Every year I look forward to decorating for Fall. I get out my Indian corn, my sheaf of wheat ( at least I think it's wheat. Maybe its barley?), and the ceramic pumpkins. The artificial leaves and flowers and my quilted table topper, which I'd like to say I made but I'd be fibbing. This year my son brought home a bag of horse chestnuts which I display in a pretty little bowl. I'll pack them away at the end of the season and see if they will still be okay next year.
This "printer's box" is an idea I got from Pinterest. I have made a number of different ones that all sort of slip into this shelf.
Horse Chestnuts. Pretty but totally inedible!
Even the dollhouse gets some pumpkins and a tiny basket of apples.

That's about it for my decorating. As you can see it's all in the dining room. I do have pretty pots of fall colour on the front porch. Unfortunately no pictures of them today.

Haven't a clue what horse chestnuts are or where one finds them but thanks for the idea, love the texture and deep rich color....thanks also because it brought to mind that I have an ice cream pail of Chinese lantern husks (is that what you would call them?) somewhere that I totally forgot about. Must go find them and put them in a basket on my table....beautiful seasonal decoration but not something that I would ever grow again - thug alert for anyone even considering it unless you have a large meadow where they can grow rampant!
