Casa Serafina’s Fall
Front Door
In this part of the country, it can be a bit of a challenge to get into a Fall frame of mind. Temperatures are often still on the high side and, without a colored leaf in sight, the feel of the season can be lost. Here is my encouragement: “Don’t skip Autumn!” While you certainly don’t need to stack straw bales and pumpkins on the porch or put a scarecrow out at the mailbox, a simple Fall wreath on the front door or an arrangement of dried flowers and branches can make a great statement and give you a little more of that Fall feeling. At Casa Serafina, there are always some special things placed around to give a “nod” of appreciation to this favorite season. The front door is decorated and a few dried florals with mini-pumpkins and gourds add touches of beautiful Autumn colors. It helps set the mood as we head toward Thanksgiving.

If you need further inspiration, plan a trip to a part of the country or state where the season’s colors abound to collect your own Autumn foliage. This easy-to-make twig vase will dress up the Thanksgiving table (and even carry you through Christmas with some pine tucked inside). It can be made in varying shapes and sizes and filled with the foliage you collect. It’s a great family and/or friends project. Break out the Pumpkin Bread and the Spiced Cider! Welcome Fall!
