Little Things that Give Such Joy

Putting a pretty Fall glass cutting board behind my sink has given such a spark of joy. I love Fall.

Regal Bee. Very beautiful. Fall is my favorite time of the year. We live in S. WI, but are in the NE visiting our ds & ddil. MA & ME are so beautiful.

That's so pretty Regal Bee. Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. I put out my decorations yesterday. I love everything about Fall. The colors, the crisp cool air, cozy clothing, comfort foods, baking.

We're battling awful smoke here from the wildfires, so we will have to wait for the cool, crisp air. Bless all the brave firefighters battling the fires.

@Regal Bee, It goes with your decor. The trees are really starting to change color now and the nights are much cooler. We will have some mid 40's at night this week in Chicagoland.

Beautiful, now if there was a turkey with chestnut stuffing roasting in the oven...

I agree @Regal Bee. Last year I arranged a flameless candle and fall decor in a small lantern I keep on my counter sink side. I changed the decor out for Winter with snowflakes, evergreen and berries. For Valentine's I added hearts. It was the cheapest decoration to whip up because I already had the lantern. I enjoyed it every night the candle would automatically light.

I have been using Capiz shell and narrow plastic trays behind the faucets for years.

@Regal Bee Very pretty. I do that as well. Sometimes I use a turkey platter around Thanksgiving. You are right, it just adds something pretty to the sink area.

I use a seasonal platter on a plate stand to hide my outlet on my kitchen counter.

@panda1234 I am such a big fan of easels with pictures, plates, platters on them. I think they just look really good in so many places.

Put out all my fall decorations on Labor Day and I was delighted. Nothing fancy, but just a nod to my favorite time of year.

@panda1234 lol. YW. I know the feeling. Sometimes I start to type a post and a word or name of an item just won't come to me. Senior moment or sometimes hours.

@Regal Bee

I like your fall decoration. In fact I like how you've decorated along the whole window, with the plants and cows, it looks so pretty. I really like your tumbled stone backsplash. I have a feeling I would love your whole kitchen. Have you posted other pictures?

On Thanksgiving Day, to hear the parade going on while I'm busy in the kitchen, and then later hear the football game with the Lions, makes me all warm and fuzzy all over.
