November

I can't believe we are almost through the year. Time goes so quickly!

I've been changing and adding fall decor. I certainly enjoy seeing how other ladies decorate their homes for seasons, and thought I'd share with you too.

First, natural (dead) leaves. They're prettier fresh off the tree, but really, who thinks about changing them before taking a photo? Anyway, you'll get the idea. :)

My banner, and chalkboard with a saying appropriate for the season. It comes from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

A verse appropriate for every season, and one I have been thankful for to remind me.

The dining table:
My cloth is stylishly short with the leaves in. (Okay, so I might be making up the "stylishly" part. I still like it!)

Guests for dinner brought a lovely hostess gift:

I love the contrast and texture of the burlap runner (cut from a feed sack) with the wooden crate against the bright tablecloth.

I so far have skipped the pumpkins this year and just added a cute little scarecrow and non-traditional square branch wreath to the outside.

I adore the maple tree in the front. It turns everything to gold in the fall!

Have a wonderful month of Thanksgiving!
