Today, I learned that sometimes it’s worth spending a little extra money sprucing up your front walkway for Fall. A few pumpkins, a friendly welcome mat, and some beautiful fall flowers will spruce up the mood and get you in the mood for the festivities of Fall and all the seasons to follow.

According to Irish folklore, Halloween started as a Celtic celebration called Samhain, a commemoration of the end of the harvest season. Here is a link to an interesting article exploring the origins of Halloween and the Celtic celebrations of Samhain: https://www.history.com/news/halloween-timeline

Orange, pink, green, and white colors are always a favorite to use during fall decorating, probably because they resonate well with harvest colors. These are the colors I have used to add that pop of color to my home. I found a lot of great deals with these colors at Costco. Costco is always a go-to for seasonal decorations for me. As Halloween approaches, I will add more spooky decorations such as white sheet ghosts, skeletons, and tombstones! I keep my seasonal purchases to more timeless things. I may only be able to afford one or two items, but if I stick to the more timeless pieces, I store them and use them for the following year. I also try to hit up estate and garage sales to find deals on timeless pieces. Sometimes, you can get the best stuff from these sales.

I hope someone finds simple inspiration through my blog, and don’t forget- the best part of Fall is that we get to keep it simple! Enjoy!
