Welcome Autumn with DIYs and inspiration to celebrate the fall season. You’ll find creative craft projects and cozy décor touches for indoor and outdoor living.
Happy Monday and first day of Autumn!
Autumn officially arrives today, at least according to the calendar. 😉
After a couple of weeks of ‘false fall’ weather, we’re back to 90° temps, so we’re anxiously waiting for the return of crisp cool air and sweater weather.
Whether the leaves are turning or not, autumn is undeniably my favorite time of year.
As far as I’m concerned there two times of the year:
Autumn and Waiting for Autumn!
🍁 🍂 🧥 👢🍎🥧☕️ 🧡
So I’m pulling out my pumpkins and mums, and gathering some DIYs and autumnal inspiration to help welcome in the season.
Eagerly anticipating of apple orchards, hot cider, harvest feasts,
hay rides, pumpkin patches and corn mazes!
Here are several crafty ideas and cozy décor touches I hope you’ll love for welcoming Autumn indoors and out.

Oh Mary..once again I fell down that rabbit hole (or should I call it Mary’s hole) and clicked on each story so a lot of time has passed and I just finished your delightful blog with wonderful crafting ideas and amazing pictures. I, too, love autumn and while our temps this week here in VA aren’t as warm as yours they are not Autumn weather. Trying to finish my Halloween decorating before my stepsons from California arrive later this week! But there is always time to wonder through your musings! Thanks. Peace
Mary, You never cease to amaze me with your creativity and beautiful photos! Autumn is my favorite season too, now if Mother Nature will just get with the program! Happy Monday 🍂
I am anxiously awaiting autumn weather! Mary, there is so much amazing inspiration in this beautiful round-up of my favorite season. Thank you for always sharing your creativity and talents with us! Happy official first day of autumn!
What a wonderful collection of inspiration! You always have the most beautiful ideas!
Mary, I absolutely love fall! We enjoyed cooler temps in north Georgia but like your weather, it is back to high 80s here! Thank you for all the ideas and posts to kick off autumn. I especially love the tablescapes. Just waiting for Mother Nature to do her part!!
O, that photo of the leaf on the mum…that is exactly “something” I would do, too…what IS IT that…just makes one “play” like that…intriguing… franki
Mary, so much fall inspiration. Your creativity is over the top. Love the dressed pumpkins. Happy first day of Autumn.
Awww Mary! Thank you for always sharing your beautiful and creative ideas. I love being a “leaf peeper” throughout your lovely posts. Pumkins are in the stores now, but I tend to wait on buying them, because they don’t last very long in our Southern California fall weather. Happy first day of Autumn!
I always enjoy your creative ways with pumpkins. They are so unique. Thank you.
Oh my gracious, Mary – your photos take my breath away! Just wow. You are truly talented in so many ways. I love this post and am BIG TIME inspired! Happy first day of Autumn!!!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! You amaze me!
Your fall inspiration is incredible! Each and every photo is breathtaking.
Fall is here and you have given us so many wonderful ideas. Thank you!
Happy Fall! 🍁
I’m so ready for fall to come and stay awhile! Your fall projects and decoration ideas are all so pretty. All are such good ideas! We’re getting rain and we need it desperately! We’re hoping this will bring fall in for us completely with no more 90’s. Enjoy your day. Clara❤️
Lovely. . . . . makes me want to go out and buy even more pumpkins. Your photos are ART.
Hi dearest Mary! You are always my inspiration for year round. I’m at the Waiting for Fall to arrive stage, but I know it’ll get here. Those owl pumpkins always have me smile. Thank you for putting us in the Autumn mood. 🍂🍁 🍂

Always love your inspiration, Mary! It is just now starting to feel like Fall here, which is pretty amazing considering I live in North Idaho, where fall usually comes in August. This year has been a lovely one. Blessings to you :)
