Not decorating for Halloween this year, just doing a complete fall decor. I have 3 parties at my house in the next 5 weeks..so I'm cutting corners so that my decorations will work for the whole time!

Yes,I am decorated! I have like 5 tubs of Fall and then one simply Thanksgiving. And lest you think this is unfrugal, I have been collecting this stuff for 29 years and have never moved. I did downsize about a tubful to my DD and DIL last year, but I have a lot. People think I spend a lot but it is all yard sale, thrift store, homemade, or heavily discounted. Love to decorate for Fall and Christmas!

I can't say a thing because I have lots of decorations too. LOL I've collected them over the years from clearance sales, yard sales, Goodwill. I've made some of mine too. I'm always on the watch for things although I have cut down about that since I have so much already. I reuse my things each year.

We don't usually decorate for "fall" however I do have beautiful table lantern tealight candle holders that are orange and I do plan on putting them out.

As for the rest, we're letting Mother Nature decorate for us outside

Hallowe'en - we have plastic re-usable jack-o-lanterns that either use batteries or plug in. We'll be putting those out on Hallowe'en Day.

I don't really decorate for the Fall holidays. Just Christmas!

I've got a wreath on the "front" door of preserved yellow oak leaves, fake acorns and raffia bows that I made a few years ago, that's all. Your post reminded me I have a tub -lurking somewhere in the basement, hmm, maybe an exploratory trek is in order!
