Thank you for stopping by. I don't really have "fall" decorations. I have lots of Halloween and a little bit for Thanksgiving. My decorations run the gamut from homemade, to craft show purchases, to imported, to tacky. I love them all. The witch was a birthday gift from one of my best buds. Isn't she great? The witch, that is. 
My antique step cupboard in the dining room. On the top shelf are ghosts I made about twenty years ago. The pumpkin on the top shelf to the left is one I've had since childhood ~ it's REALLY old!
On the middle shelf are five paper mache pumpkins and a paper mache witch on a pumpkin, dating from the 40's, I believe.
A close up of tin noisemakers in a trencher.
Another close up view ~ this time of paper mache items.
A gourd I painted a few years ago.
These decorations are on top of the pie safe in the dining room. My dear mom (she's now 89) made the ceramic items in the 70's and early 80's. She did beautiful work and I will cherish them forever. I painted the scarecrow to the far right in 1975!!!
These decorations sit atop the jelly cupboard, also in the dining room. About half the items are craft show finds (some of them were gifts) and the rest are imports.
A not-so-little punch needle mat ~ a Lori Brechlin design.
One of my favorite little rugs that I hooked a few years back.
A wreath made by my younger son when he was in Cub Scouts.
A few more things in the kitchen. The flying skeleton rug was an eBay purchase. I painted the gourd to the left.

I hope you've enjoyed the ten cent tour of my Halloween decorations.
