I have fall fever and its contagious......

Good morning......So do I have any fellow fall lovers out there? I know, I know there are soooo many  fall posts out there..but I simply could not resist sharing some favorite fall images.  I must say I get a little pep in my step when fall rolls around, when my sleeveless shirt dilemmas say goodbye until next season, when I feel inspired to start making big pots of my favorite comfort foods (and there are many trust me on that), when apple picking and fall foliage season come about. Yes, this all excites me like you can't believe!

My own fall decor this season........

I love waking up that cool air, and opening a window and just breathing fall in. I  love adding little touches around my home to signify falls arrival. Nothing over the top, but little subtle touches here and there. So,  today's a tribute to fall and the glorious inspiration it inevitably brings like a beautifully wrapped present every time this time of year. How about you? Do you like to add touches of fall into your home?  Do you enjoy the season like I do? Do tell!

How spectacular is this rustic outdoor setting in a barn....absolutely idyllic!

Are you seriously ever too old for a candy apple? I think not...don't you know if you eat one in the fall, its half the calories:)

Something about an outdoor setting under the rustling leaves with a slight fall breeze.....doesn't get better!

Happy Monday morning! How was your weekend? I hope wonderful....hard to believe it but I actually felt a little fall in the air. I woke up to needing a sweater and I have to say...I like it! We went for a long long walk past the horse farms and through the forest yesterday, it was wonderful. There is nothing like a long walk as the weather starts to turn.  Hope you found some time to enjoy the great outdoors too!

Its no secret how much I am in awe of the glorious season of fall. I started thinking about a fall dinner party...what prettier season with all the rich jewel tones and fabulous decorative motifs, like acorns and pumpkins and artichokes and pine cones to decorate with. So today's let just imagine you are planning a fall fete......here's the question, which fall setting would most says "you"?
