Fall Porches & Wreaths

Don't you just love to decorate for fall?   I like to start my fall decorating on the front porch so our guests will have a warm welcome into our home.

I usually go back thru my previous fall porch decorating pictures.....not only does it give me some inspiration, but I also can see what I have on hand in totes to use again
.
This is last years fall porch....

And this is last years Halloween porch.  That's Boo our black cat laying on the porch....
This is our fall & Halloween porch for 2011....and again,  Boo sitting in the walkway to the  porch.   Boo won't be in this years pictures....sad face.... 
I had a friend that gave me lots of pumpkins in 2011 from their pumpkin field....they ship out trailer loads of pumpkins to Walmart and other retailers.   



This is my porch for 2013....it's very simple and under stated (for me, lol).   Funny how your decorating style changes over the years!

Nothing says "Welcome to our Home" like a beautiful wreath on the door!
These are some.....

of my wreaths from....

previous years.
and this is our fall wreath for 2013.

Happy Fall Ya'll!

  4. Wow! Your wreaths are all amazing over the years. You must have a TON of decorations stashed away. Kind of sad to see the picture with Boo in it. He was the perfect Halloween cat! xo Diana

  16. Penny,
    Very pretty!! I am so sorry to hear about poor Boo.....
    I just may decorate the front porch a bit but we have been having beautiful weather with high's near 80 and all my annuals are still doing so good. No frost yet....
    Hugs,

  22. I enjoyed seeing how you've decorated each year. You are right, how our tastes change from one season to the next! I like your understated porch but your "full on" pumpkin one is my fave!
