Autumn Creeps Up Slowly

Fall has come in stages to our home this year. 

In September, I planted mums in the planters on the patio...

and in front of the barn.

 Then I came inside and pulled out the autumn throws and pillows.

Two weeks ago, I purchased pumpkins and kale for the front step. 

Then last week, I rescued my glass pumpkins from their tissue paper and tupperware coffin. 

Finally, today I made a new autumn center piece.

  I got inspired by finding the cool slate, long & skinny container.

Maybe decorating in bits is best. Doing a single thing at a time, doesn't make it seem like such a production. How do you decorate?  Are you all in or do you pace yourself?
