Hello Fall - August 2024 Edition

Well, I certainly made up for missing the beginning of this!

 

 

Valerie's 10 p.m. show has been fun! I bought the harvest wheat teardrops. I also added the Hay and Harvest shatterproof harvest wreath. I thought it was different and will look nice on our front door.

 

 

 

It's interesting how I try to decide on something, then something else comes on and I don't even think twice!  Smiley Wink

@JudyL - You will have so much fun putting it around! I will too! I usually wait until after Labor Day - not sure I'll make it this year! LOL!

 

 

I can't wait to sit here at night when the house is quiet and look at those pretty pumpkins on our mantel!

@JudyL - I hear you! But I really have good luck with batteries. Most of the time I don't have to change them until I'm taking them out at the end of a season. 

 

DH has a battery check thing, so I usually put them right into something else!  Smiley Happy

@JudyL just for overall battery use i buy batteries in large quantity from Amazon. I have a battery caddy that i use. That really does help store and inventory. 

 

After the holiday season i remove all batteries from anything that was seasonal before i store it. I load with fresh batteries when i put out to decorate.

I watched more than I thought I would--but stil not alot and it was a nice change of pace. But I didn't buy anything--I have alot decor for fall that I love ,  so am happy with that. The TSV was nice tho.

@beach-mom
I really like those Hay & Harvest wreaths/garlands. I have two front doors so I resisted on the wreath. Although I could probably put one wreath elsewhere inside.

The harvest one was really pretty and elegant looking, but I couldn’t help wanting the Halloween one. Colors really popped! But it wasn’t practical enough to get for $60. I decorate more for harvest with only a few Halloweeny items.

@LizzieInSRQ  - Thanks for the tip re Amazon.  I buy so much from Amazon but have never thought about buying my batteries through them.  I also have one of those battery storage boxes. Will definitely buy batteries from Amazon this year.

I bought two battery cases with a strengh detector in them from QVC two years ago.  So perfect for storing my only partially-used batteries.  I gave them out to family members as Christmas presents, too. 

 

Unfortunately, I don't see this particular product still listed so it must have sold out.
