpkins.....I remember when you did them last year:)
We are all set here.....now if I could just find my kids halloween costumes. Sarah keeps changing her mind.....I guess maybe a sign as to what we are in for in the years to come:)

Your felt pillows are adorable! Seriously, they make me want to make some just like yours. Love the cat one especially. Actually, all of your fall decor is cute and fun to see! I love your style.
Oh us too..we have started putting up a few things slowly getting there..hope you have a great night..
(What were you reading that was SO good??!!)
I have decorated!
I love all you did-I remember the BOO pumpkins from last year...I need to do that, too this year!
great Fall decor! that gourd is just too pretty! you've got some serious talent, girlie!
I love those pillows! They look just about right for my sewing abilities, too! Off to find my scraps of felt..
There's nothing like an excited child to motivate the holiday decorating! I LOVE those pillows.
Hey I'm inspired to go to 'ole Goodies now and search for some gently used gourds! Cute!
Will you please post about where you found the little pumpkins that are in the clear candle holder jar? I have looked at Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Wal Mart, but have had no luck.
I'd also like to get some cranberries for Christmas. Any suggestions would be GREAT!
Thanks,
Erica
Love all of your warm fall touches. I particularly love the little pumpkins in the glass vase. Those are adorable.
Love the pillows too. I need to get my daughter to make something like that. She would love it.
Everything looks so great! I still love your Halloween advent clock!!!
I LOVE the wreath!!
Great looking fall decor! I love the gourd...no telling what we all can find in thrifting days!
Your house is all ready for the coming Halloween! Just look at your fantastic decors! It's the gourd that I find most attractive and unique of them all. I chanced upon these tiny pumpkins(varying in miniature sizes, the biggest of which is no bigger than the circumference of my palm) at a nearby grocery store and seeing your gourd sparked an idea...
Answering a few questions:
The little pumpkins in the candle holder were from Target. Got them on clearance a few years ago! As for cranberries at Christmas, I have not found any fake ones, but I am sure they are out there. I usually use real cranberries because I find they can hold up for the month or so that they are out.
As for the color that I painted my "Autumn" gourd, I think it was a color I mixed up on my own, using a few different paint remnants I had lying around. So I don't have a paint color to share on that one...Sorry!
:) Carrie
Great decorations!
We have put up our outside decorations. The girls love decorating for Halloween.
Thanks a ton for the answer on the little pumpkins!
