AUTUMN is definitely HERE!

Love this season-it's coolness and special decor that says CHANGE in HERE! Here's some photos of my friend Caryn Stott's home decor which is so fun every season!

 
Caryn has pillows for every season-fun and her closets are full

Sweater weather fits this season very well...

Pumpkins are everywhere!

Where does she find all this stuff? At Thrift Stores!

I haven't decorated with pumpkins yet, it's still sunflower time

Ah autumn leaves still coming to So. Utah

Just love all the different shapes of pumpkins

Leaves and pumpkins of all colors-fun!

More pumpkins of different textures and leaves galore!
