i’ve gathered up pumpkins (lots of pumpkins!)
a wooden box, mums,
oval thrift store frame (which i filled with a bird cutout)
and a bit of leafy garland
to freshen our front porch and give it a fall feeling.
now if the weather will cool off a bit…

how are you getting ready for fall?

we are off to meet with david’s heart surgeon today (take two!)
i’ll let you know how it goes tomorrow.
got pansies on my front porch – and mums along the back patio. and my pumpkin wreath on the front door. hope to steal away to the pumpkin patch this weekend and load up. now if I can just get all of those summer flowers out of the ground (they are impatients – and still awfully pretty!)
to get ready for fall, i’ve been doing the usual things, you know- apple picking (i’m from Michigan, where the good apples grow), making plans to pick pumpkins, drinking cider, wearing hoodies, i’ve also been looking at http://www.toms.com/ and looking at their fall styles. TOMS is a really cool company that’s also based in California. check ’em out!
Would love to know your paint colors for your home exterior, it’s so beautiful! And you’re already way ahead of me as far as decor goes…beautiful!
Praying for David!!
Lovin the porch! My fav is the the frame with the little berries and twigs!
Prayers for your family today!
Lisa, I love the gorgeous contrasts on your porch! Great for all of the senses! Hope all went well yesterday…. sending you all love. xoxo
Beautiful pictures! It makes me want to decorate for fall!
I recieved my necklace today and I just want to say, THANK YOU SO MUCH! It is beautiful and I cannot believe that I own a Lisa Leonard original 🙂 Also, your fall decorations are so fantastic. I especially love the frame with the bird in it. Great idea!
The bird cutout is so sweet (just may copy that cute idea). It was finally 60 degress in Texas. Bring on the fall! Hope all went well at the meeting with the heart surgeon.
Hi Lisa, love your porch pics so much! You have a lovely way of putting together that just works! Thinking of you re the doc’s appointment. Big hugs…. oh and I’m getting ready for spring here in NZ by planting buttercream and dark blue petunias in my two pots.. yummy combination. smiles..
Decorated for fall last weekend on top of my fireplace .fall leaves , jack-o-lantern , cut-out that says” HARVEST” it looks really good and fall like…I love your porch it looks great ! praying for your family today …Be Blessed my friend !!
weather tonight 59 degrees , oh yeah !
Our Fall started last weekend with a hour and half hay ride. The weather was great and a fun time by all. After the hay ride we all filled our bellies with Chili, potato soup, bean soup and all kinds of good snacks that people brought. The kids loved it and what make it fun is they are easy to watch, they are contained to the hay wagon. Look out when we finished kids ran everywhere. We also had a fire with s’mores. What more can you ask for. Happy Fall to All Prayers to your family Lisa
I did our porch this morning. Two grapevine wreaths, sunflowers, pumpinks, mums, wicker…..and a few jeweled spiders from Pottery Barn for good measure. 😉
I <3 Fall 🙂 Pumpkins/ Mums/ Leafs/ Hayrides/ Candy Corn/ Corn Mazes/ Halloween!!!! My favorite time of year!
Wow … gorgeous. I planted fall flowers in my planters a couple weeks ago when it was starting to cool off … now it’s warm again! Your porch, though, is stunning! Thinking and praying for you today.
Love your fall porch….praying for you and your family.
David and your family are in my prayers today.
The porch is beautiful. I switched my spring / summer door hanger for a welcome autumn sign this weekend 🙂 That is as far as I’ve gotten!
…your porch… the texture…..aren’t pumpkins the best!…such sweet colours & shapes..Thanks for sharing!
…..oh the pumkins…all shades are so charming….your front porch the shapes & textures …warm and inviting..Thanks
Praying for David’s appointment. Your porch looks better than the inside of my house!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your front porch pics, but I think we need one of the entire porch, so we can see it all put together….pretty please! Looks amazing. Fall is just the best!
I think we have the same front door. Sadly my porch is covered in plastic baby toys instead of pumpkins and adorable birds.I did put up the fall wreath though!
we are all pumpinky and grapevine wreathy over on our front porch, too….
and of course a huge mum and a few gourds !
and the weather…..sunny and in the 60’s…..perfect actually !
