I think I'm a little late to the fall decorating party as I'm just now thinking of adding a rustic dash here and there. There are so many beautiful ideas out there, but maybe you don't want too too much, just a wee bit. And maybe you don't want to go to Pottery Barn and plunk out the big bucks for turkey plates or Halloween decor. And while you can certainly find some beautiful things, they often seem limiting, and anyway, you have to store it somehow off-season. Rather than decorate specifically for Halloween or Thanksgiving, I'd rather decorate for fall in general. Here are some beautiful and fairly inexpensive ideas that can carry you through the fall months, and most would even be pretty during Christmastime. I've included the source in each caption when I could.

And while I'm not too much into decorating for Halloween, here's one sophisticated trick for Halloween decor!

And don't forget that sometimes the best costumes are often the easiest ones. All you need here is a black eyebrow pencil. I once captured my neighbor's white lab and penciled in some thick eyebrows and sent him home. I didn't get a picture of him but somehow he looked French, like this little fella. How does this make a dog look French? But it does, right?
