Feeling Like Fall
The calendar says September and the weather is cooling down, so I added a few Fall touches around the house. I’m not big on Halloween, but, coming from San Antonio, I have a fondness for Catrinas and Día de los Muertos, and I incorporated those elements into my Fall decor. I like to use child-friendly things in our living room, since that is where the boys spend most of their time. It’s a nice way to explain the changing seasons and allows them to feel like part of the celebration. And then I put my more delicate decorations in the less frequented areas of the house, just in case. Here are my very simple touches for Fall.
(A giant sunflower hanging on the front door.)
(The living room mantel, designed for little eyes and hands, complete with my toilet paper pumpkins from last year.)
(A closeup of my tiny Catrina figurines.)
(My fall table, with paper flowers and an embroidered runner from El Mercado in San Antonio.)
(A precious pumpkin that makes me smile.)
It’s nothing too elaborate or expensive (in fact, it’s all from previous years), but it makes me feel festive and the boys enjoy these little changes, too. Are you doing any decorating for Fall?
The Catrinas are really neat! I would love to decorate, but step one when we get back from the wedding is just getting everything in order… and maybe getting some new furniture. 😛
My figures are really small, but they make stunning dolls that are several feet tall, and very expensive. You’ll have the rest of your lives to decorate, so just enjoy this time together now. 🙂
Love your fall touches! Unique and fun. Wish I could ave done more decorating, but moving makes that hard, haha.

Hope you are all settled now. You can decorate for Christmas!
Love Dia de los Muertos stuff! We go crazy for Halloween–trying to plan our outdoor scene for this year. Scanning pinterest. I love tiny pumpkins though, want them everywhere.
I love pumpkins, too, and can’t wait for the real ones!
[…] year, I decorated for fall in early September, but this year, I just wasn’t in the mood. It stayed hot all month long, […]
