Three simple Fall decoration ideas to enjoy :

Leigh Anne and Sherra say…

  1. Mini pumpkins and gourds
  2. Candles with fall scents like apple, cinnamon, pumpkin, nutmeg
  3. Cinnamon brooms – I always buy several of these special Fall seasonal items because they make the house smell so good! These must be a Southern “thang” because Leigh Anne had never heard of one. Love, love, love them!

Note from Sherra: I had to include these pictures for anyone who lives in an area that is cinnamon broom-deprived!

In October they are waiting for you as you walk in to the grocery story. Disclaimer: This is not an ad for Publix though it is our favorite grocery!

Picture 2

I had never read the fine print on the box and label until now. Maybe there are no trolls in Oregon…

From the land of herbs & spices comes Cinnamon-hence the Trolls of the mountains to make the brooms. May the presence of our brooms bring warmth and enchantment to your home.

And they are Made in America!

Three Things Thursday is…
Three things related to our word of the month…or three random things we thought of while we were shopping, driving, sleeping…well, you get the idea. The only thing we can guarantee is that Sherra thinks in threes and she insisted we do this on Thursday. She’s bossy like that.
