By now I usually have changed things around to reflect fall, but somehow time has passed and summer slipcovers are still in place.  We will be leaving this house soon, so I see no reason to struggle with putting fall slips on.  Call me lazy, but leaving the sofa and chairs as is will make the spring return easier.

That being said, I can add some little touches to make it look a little more like fall.  The easiest change is pillows.

They are a simple and inexpensive way to give chairs and sofas a new look.

Textiles add warmth and color to any room, and I use them at every opportunity.  Here a crazy quilt  with rich colors and sheaves of wheat in its design becomes a table topper.

A shawl woven in fall colors is handy should anyone want to cozy up to the fire.

Nature provides some little touches.  Apples are in season and hydrangeas are cut and drying nicely.  Both are great for table tops. 

Oh, and let’s not forget about pumpkins and gourds which are my favorite symbols of fall.

Inside or out, you can never have too many.

 With a fire burning brightly, there is no question that it is fall with or without little touches!
