Celebrating Fall

I love to welcome in a new season and while I hate to see summer go, I do enjoy the fall colors and that crisp feeling in the air.  I like to start on the official first day of fall and add some decorative touches to my home as well as using some fall-scented bath products.

On my front porch, I hang a fall wreath, rip out the flowers in my flower boxes and replace them with colorful fall flowers (from Michael's) as well as a fall garland.

Then I change out our dishes from brightly colored, Mexican-patterned dishes to these.  Nice and warm and I love the poppies on them.

Next, I create a little display on the kitchen island and another on the kitchen counter, along with some fall-colored kitchen towels and place mats for the table.

Then I head upstairs to the bathroom where I replace my summer-scented bath fizzies with ones that smell more like fall.  I get out my fall Fortune Cookie Soap box and start using these great products.  And finally, I change out my shower scrub to one that has a warm scent.  This year I'm using an Ulta brand scrub called Amber Sparkle.

What do you like to do to welcome the fall season?
