Feeling the Excitement
Fall Fever….yep, I have it bad! Hold me back! I have bins of Fall goodies spread out all over my studio….I use this room as command central to organize myself. I am always a bit surprised at the amount of things I actually have once I start unpacking them. (Don’t tell my husband!) :-)
One of the most delightful parts of this unpacking are the smells of so many of my Fall items. I have waxed pinecones that just take me directly into my imagination…..I can almost feel the crisp, cool air.
I am trying to decide if I want to put up my Fall Village this year. It is massive and a ton of work but when it is completed….it will be fabulous. Should I?
I hope you are having a wonderful day. Come on Autumn!
Hugs, Barb

YES!!!! I would love to see it. I have fall on the brain, too. It is the beginning to the most wonderful season. I've started to pull out my goodies and projects and hope to start on my porch this weekend. (I'm ignoring what the thermostat outside says...lol) Patty
I, Barb. What good will it come the autumn there! Here in Brazil we enter the spring and then comes an enormous heat, because here is tropical. In the region where I live, in southern Brazil, the temperature is in the extreme cold in winter (it's snowing) and very hot in summer! I love the autumn is my favorite season. Enjoy all you can and decorate your house with the theme this season. I would like to see your ideas in your blog, I'm waiting! Hugs,Fatima-Scrapart.
I just adore those acorns!! I like spring and summer better but I LOVE the fall colors. My whole house is in fall colors!
Yes. I love fall decorations. Still have some more summer left here in NY.
I love fall!
Blessings and prayers,

Absolutely! I would love to see it! I think the Fall decorations are the prettiest! I always feel the urge to decorate when school starts! I have my boxes down to go through today! ♥
HELLO BARB.....
YES, YES, YES DO PUT UP YOUR VILLAGE!!! I FOR ONE WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT WHEN ITS ALL SAID AND DONE :)
NO NO NO! I want to hold on to summer! You all are pulling me in with your beautiful fall scenes! This one is lovely! I just can't get into unpacking that stuff yet! :=)
A fall village would be a lot of work but if you start now you have all the way through Thanksgiving to enjoy it. I'm going to do my Christmas village this year, but won't start until after Thanksgiving. It's a fun thing to do also. The weather here is blissfully cooler today.
Well . . . I want to see it, but anything that involves so much work . . . to me, right now wouldn't get done. I looked around the other day and thought, "Since I am not having anyone over for Christmas this year, do I really want to put it all up?" LAZY! Yup - that's me right now. Too hot to work once I come home from work! LOL
I vote you do whatever your little heart desires.
Now then - wasn't I a lot of help?
:) HUGZ! Karen
I would love to see your village. I am sure it is stunning. I love all the fall colors and just may keep them up all year. Can't wait to see all of yours. Hugs, Marty
A fall village. How cool is that. Yes! Put it up and take a lot of pictures!!

I LOVE those acorns! Can't wait to see the rest! Linda
If you have the time and would enjoy it then go for it! I, for one, would very much enjoy seeing it!

Oh Barb...I am sure your village is lovely....but you need to do what you can. I find as I get older, I am appreciating just touches of decorations....and so much simpler....
The acorns are just beautiful...I am loving all of the peeks into your fall decorating! I would love to see the fall village...I say go for it!
Enjoy!
Cathy
I want to see your village! Yes, please do set it up! I love Fall and Fall decorating too! I am chomping at the bit now too. Have a great day. Today is my b-day!!!! XO, Pinky
Oh you sweet girl, you DO have the Fall fever again! Of course we'd all love to see your Fall Village!
Our summer has been so mild and pleasant for the most part... I'm actually not ready for it to end quite yet.
Those acorns are TOO cute btw!!
Did you get your work rental finished yet?
Love ya!
Sherri:)
I would love to see it! Fall is one of my favorite seasons...I love all of the colours!
Micki
Those acorns are just great. Oh, I would love to see your village! I can't wait for fall, was out and about today and the fall decorations are everywhere, I love it!
Nancy
I love the acorns! I still have all my summer stuff out...not quite ready to change yet.
Whether you choose to put it up or not, I will still look forward to all visits here and never leave without feeling inspired and blessed. You take a season like Fall and do the impossible...you add even more beauty to it. I love your enthusiasm for my favorite season. Your acorns look so good with the orange seeds.
Oh Barb, please, please, please, put up your fall village and post pictures of it...I would LOVE to see it...Hugs, Sue in Ohio
Love your wooden acorns, but here the squirrels are dropping the real ones out of the oak tree on the metal roof of our mobile home and it is very loud. They started out very small about a month ago but now are about the size of a quarter. It gets annoying after a while. Have a good fall.
Barb, how I'd love to see fall blow on in. We've had a cool front come our way so now our temps are better. Down in the 90s from the 107+ range. I'm definitely ready for fall. Love the little vignette on the mantel. I have some of those same acorns. Wish I could find more. I just happened upon some of these last fall in a clearance bin at Michaels. I scooped up all they had.
Hope you feel like putting up the fall village. I'd love to see it! ~ Sarah
So beautiful decor!!!
I can already fell the change taking place...its in the air. Trish
Well Barb I'm sure any Fall village you put up is gonna be fantastic. You have a tremendous amount of talent! Love it.

That sounds wonderful Barb! Let us see your fall village. I'm ready for fall as well.
Blessings, ~Melissa :)
I was just wondering the same. Should I put up my fall village? I hope you do...I know how much joy it brings you and it surely will bring everyone else a little eye candy joy too!
I've seen pics of your fall village and it's just wonderful. I say, if you feel up to it put it up Barb.This is my favorite time of year and I think you inspired me to go into the attic while it's cool and get out some of my stuff; I am ready!! Where did you get the acorns; I love them.
Yes Barb this time of year gets to us, I am ready for the mountains and the leave change, oh yeah I am ready for fall, these 90° temps daily just are too much, hugs Barbara
Well ya know I hate to put you to all that trouble but-- YES YES YES, pretty please with whatever topping ya want on it-- Put up the fall Village.. I think that's such a fab idea~!!
Love those acorns too...
hugs

Hi Barb,
I'm with you! Fall is where I want to be. I have been decorating the house and making things to go around the house for a few weeks now. Plus, I'm getting married this fall. A little bit of that story will be on my blog tomorrow for my celebration of Tasha Tudor Day.
I hope you do end up putting up your fall village and I also hope you take lots and lots of photos of it and post it on your blog. I would love to see it.
I hope you have a beautiful fall-ish weekend,
Susan

Apparently I am not the only one who has begun fall decorating, Barb! It is my favorite time of the year and I got into the mood last week when the temps began to fall.... It is gorgeous out now- no humidity. There is a crispness to the air and it is TIME for autumn to makes its appearance. LOL Looking forward to seeing all your pretties. hugs, Sue
I don't know about Florida, but in central England we're already seeing signs of the seasonal change. Once the Labour Day weekend is over, I'm going to be setting up for Autumn.
I agree completely - Autumn is my favorite time of year! Beautiful picture and display. I am excited to come back and see more! Victoria Lynn
Beautiful serene pic as always, Sweet Barb! I vote for you to display and share with us your Fall Village, after all, it IS fabulous!!
Big TX Hugs,

Barb, I am hosting a one time linky party that is gonna be FUN! Come see...http://chickncharge.blogspot.com/2010/08/soul-of-south.html
Dear Barb,
Your pictures are a joy, as are your comments :)
Maryanne
Those acorns are amazing!!! Ah, thanks for helping me get revved up for fall!

Do what makes your heart happy, dear Barb! You know how much me and Kristie love our fall villages...but they are a ton of work to set up and put away. I actually didn't do a single one this year. I find that I appreciate my special things all the more when I put them out less frequently.
As for fall fever, I have it badly! Unfortunately I've been sick for a few weeks now so things have to wait until I'm better :)
Happy Fall!
Judy@cutest-little-things
I'm so ready for a change in the temperatures! I want to put some long sleeved shirts on and I want to turn off my AC! Fall is my favorite season and I can't wait for it to get here!
Manuela
Barb, I always feel like I am the caboose getting into the fall spirit. Our muggy weather in Florida is definitely a deterrent. Your mentioning the scents of fall made me perk my head up though. I love the warm scents that come to mind. Your lovely mantel is a big help too!
