I love these ideas – I switch out my duvet covers and throw pillows and instantly transform our bedrooms from summer to autumn!

The fall display looks lovely. I’m inspired to start one of my own and I just bought a pumpkin today. I was told that the dark orange squash that you can eat the outer skin is good for soup. I bought one last year, or the year before, but only used it as decoration. I don’t know the name in English, or in German actually.

Canned pumpkin door stop all the way from the US? I’d say that counts, Juliette!

we are so not there yet! all summer we kept the windows and doors open all day and I needed a door stop, so I used one of my big US cans of canned pumpkin as a doorstop in the living room, does that count?? =) I was thinking of making a fall wreath, but our neighbors have already decorated the front stairs, so I suppose I’m riding on their fall-decor-coattails! =)

Good question, Michelle. We got that big round, orange item in the center of the photo from the farmer, too. He said it’s a type of really tender squash. You can actually eat the outer skin on it. So I don’t know exactly what we’ll turn that one into, but I hope it tastes good. Hope I can figure out what it’s called in English, too!

P.S…forgot to mention that I enjoy using red & green apples to use as vases! Simply core out the inside from top to almost the bottom. Makes a cute floral display.

Blessings,
