Fall bench

I just couldn't take it anymore.  I had to do some Fall decorating before me move.  Normally I would have started on the inside by now but I will have to wait until we get settled into the new home.  Since I haven't started packing yet I thought that I would at least decorate my bench on the front porch.





 I thought I would keep it simple and not decorate around the bench since I will be moving this soon anyway.  We will be having the appraisal done on our current home Monday so that night I can start packing.  I will be lucky to get all my breakables packed and moved over to the new house before we have movers come.  I like to move my own items that are breakable as I have had things broken before.  This will be a chore as I have a lot more breakables since we moved here.

      Thank you Pat. I will be sharing pictures of the new house shortly after we close on it. I want to make sure and get pictures when it is empty. We will be moving about a week after we close. Have a great week!

    Awww it all looks so well together and I love the addition of the plaid blanket that would feel good on a cool evening!!
    The whole bench is so welcoming, lovely addition to your front porch!!

    Wishing you luck when you start packing, I know it can be a pain in the neck.

    Thanks for sharing on the Oh My Heartsie Girls WW this week!!!
    Have a great week!

      Thank you Karren. I started packing Monday night. I thought that I could at least get one room packed a night but that isn't happening. I have way too much stuff that needs to be wrapped carefully and that takes a lot of time.

    Hi Jody,
    I am visiting from Share Your Cup Thursday. Your fall inspired bench looks so inviting. It looks like a delightful place to curl up with a good book and a cup of hot cider. I see that you have always wanted to live in the south. I live on the MS Gulf Coast. Can't get any more south than that in MS! My husband once lived in Colorado while his dad was stationed there. I have always wanted to visit. Looks like a beautiful state. I am so glad to have found you and am a new follower. Please stop by Still Woods Farmhouse when you get a chance. I am sharing a yummy fall inspired muffin that would taste absolutely delicious on your bench!
    Blessings from Lynda at Still Woods Farmhouse

      Thank you Lynda. I just checked out your muffins and they look delicious. I love Colorado but I am not a snow lover unless I can just stay home. I love the South with the humidity and warmth. I started following your blog too. I love the pumpkin that you did for the door. I have always wanted to cut some of my pumpkins in half. I just might have to try it. Have a wonderful weekend!

      Thank you Barbara. I am going to have a ton of boxes and loose items that I will have to move myself. I don't want to pack the boxes too heavy for me to lift so I am using more boxes than normal.

      Thank you. I can't keep this on my porch either as it would blow away. I can only leave heavy items on the porch. I hope I will have better luck at my new house with decorating outside.
