I am hoping to share my fall porch for this year next week.
I had wanted to do it this week but my girl trip to Newport Beach last week set my schedule back a bit.
So I thought I would share a little sneak peek with you in the meantime.
The temperatures in northern California are still pretty high so I always worry about the pumpkins rotting and the mums drying out if I buy everything too soon.
But I have to jump on the bandwagon sooner rather than later so I can enjoy all the beauty that autumn brings.
Once the calendar turns to October, halloween will hijack the season.
I love fall, as I know most of you do too, and the bounty of natural beauty always amazes me.
You can also see my fall porches from previous years.

I love the textures and the natural pieces you used to create a lovely Fall porch. I haven’t taken the summer off my porch yet….it has been 90 here until today it was 64…yeah!
Looks great, I am loving those pillows and mums!
Thanks annemarie. It’s crazy hot here too that’s one of the reasons it’s taking me so long to complete the look I want. Thanks for stopping by. xo- mj
