Happy First Day of October!! It’s time for What Meegan Makes Fall Tour and I am inviting you along!! I can hardly wait to share my Fall Tour with you. I mixed old and new projects, fresh and fake pumpkins, along with some ideas I can’t resist sharing with you on the What Meegan Makes Fall Tour.
So, whatta you say??? Let’s get this tour on the road!!
Welcome to our Fall Home…
AS you know, I LOVE my book shelves. They are definitely a focal point in our home. I have enjoyed adding some Fall decor to the book shelves and the whole house.
Pine cones and colored marbles in a vessel make me smile. I get the touch of blue I like with the rustic and natural look of the pine cone.
Even a shoe mold needs a little Fall, too. Don’t you think???
Using some blue jars, I am able to add rustic elements for a Fall feel and look.
I LOVE my Gather Banner. It finishes off with such a good feel of soft feathers and again the rustic look with pine cones.
The artichokes are real. They are dried and add a little more variety of color for my Fall look. Filling my gold vase with more blue and turquoise marbles adds color and texture.
Pine cones atop my candle sticks along with a thrifted bottle are a perfect addition the the top of the book shelves. The water can was a gift from hubby. He likes the galvanized look as much as I do. The cloche is a thrift find. Pine cones seem to be one of the main elements in our home, don’t they?
Adding more blue bottles, my bling pumpkin, and more pine cones finish off the whole look of the book shelves.
The chest my grandpa made is topped with blues, greens, oranges, and reds. Don’t you just love the insulator colors???
This cute owl was a great find at Target. He looks cute on a candle holder. Just perfect for the chest, right?
Sitting on my $15 coffee table, I couldn’t have my Fall tour without my book page pumpkin. As you can tell, I like adding the blue marbles and pine cones just about everywhere.
This jar is one of my favorites in the house right now! I had a strand of berries, wadded it up and literally crammed it into the jar. And it looks crazy good!!
Any chance I get, I use my little bird bath. I love filling it with glass drawer pulls, vintage keys, and a ceramic birdie.
Moving towards the kitchen you will see my Grandpa’s croquet box filled with various flowers, leaves and berries. This croquet box is an all-time fave of my readers. I have fun using my creativity to fill it for each season and holiday.
And now we have the kitchen shelves. Since I don’t have a mantel, I love to use these as my mantel. I can honestly say, this is my favorite part of our home right now.
Mixing fake and real pumpkins, with an acorn squash or two, a few berries, more pine cones, and a wreath, I am in Fall Heaven!
The shutter was a thrift find. I brought it home and made it vintage looking. It is the ideal way to top off the shelves.
Can you see why this is my favorite spot??
The acorn squash sets atop a thrifted candle holder. It looks like it was made for it doesn’t it??
Thanks for joining me on What Meegan Makes fall Tour! It has been a treat to have you here and share just a bit of my idea of what Fall feels like to me.
It is always a pleasure to have you here! What are your favorite decorations and colors for this Fall??? I would love to hear all about it.
Thanks, again for visiting What Meegan Makes Fall Tour. I hope you come back again soon.
Make it a terrific Tuesday!

Happy Wednesday, my friends!! Has the Fall weather started creeping in your area? It is turning Fall here slowly, but surely. The temperature is still in the 90’s during the day, but the evenings are cooling off enough to open the windows. It is cool enough that I decided to add a few Fall decorations around our home. One of them is a DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner.
I had so much fun shopping for feathers to add to my banner. There are so many varieties and colors. I was looking for more of a natural feather rather than a Fall color like bright orange or red.
The components I needed for my DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner were:
Jute
Feathers
Pine Cones
Feathers
Hot Glue
Scrapbook Paper
Stencils
Brown Sharpie Marker
There are a lot of pine trees around our complex, so the pine cones were easy to find. Using hot glue I was able to add each component to make my DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner.
Using scrapbook paper, stencils and a brown sharpie I made my banner. I like the word “gather” for this time of year. Because as a family, we gather together often for Sunday dinners, Saturday soccer games, and we gather food to eat together.
I wish I knew what this little spiky balls are. I found them under a tree at church one day, scooped them up and knew they would be perfect for my Fall Decorating. Do you know what they are???
I love this scrapbook paper. It looks aged and worn with a little blue and green for variety. I was inspired by the Monday Blues to add blues and greens. It’s a look I like so much. Each separate piece adds to the look and feel of the banner.
I am really pleased with my DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner. I love the natural elements for Fall.
So, what do you think? Are you going to make a banner of your own?? What would yours say?
Thanks for stopping by today. I am happy to have you here everyday. I love reading your comments and try to respond to everyone.
Make it a wonderful Wednesday!

I share little bits and pieces of my blog and life on:
Oh my!! Fall is upon us and Thanksgiving is just days away. I thought it would be fun to share with you Six Fall/Thanksgiving Decorating Ideas. I LOVE using my kitchen shelves as a focal point. I chose to decorate them with 2 different styles, so you can see how easy and simple Thanksgiving decor can be.
My first choice is going with all whites, browns and a touch of blue (you know how I love blue!)
I love the outcome of this look. I used a jar from my croquet box filled with book page cones. I also painted my little pumpkins, that used to be orange. Super easy!! I really like to use empty frames so I used this one from my tv room.
I used the same PB knockoff pumpkin from my Halloween Shelves. I think it goes perfectly with the theme. I have my grandparents old books that I used for levels. The pine cones are from outside. Again-easy peasy!!
I think is goes very well with my Fall Paper decor
For my #2 idea: I added Fall colors to my Fall Shelves, because Hubby still likes the traditional orange (which happens to be his fave color)
I used a few of the same elements, but added some traditional Thanksgiving colors as well. Don’t you just love this scarecrow? He is my fave!!
For my #3 idea:
I am so pleased with my Fall Coffee Table. Simple and easy to bring Thanksgiving into our home. I painted this orange pumpkin white to blend with my ideas. I also rolled some book pages for a wreath look.
For my #4 craft:
Another great idea to bring Thanksgiving into your home. Using your used jars and add book pages with mod podge. Let your imagination go and create something wonderful for your table or mantel with these.
For #5 decor:
I had so much fun making this paper decor!! Again-easy simple and inexpensive!! It took me less than an hour to put this altogether. This would also look great as a centerpiece, don’t you think?
And, #6:
I also added some Fall decor on my bookshelf for a more Thanksgiving/Cottage feel to our home. I love to use my PB artichokes all over the house!! I love them in this vessel. They are perfect with the pumpkins and gourds.
I am swamped with things to do within the next couple of weeks, as we prepare for our son’s wedding. BUT, I do want to share with you some of the easy, simple Fall bookcase with a cottage feel I do have around our home. It was SUPER EASY and fun to get my creative juices going!
I basically used the same foundation as my Summer Shelf, but took away my shells and added new Fall elements. Easy and effective.
I found the clear pull knobs at HL. I knew I needed them!! I added Billy Balls to the vintage blue bottle for some Fall color. I also switched out shells and rocks for pumpkins.
I found the artichokes at PB a few years ago. They are working well in our home now matter the season. Love it!! Both candle sticks were thrift finds. I painted them to fit our decor.
Here is just another look at all the elements and colors. Same blue, same style with just a touch of Fall added. It is so easy to change things up in your home for each season. I have been doing it for years and I hope you can see how fun it is. You don’t need a lot to make a difference.
I hope I have inspired you to bring a little bit of Fall to your home with my Easy, Simple Fall Bookcase With a Cottage Feel . If you have decor already to place around your home, and don’t have a lot of time-just put up a few things. (I literally still have a full container full.) You still bring the season into your home without the clutter and taking up too much time.
Enjoy your day and treasure those you love.

We don’t have many little kiddos nearby who come over, so I wasn’t sure if I was even going to do any decorating for Halloween. With seeing all the cute and fun ideas around, I hopped on the bandwagon. After gathering my Fall accessories I put together my: I “Fell into Fall” Mantel
Some of the items have sentimental value. The “Happy Halloween” can was made our youngest son when he was in Cub Scouts. Now he will be married in just a few weeks.
Isn’t the pumpkin so awesome???? I made it last year after a visit to Pottery Barn. I KNEW I needed one! I found a fake pumpkin (of course). Painted it white. Let that dry, then mod podged old book pages to it. After 3 coats of mod podge, I let her dry for a few days. I then sprayed silver glitter all over for a more expensive, stylish look. The “trunk” is just stick I found outside. I added a little green moss around the top, for a finished look.
Here is a closer look of this beauty!!
I also made the BOO sign last year. I copied it, cut it out, then glued it onto black ribbon. With glitter puffy paints, I outlined the letters. So fun!! The owl is from Target in the dollar section-score!
My hubby bought me the candy corn wreath, because I LOVE candy corn SO much! I think the bat is cute, too. The bear was a gift from a friend. Don’t you just think she looks cute with her witch hat and collar??
This is a view along with my Fall Paper Decor. Yep, I finally decorated my “Fell into Fall” Mantel.
