Is it really fall this week? Yes it is!! Time to have fun with a new season!!
I am finding that I want to simplify my holiday decorations. I love to celebrate the holidays and make them special. I want people who enter our home to feel the beauty and meaning of each holiday, but I have discovered to put simplified pops of decorations in a few areas of our home and don't go overboard. Do you know the feeling?
I love how simple these decorations are, yet they have "POP"! By pop, I mean they make a statement that is noticed but not fussy or overwhelming.
This is my year to simplify our holiday decorations and these ideas are helping me.
I like the idea that they use things I already have like vases, baskets, lanterns, or trays. All I have to do is get some gourds, candles, pumpkins, pinecones, etc. that I add to them. There is nothing to store in big containers that I have to figure out where to put and pull them out when the new season or holiday arrives. YEA!!
See if these ideas can simplify things for you!!

Fall!! What a beautiful time of year!! We are surrounded with mountains where we live and the colors are spectacular! We watch the mountains turn from green to fall colors, knowing snow covered mountains against crystal blue skies are next! It is so easy to savor every season!
May the beauty that surrounds you in nature find its way into your heart and home!
Happy Day!!
