Thinking Fall Thoughts

The beginning of this week there was just barely a *hint* of coolness in the breeze in Charleston.  It was a very noticeable difference compared to the opressive heat and humidity of late.  Granted it only lasted about two days, early in the morning, it gave a nice sneak peak into the upcoming months.  Media, stores, fashion, home decor, etc. seem to think we are already in late November and soon will have Christmas cards and decorations in stock so there have been plenty of items to spark my nostalgia for cool fall days.  Here are a few of my favorite things, what are some of yours? 

I can't wait to jump into my favorite JCREW lounge clothes
with a good book and a glass of wine by a fire.

   

What about these adorable Halloween pumpkins for our front porch with a couple pots of geraniums?

Hopefully Mr. R, Tucker and I can schedule a quick getaway up I-26 to Asheville for a weekend to enjoy the beautiful fall colors of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
