Fall Fever


You have heard of spring fever, right? Well, I don't get spring fever....I get Fall Fever! What you see above is the little settee on our cozy, little front porch where I have spent a big part of my day. I can't seem to get my nose out of Autumn books, magazines and Fall cookbooks. What is a girl to do? Ha!

Does Fall Fever ever claim you? Help!!!!

  1. I do the same thing and need to start lounging outside in the backyard for like 20 min a day now that it is down to 70 degrees sometimes.

    I'm trying to muster my boo post for 3 or more Tues. :D

  6. I love Fall too. I've been sick in bed all day and I've been looking at all of my Fall magazines. I just wish that I felt better. I want to do so much around here. I did get my fall wreath on my front door. Thats a start!

    I love your sitting area on the front porch. It looks so peaceful.

  10. Hi Barb, I think it's very challenging to blend Fall decorations with a pink room!.. but the look you have here WORKS! LOVE your little pillow, and how the burgundy colored leaves tie in with the burgundy shades in your blanket! Everything looks so pretty! What a wonderful spot to relax in! ~tina

  11. I'm having Fall Fever, too! All I want to do is bake stuff and then EAT IT!

    I'm surely going to be the Fat Goose by Christmas. ACK!

    Love to you~Rebecca

  12. I have both those books Barb. I feel that the GBP CELEBRATE AUTUMN is perhaps their best. Would loved to have spent the day as you did!

  13. An AFGHAN! Oh boy, do I wish I needed one of those.
    It is so bloody hot here - I fear it is never going to feel like Fall.
    But my decorations are up even though it feels like August.
    I love the Gooseberry Books. I want to try and make everything in them!
    Thank you for your little bit of Fall!

  18. As always, your pictures are lovely! I like your "sitting" spot on your front porch. My favorite spot to sit and read is on my backyard swing, but soon it will be too "chilly" to sit there (It wasn't today) Then I move to my enclosed front porch, (but it's not heated so It will only be for a few weeks, but I do enjoy it while I can. By the way, your music is lovely.
    Blessings, Jill

  23. Morning Barb,

    You sound like you are doing exactly what I have been doing!!! LOVE your wicker settee and that pumpkin pillow and throw are just FABULOUS! I can't seem to get off my back porch swing. It has been so cool and delightful here compared to the normal HOT. All of my magazines and fall books are out there and I just get lost in them.......♥

  29. What a serene looking spot to relax in, Barb! I, too, have been reading & dreaming of ways to change things for the season.
    I went to the library & checked out Phyllis Hoffman's beautiful book on tablescapes, Southern Lady Gracious Tables. AWESOME! Then I stopped at Lowes & bought the new Country French magazine. At the grocery store I picked up Paula Deen's special Holiday issue. I am all set so scooch over & I'll join you. :)

  32. In Vermont, autumn is all around us now. 70 degrees is just a spring time dream at this point. I do like the layers of fall. clothes. colors. yard and estate sales.

  36. Oh, yes I can relate. Especially this past week when it has been gray and rainy most days. We finally got some much needed moisture. I love to curl up on one of our porches with my needlepoint or a good book. Yes, I get fall fever! ~ Sarah
