Decorating for November

We added a few more autumn details to our house.  I really like the idea of using natural decorations and don’t want to rush into Christmas with so many American and German celebrations to come this month.

Pulling decor straight from nature is easy, refreshing, and just the perfect little touch for the coffee table and other corners.  Plus when the season is over, you don’t have to worry about figuring out where to store everything.  Most goes right into your tummies!

You might remember the arrangement on our dinning table.  Using natural decor just takes a trip to the grocery store.  As we eat one of the squashes or more walnuts, I find myself purchasing new ones to slip into the empty gaps.

Our newest additions are little glass votives filled with nuts and bees wax candles.  Easy and cheap!  Bees wax candles smell amazing, and they seriously lack the toxins of traditional paraffin candles.  Your house can sport environmentally friendly decor and cost almost nothing.

For a few extra touches, have you checked outside? We have little acorns, twigs, and leaves I have picked up from walks in the park.  It’s the little touches that add to our days.  (Bringing a little browns and yellows insideIt’s also a clever way to keep Christmas at bay and savor the Thanksgiving season first.)
