Things have been absolutely crazy around here – our house went on the market last week, and we have had 13 showings so far, with 3 more scheduled for this weekend! Needless to say we have not been “living” in our house very much lately…the time we do spend involves trying to make as little of a mess as possible. We are praying for a quick sale so we can get back to enjoying the last few months of living here before we move to the new house!
Since I haven’t been able to craft much lately (or post, either!) I wanted to share with you a few favorite pins from my Autumn and Halloween Pinterest Board. Are you loving the flood of fall items on Pinterest lately? I certainly am! I began my own dive into fall cooking and decor with my “October’s Party” Free Printable, as well as a Fall Tailgating Party. And if you’re looking for a delicious fall cocktail, be sure to try this recipe for Sparkling Cider!
I have been reading up on ways to preserve fall leaves, and supposedly there are ways to do it…but they all seem very involved. I love the idea from Carrie This Home to take some close-up photos of colorful autumn leaves and use them as fall wall decor – you can get the color of the fall leaves indoors for the whole season!
One Thrifty Chick has a great “recipe” for simmering fall spices. She packaged them up in fun Halloween bags and gave them as gifts for her kids’ teachers. I think they make great gifts, or even party favors for a fall party!
And if you’re looking for some beautiful fall decor eye candy, Laura at The Turquoise Home has a great round-up of 11 Ways to Add Fall to Your Home with links to some fabulous posts from great blogs. It is a lot of great inspiration in one place!

Your enthusiasm for fall decor is contagious! The idea of preserving autumn leaves through photography for indoor decor is brilliant. One Thrifty Chick’s fall spice gift bags are such a thoughtful touch. And Laura’s roundup of fall decor ideas is truly inspiring. Your upcoming move may be hectic, but these festive touches must bring some joy amidst the chaos!
