Well, I think it's lovely - you see, I hung the door last night when it was dark, and it's just now light out and I have to go take a look. I want the front of the house to make your stomach hurt it looks so lovely!

I always just put out a lot of pumpkins and gourds and some halloween stuff (mostly vintage) and then same thing at thanksgiving...I change out the halloween for thanksgiving. And...I'm one of "those" people, who puts up my little tree near the fireplace for Thanksgiving. First of all, I have guests that won't be here for Christmas. Secondly, it is a little four footer that is pre-lit and then I add vintage ornaments and pinecones. Then it is done! <br />xo, CherylWhosyergurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796459473501881680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-34041712193466285722011-09-12T09:11:42.673-04:002011-09-12T09:11:42.673-04:00Your post is making me stick with my goal of going...Your post is making me stick with my goal of going through my seasonal stuff and edit out what I truly don't love, every year I say I'm going to do it and don't, hopefully this will be the year!!

Now that we've moved into our new home, we are determined to get rid of the clutter, the stuff that we thought we "might use someday". And, now that we are in a place that we love, we are also determined to only bring in things of quality, to live up to the house.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12627037934684116198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-18882888675404098762011-09-10T23:21:15.840-04:002011-09-10T23:21:15.840-04:00I love the fall pics and your thoughts on seasonal...I love the fall pics and your thoughts on seasonal decorating. I am also finding that I want to drag out less bins of "stuff" and use what I have outside or around the house. It is so pretty and stress free!
