Early Fall Changes on the Sunporch

Happy Fall...for reals!
OK, it just hit me that we are coming in to the last full week of September, I can hardly believe it. And if I want to show you any changes that I made for an "Early Fall" sunporch vs. the "Late Summer" Sunporch of August, it had better be now.


Because things will change again in October and I'll bring out a few of my vintage Halloween things. I don't "do" Halloween up big like I did when my kids were little. Now, I just like to have a few little things that remind me of all the fun Halloween was when I was a kid. 



One of the changes was this old straggly suitcase here on my glass nesting tables in place of the Linen Picnic Hamper for Summer. I brought out my big orange Butterscotch Wafers tin and snuggled an ivy inside. I also found the O'Cedar tin awhile back. It's pretty rough, but then I just love the color.


One of my little birdies found a spot to perch.





It's pretty bright out here, you may need to put on your sunglasses.
But that's what I love about my sunporch, I can go color crazy!







I made a few Fall changes out here on the Baker's Rack too. My black kitchen scales are back, I added an old open garden book, there's an orange pottery tea pot and tray, an orange plaid Thermos, and then my "Make Your Own Seedbox" that I made with Fall colors has shown up. I'd been saving it for this month.



Then, one of my little owl friends wanted to come out to play.



He's hanging out with another little friend in the birdcage.


and speaking of owls, did you catch my last post about "owls"?












The settee will get a change up for October too, 
I'm planning it right now...
hmmm...
This may happen this afternoon.

 gets the "Bittersweet" treatment
on the chippy picket fence gate.




The black tole tray is still here holding some brown transferware, and I had to add a yummy candle to the mix. I have a candle burning most days from here on out. This one is Leaves, but good grief, the one in the kitchen is Pumpkin Pecan Waffle. That smell can make you go nuts...pun intended.

I found a few sunflowers last weekend while I was out , but their little heads are now hanging, and they are dropping their petals. I'll be saving the heads to dry for next year.


Hope you're having a wonderful 1st day of Autumn!


I just put together a link on the sidebar and a new "page" on the header of my past "Autumn Projects and Inspiration". Hope you enjoy a look at some of the fun from the last 4 years.

If you have an Etsy Shop or Online Boutique,
 hope you'll join in tomorrow for 


I also have a new post out on my Spiritual Journey blog about "Being Available". My posts have been few and far between this last year, but I'm hoping to do better. Sometimes "life" gets a little overwhelming...

Joining in on these great parties:

Have a wonderful Sunday!

  22. Ooo, I could do some serious shopping off your bakers rack, and the owl in your birdcage is a hoot! No sunglasses for me. I love all the color!

  24. I love it all Debra! I too will be swapping out for Halloween soon. Boy, does time fly by so quickly any more. I snagged that same O Cedar tin last year at a barn sale. Mine is quite rustic also. Loved it for the color. So clever how you corralled them in the suitcase.
    hugs,
