Front of the house for Fall....

 The cottage on Covington

all dressed up for Fall...

 I used all the left overs from

 the Fall Frolic at Little LuLu's.

 pretty darn festive...

I don't usually go all out for Fall/Thanksgiving.

I'm usually too exhausted after Halloween,

but I just couldn't let it all go to waste.

 I even threw a Fall sign

on top of the paper wreath.

It's all coming down on Friday though.

I'm trading in Fall for fa-la-la!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Thanksgiving....

A few little touches of Thanksgiving sprinkled through out the cottage....

I have three vintage turkeys sprinkled on

my buffet shelves,

and the Friendly Village dishes have

made their way out.

an old Thanksgiving greetings

post card tucked under a cloche...

and another one propped up on a platter.

I just love my tiny turkeys.

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is THIS Thursday?

Where did the year go?

Fall inspiration....

I went looking for a bit

of Fall inspiration,

and boy-oh-boy did I get it....

everyone should have

an apple cider bar set up at all times!

pretty rakes and wagons

make the chore of leaves

seem less like a chore!

{hubby disagrees with this statement}

I love the book wall

and platters.

Stunning....

So simple, but yet such a big impact.

 If the weather were to permit,

we will so be having Thanksgiving

outside this year!

Thanksgiving mantle....

Yesterday, I showed you what my typical mantle looks like,

and you can click here to see my Halloween mantle,

so I thought I would show you my Fall/Thanksgiving mantle.

I like to use things that are not traditionally used,

so I went with quail and some pine needles...

It still has that Fall bounty feel,

but just a little more subtle.

S

There ya' have it.

A little bit of Fall at the Cottage on Covington.

fall decor....

I took some pictures

at the Country Living magazine general store

last weekend as inspiration for my house after Halloween,

as I transition my home into Fall and Thanksgiving. 

I thought they turned out good enough to share with you.

I love how it just looks like

 bounty tossed into a large basket.

Mums in baskets.

So simple, but such impact.

These baskets are about 4 feet high.

I love how they have used baskets everywhere

with traditionally fall plants.

A stack of pumpkins on a wreath

sitting in a chair.

I am planning on using all these ideas in my house this year.

Thanks Country Living....again.
