For those that know me and my family so well now, after 4 years of being at QVC, you know that we had 2 bulldogs, Gourdie + Pumpkin.  Pumpkin passed away earlier this year, but the love of Pumpkin (and pumpkins) lives on!  Take a little tour through my home to see how I pull the feeling of Fall into my decor but keep that beachy touch to it...sorry, it's the Cali girl in me!

I bought the most recent Duraflame in the Aqua color and decorated it with white pumpkins and the Valerie Parr Hill Mercury Glass Speres we carry.

We got these pumpkins years ago (not from QVC).  They are tin and light up with the girls names. So cute!

We have about 8 bundles of cornstalks all around the property and tons of mums!

And on to the pumpkin carving!  This year we did it a little differently.  Here is my hubby Dan working on our beachy pumpkin theme this year.  YES, that's a drill!  You'll see why Smiley Happy

So pretty!  These anchor and starfish sketched pumpkins were the perfect addition to our front porch look.

Tell me, have you and your famiily been decorating for Fall? Do you have traditions, try new things each year or completley skip over it and go straight to the Holidays?
