The flower stand at our farmer's market has been selling sticks with little pumpkins attached for the past few weeks. I haven't seen anything like them before. They look fake they're so cute. We bought a branch this weekend and I hope they'll last the rest of the month.

I made a practice apple pie on Saturday using this recipe. We are planning on making apple pie and sweet potato cupcakes for Thanksgiving.

I put out orange candles in our new candle holders and made the bed with dark brown sheets.

I should note it's in the 80s outside. So at least inside, it feels like fall.

    I bought some of those crazy pumpkins on the branch at our local Trader Joe’s. They even took our checker by surprise! Love the Fall look of your place!

    Love the pumpkins. I thought they were fake until you said they aren’t!
    Also, we have the same sheets.
