Fall Fanatics

mil3 — Mon, 03 Aug 2015 03:32:20 GMT

I haven't posted in quite awhile and have been keeping up on all your CIJ purchases, but now that you have started fall talk thought I'd jump in again. Fall is by far my favorite season for everything...cool crisp air, smells, the food, colors and of course decor!

You guys talking about getting your fall decor out is wanting me to get out my favorite BL wreath and garland I purchased about 3 or 4 years ago. This is the plugin version with the harvest colored lights. Luckily I have power to my mantel and those lights are just stunning with the orange, green, yellow. Does anyone here have these?

Every year when I get them out I'm just hoping they still work.

I've been visiting all the stores already too. I have HL, Joanns, P1, Marshalls, TJM, Michaels all close by. It's like heaven when you walk in and see the fall stuff out!!

Love seeing everything you find and post, along with your ideas!

Hopefully this works, as this is the first time I've posted on this new forum.

I got this owl family from QVC when they were in stock and put them on the fireplace mantel with seasonal garlands. In the Fall, I put out the autumn leaves garland from JoAnne's and have them nesting in there. Winter has icy boughs.

@mil3 I'm glad you are posting again! Did you find any goodies, or did you just browse?

Hi, mil3. Good to see you here.

H207458

Jim Shore Heartwood Creek 12" Harvest Stackable (Auto-Delivery)

I am very curious to see the a/d pieces. Too bad he is on in the wee hours, and even the QPlus re-run is a bit early.

Hicindy, these are still available in 'as is'. I have them too and often think of getting a set in the 'as is' ones. They are great.

I wish I could make up my mind about what color my decorating is! It seems to be all over the place. I'm trying to make a decision about berry garlands and I don't know what color would look good in the spot I need to fill!

@LTT1

I hear you! This is me. And I have been rather frustrated with myself in a way, for the last couple of years.

What I did initally in setting up house decor, was to have a different color scheme and different styles of decor in different areas of my house. I did this because I had so many different types of styles and colors that I loved, and I could incorportate most anything I found, somewhere in my house.

I have a traditional home, in that it has three stories, and many separate rooms, not a big open floor plan where everything is seen from everywhere else. So that allowed me to have a forest green and wine rose colored master bedroom, as well as a blue spare room and a pink spare room. My family room, more primitive in forest green and tan, my living room in blues and mauves (yes, I know, still stuck with the color choices of the 80's and 90's) with a victorian and antique flair etc.

Lately I've wanted to neutral everything out, with tans, creams, and browns, so that I can use the walls, floors, and upholstered pieces as the neutral backdrop canvas to add seasonal colors and patterns with accesories and decor. I'm getting there very, very slowly, as I am still doing structural things and no money for new carpet, paint etc. all at once.

In the meantime, if it helps, allow yourself to perhaps make different parts of your house very different, so that things you see that you love can be incorporated easily, somewhere.

@Mominohio Your home sounds so pretty! The colors sound beautiful!

I just ordered fall berry picks and candle garlands from factorydirect. Has anybody ordered from this company? I am wondering if their artificials are nice looking?

So, I hope I like these... the one on the right is the same for the elements, but I purchased candle rings instead.

Those are beautiful! I'm off to Hobby Lobby for the first time since fall has been stocked, kind of afraid of what I might find!

That place I ordered from is having a big sale. I think artificials often don't look real. And dried bothers my nose!

In my area, Michael's has the worst customer service & line management. I turn another year older in line waiting to be rang up, among other poor service examples. I am lucky to have HomeGoods, JoAnn's, Kirklands, Pier1 & Pottery Barn all around me. It has been a long time since I have shopped at Michael's. Have you seen/been there since their fall mdse is being put out? I may have to check them out if so.

The only other craft place in Alaska is Pier One. Those other stores aren't available and the minute you say ship to Alaska S&H doubles-at least. Even QVC raises their S&H.

I stopped in AC Moore today. All of the Halloween decor was front and center. Of course, they also had Fall decor out. I bought a short string of Autumn colored lights last year, and went back for more and they were gone.

I spotted them this year and scooped them up! I love to use them in some of the stuff I already have, like grapevine pumpkins. I need to head up toward Hobby Lobby tomorrow, so I will see what they have.

I am of the opinion that it is never too early to purchase what you want. I have found if you wait until it goes on mark down, it may be gone for the year. Score when the scoring is good!
