Fall Tour Begins at the Front Door!

Good morning friends! I had a hard time last night getting this post up but have been wanting to start showing you my Fall decorations! I LOVE fall and thought I would do a tour so we are starting at the front door! Here is what you see as you approach the house.

Next to the driveway I placed a mum and our initial pumpkin.

Then a welcome flag to all our quests!

Coming up the sidewalk is a large pumpkin in a spider legs stand, another mum and another orange plant that I forget the name of:)

Going up the stairs. Today a guy is coming to give us an estimate to repair the crack along the sidewalk. There is a new product that they drill a hole and then shoot a material under the concrete to raise the concrete and then fill the crack once it is level. Much less expensive than doing a whole new sidewalk.

The pumpkin mat sits on the everyday mat.

My wreath that I made several years ago. I have all the materials to make a new one, I just haven't gotten to that yet!

Since I have the lantern on a timer I decided to add some votive holders on the steps.

The little tiger stripe pumpkins are real.

I added a faux cabbage to the real impatiens in the blue pot. And the tiger stripe pumpkin is real and sits next to a faux pumpkin.

It was almost dusk when I took these shots.

Each votive has a different glass leaf.

I love this set. I got them at CTS several years ago and they were only $1.00 for a set of 4!!!!

I added a bow and a berry ring to the lantern. I like to embellish lanterns.

All of the real pumpkins I have bought are out back on the patio. I am planning to go back to my favorite Amish farm soon to get some more and I will show you the patio soon. Don't feel bad about mixing real and faux:)
