Fall Reminiscing

Hello my sweet friends.

I want to share some of my past fall decor along with the beginnings of this years fall decor.

I will start with fall from the last
 Junk Chic Cottage Homes.



Fall 2013 My first year in Blogland.

Mixing my summer flowers still hanging on from summer with fall.  This was Fall from the Lake House in 2013.



Sweet potato vines still going strong all the way to our first frost in 2013.



My front door  2013.



In 2014 we were still in out Lake Zurich home.

2014 Pumpkin decor. Hmmmm what happened to that sweet silverware lamp???!!!! Now seeing this past picture has me thinking what the heck happened to that lamp.  I loved that lamp!  I must have given it away with all the moves. :(

Mantel 2014 Fall.

Some of the pretty neutral pumpkins in my decor 2014.



2015 Our Front Fall Porch.  We just put the Lake Zurich home up for Sale.

2015

2015 I loved those little white boots.  I just found them the other day while looking for something else in my storage area. I will have to think of something cute to do with them for this year.


Terry's little fire truck we had in the front yard 2015.  It is now living in my daughter's front yard.  When we downsized to the town home we had to give away a lot of the yard stuff.  Just happy it has a good home in my daughter's front yard.  Her hubby is a firefighter too.

2016 Centerpiece

2016 white chippy chair and pumpkins.

2016 my gifted witch mouse from Judy @ Country Gold Cottage.  Love this little guy.

Some of my decor in 2017.  You can see the little witch mouse on the bench with my pumpkins and of course Cooper resting in his favorite spot in this house.  He loved that spot and laying in the sun all day.  Oh I miss you so much Coop. ;(


2017 Front Door Harvest Angel

My Harvest Angel put up last year 2017 right when we moved into the new cottage home.  As you can see she gained more flowers last year.

Some of my whites and neutrals 2017

My sweet angel with her white pumpkins 2017.


Very neutral Harvest Blessing 2017.


2017 White sweater pumpkins.



Beginnings of fall for 2018.  Lots of gray and neutrals in my cottage home.
This sweet angel witch was gifted to me by a beautiful southern angel artist.  




You will be learning more about who gifted this sweet angel witch to me and some other exciting news to share relating to this sweet artist in my next post. 

So stay tuned.

Terry and I will be married 37 years this coming Wednesday September 12th.  He and I are escaping life for a few days to celebrate together.

  Hopefully when I return after the weekend I will have more to show you on the vintage door decor and about the Murphy Bed he is making for our guest room.

Have a beautiful week.
Hugs,
Kris

  13. I love looking back at all your fun decor, Kris, so beautiful! I also had to laugh about your lamp. That happens to me all time when I peek back. I'm like what happened to this or that...and if I gave it away there's always a little wash of regret. Oh well...room for more new stuff now, right? Happy Anniversary! Enjoy your trip and you know I'll be anxiously awaiting your next crafty post to see what you two have up your sleeves! xoxo

  17. Happy Anniversary! Wow, Terry has some mad skills. I look forward to seeing the Murphy bed. Thanks for putting together this round-up post of all your autumn pretties. I love the white pumpkins, and I must say that the recipient of the silverware lamp is one lucky chick! So cute!

  18. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Celebrate with love and cherish it! I had my husband for 37 years before he passed and I enjoy my memories.

  19. Was fun looking back! I like when there is just a tiny pop of orange in your Fall decor. For some reason, though I don't like orange that much, I need to see it in Fall decor for it to seem like Fall! Weird huh? Love all of your beautiful types of pumpkins and angels (and mice too)!! Happy Anniversary and have a really nice mini trip! xoxoxo Marilyn

  20. So pretty, Kris. I guess I didn't meet you until Lake Zurich as I don't remember some of the earlier decor. It's good to catch up. It seems Terry is at it again! Can't wait to see how it turns out. I'm so glad Bitty Morsel's little sibling got such a good home. Happy Anniversary to you both and enjoy your little get away..xxoJudy

  38. You are cracking me up about that lamp! I do that all the time when going through old photos! It drives me crazy wondering where things went!

    Your decor is beautiful. Oh, and 1803 Pumpkin Cornbread candle is one of my all time fave fall scents.

    Happy fall!
