Fall Nesting

I've got the urge...the urge to bring out my fall decorating goodies. It's just hard to do when it's still so HOT outside. Cooler weather won't hit my part of the country for at least 3-4 more weeks.

But in the meantime, how can you not get the urge to decorate for fall when you look at all of the lovely things going on over at Melissa's The Inspired Room. Melissa is hosting "Fall Nesting Week." You won't want to miss it.

Although I haven't unloaded my fall goodies yet, I did manage to do a few things around the house yesterday.



I thought this little birdie in her nest looked so sweet under this cloche. In the first picture you can also see that I've put some gourds in the jar on the counter. I'll add in some mini pumpkins too.

I have an affection for wreaths. I think I have a wreath for every holiday. I like to display them on doors, wreath hangers, and mirrors. I've put out 2 so far.



Did I mention that I love dish towels too? I always have a seasonal dish towel or two hanging from my oven door.


I've also got a few projects under my belt that I'm enjoying. Earlier in the week I bought a memory board and hung it near the kitchen. We've always had a bulletin board hanging there but I wanted an updated version. I hung the memory board but it just looked bare, it looked lonely. So I dressed it up with a black frame.


Finding the right frame was no easy task. They don't make frames in 18x20. After multiple trips to Michael's, I finally just bought a kit that I assembled myself. I like how it looks. It just added that extra little touch.

I have 2 projects that I'll do today. Here is a sneak peak at what is needed.

Project #1...lots and lots of ribbon


Project #2...6 pieces of wood, stencils, and black and white paint.


So...have you got the fall nesting urge yet!?! As for me, I'm off to do my fun fall ribbon project...and then I'll unload my goodies!
