No, Lousit, I didn't make the wagon. My sister-in-law did not want it any more, and everyone knows that they can give their un-wanteds to me, because I will use them, one way or another. If you do get your wagon made, please share a picture of it with us. Love your skeleton couple!

Wonderful decorations you guys!! I love them all! I just love fall. I don't have anything out this year. We have to move soon so I'm busy boxing everything up that I don't need out.

Love all the fall decor...my favorite time of the year...hopefully it will cool down here soon so I can get my yard decorated..

Shysue, I LOVE your things. All of them are so wonderful.
Lucky you to have that great wagon, and the bench and rocker too. The little girl scarecrow is darling. I have to save this post and keep looking at all the wonderful decor and ideas.

hugs, Karen

Oh I am so jealous of all your gorgeous decorations!
It is hard to decorate for fall when the temperatire is 90 and the palms are swaying and the orchids are blooming.I am going to have to do something though!

It's 90 degrees for me too, but I did manage this little display

Oh, I feel like I'm in "heaven!" You know that ol' classic baseball movie where someone says, "Is this heaven?" and someone replies, "No, it's Iowa!" Well, that's how it is around Iowa right now! I've enjoyed this posting and all the follow-ups and the great ideas everyone shared. I have to chuckle about buying "cornstalks" when our acreage is surrounded on 3 sides by fields of corn. In Iowa, this time of the year, there may be more fall "raccoons" out there getting the farmer's corn!

Also, would someone please share how you post pics on the "follow-up" message. I haven't found the instructions on doing that...Jeanne

I loved looking at all of your fall decor! My favorite time of year! I do a little decorating inside and just a tiny bit outside. I usually buy a few pumpkins but this year we had 3 from a volunteer plant in the garden. My mums are scattered about in the beds as I tend to plant them as soon as I get them so they have time to get their roots down before frost so they'll be back next year.

I prefer to let Mother Nature do her own decorating!

The annuals in the baskets of my bike died when we took vacation in August, but the asters came right through the tires.

Happy Fall, y'all!

WOW you guys!!!!!!! Love all the decorations. I gotta get going I guess!!!!! Love that skeleton couple siting on the bench what a riot!!!!!!!

Everything looks awesome! Guess I will have to put out something--you have inspired me!

If I commented on everyone's awesome stuff, this would be a novel!

I am truly inspired. Absolutely looooovvvvvvley!!!! I can tell this is a "fall-lovers" group.

Wow Sue, your decorations are just beautiful! Is that all on your front porch? If so, can I come sit a spell?!?

Goldenpond, we've got the 90s and palms swaying going on here in Phx. But with my house decorated for Fall inside this year, I'm "feeling" it now. LOL

Robo, your porch setting is so lovely.
Luvstoclick, how wonderful you can actually have Nature do your decorating. Breathtaking photos. I'd love to have a green thumb, would also love to have some rain to make things grow here. LOL

This has been such a great post, Kirk thank you for starting it. I keep looking at all the photos over and over and enjoying them more than words can tell.
Great job, Everyone!!!

hugs, Karen

cindee. or anyone. can you tell me where i can see the skeletons on the bench at? me old eyes can't find the picture.

Dustyknees, I'm not Cindee, but I'll try to help. The pic is under Lousit's post. You have to copy & paste it. I'll try to put it in this post.

thanky shysue. haven't seen faces like that before. almost comical.i like it.

WOW! WOW! WOW!

First, thank you Kirk for starting this post!

Haven't been online much in a long time and just knew if I came to these forums I would get a pick-me-up!

All of your decorations are stunning!

I have been a member since 1999, and have never been able to post a pic. Now, thanks to my wonderful youngest daughter, I can!

I got this idea from Oddie over at the craft forum, and did post them there, but just had to share here, too.

Have missed you all...it is going to take me all winter to go back and see what I have missed...but it will be fun!

Thanks again for sharing.

OH MY GOSH!!!!! I am soooo impressed with everyone's creations! You inspire us!!!! WOW!!!! This has been a fun post to read and see everyone's creativity! Kirk

So creative! My decorations are boring in comparison. I better get crackin'. Thanks for sharing all!

Gram, those 4x4 pumpkins are so cute. I love the silly faces on them, will have to save this idea!
I'm not into the scary faces on Halloween things for some reason, but sure like fun ones like this.

Welcome back by the way.
hugs, Karen

It definately has be fun to see all the creativity.... You all are soo talented!! I have company (the inlaws) right now so no crafting goin on here but I sneak a minute once in a while online to see what's up. I defineately need to make some of those 4x4 pumpkins... there are some scraps out there somewhere. Now to check my paint supply. Thanks for sharing everyone.

Very inspiring.I love all the decorations.You guys have some great ideas! Letha

WOW what a wonderful way to wake up on Saturday morning. I haven't had a chance to be on the board this week and you guys n' gals have been busy for sure!
Like someone said, if I commented on everything, it would be a novel. Anyway, everything is just beautiful, amazing, creative, talented, awesome, just not enough words to describe.
Going to Michaels this weekend to get some pumpkins. I'm going to try the display Purplemoon shared. Love the fireplace display and greyhound, too :)

Thanks again everyone for sharing.

ah now I see why there are so few posts right now...Kirk has sent all scurrying around getting and making stuff. Way to go Kirk. I have enjoyed this post a lot. All the projects are great. I have some landscape posts or timbers painted white, maybe I can just add eyes. I am for fun things and not scarey also...but my DD has this 10ft tall funny frankenstein that the neighborhood kids love. Maybe I will catch up on my rest and get busy. After all, here in sunny CA we woke up to 39 degrees at March Reserve Base area and got up to maybe 71 today. My GS went running to the door to see the snow. I said, it is not raining and it would need to be below freezing. LOL. So I went out and weeded.

What a great post!!!

I'm sooo outta sink - it being spring down here. And I haven't done much spring anything cuz nights are still hitting the low 30s!! But it's great to see all these fantastic fall decorations. Hardly anyone decorates for the seasons where I am - I don't know about other places in Oz.

You people are all so creative and inspiring!
Cait

Cait, you will have to start a new trend!
Folks here in my area always decorated for Christmas, but not much for other seasons. I used to marvel at the decs in Indiana for everything else. Now tho' there is a lot more going on locally, because more things are available from Hobby Lobby, Joanns and Michaels. Even Lowes and Home Depot. We garden junk folks never needed 'bought' stuff because we made our own, but most folks don't have our imagination!
I did go out and put a lighted pumpkin and a scarecrow up!
Thanks for the 'push'!

Here's mine! Doncha just love fall???

I keep coming back to this post and annielu wow!
Thanks for the great idea to decorate milkcans I have several just sitting around.Got to get busy you all have me beat 10 times over!
Do real spiders and snakes count as decorations?

Cool pics,everyone is so imaginative:) I bought 6 pots of mums,and set them in some rusty galvanized buckets,with a little scarecrow. I bought some faux pumpkins,but within a couple days, they were covered in mildew,so I tossed them ( bleach wouldn't take it off) next time I'll spray them with clear sealer! After all that,it rained on my mums,and the flowers died,and none of them have bloomed for over 2 weeks!

Love everyone's fall decorations...wish I could get in the mood to decorate myself.

My outside ones are in with my inside ones. More pics are in my album.

Our front porch and yard.

{{gwi:192984}}

{{gwi:192985}}

What fabulous fall decorating! I've just gotten a ton of ideas from this thread, now to carry them out. How I would love to have a front porch or an old wooden manure spreader. Here's a little something I did in front of my garden shed.

{{gwi:192987}}

I posted my pictures but they are too small. Can I do something now to be able to click on them to make them larger??? HELP

Thanks,
Linda

Linda,
I'm trying to see if I can make them bigger for you.

{{gwi:192989}}

Well, It didn't work. Sorry!!!

OK you all shamed me into doing something BIG! I have 2 and a half acres anything small is just piddly!I plan on doing more but here goes!I bought a headless mannequin Torso and a dress figure at a Thrift store that is going out of Biz. (8 and 10 dollars)Bought them clothes there for 50 cents each. Bought wig heads at a beauty store($3) and added the finishing touches.MY JUNK!

This is the front porch.The spiky thing my grandson made last Halloween!He took toothpicks and stuffed animal eyes(ripped thanks to dog play)and stuck them into an air yam.The air yam has sat there all year and sprouted! To those of you unfamiliar with air yams or air potatoes as they are sometimes called, you are LUCKY.They are a horribly invasive vine much like Kudzu.{{gwi:193001}}

do parade floats count?
here's three shots for the float I made for our local pumpkinfest.

it's made out of 95% reused or reclaimed material! AND... it won "Best Fall Theme"

Here is a link that might be useful: scavage garden float entry

Goldenpond, I am still chuckling over your clever fall scene. Love that mustache on your farmer! You did g-o-o-d!

Scavage, that float certainly deserved to win! It's great!

Geez...you guys are really good!! I'm jealous!

I haven't put anything out yet. Our weather is so goofy...one day it's fall...the next day it's summer...and then back to fall again. Evidently, summer will be back again tomorrow! (For joy!) My summer flowers are still too perky to replace. I'm not sure if I should be glad or sad! Actually...confused seems to describe me pretty accurately!

My son in-law suggested using Roundup on the flowers, but how do you kill perfectly pretty flowers. Guess I'll have to wait for fall...or just skip to winter! Somehow bright pink impatiens don't seem very Halloweeny! They clash with my pumpkins! lol

~Sandy~

Sandy,
The tree behind my scene is a weeping pink Hibiscus. To the side is a butterfly bed with lots of purple and reds and some pinks too.In Florida we even have pink poinsettias. I made sure my autumn silk flowers had a little pink and purple in them and all is well.
Just say NO To Round-up!
I forgot to mention I used pool noodles for my farmers legs and pipe insulation for their arms. Sure makes it easier than stuffing panty hose with straw!

All of these displays should be given the Blue Ribbon for Excellence in Fall Decorating. Clap, clap, clap!!!!

Sal

if we were voting on the best.or our favorite. why not? goldenpond gets my vote for the best yard decorations.

thanks craftylady for your sweet vote but it was all Y'alls decorations that prompted me! It is so great to see everyones creativity and take an idea or two ideas from each of you!
Happy Autumn wishes from Hot hazy Florida!

It always amazes me as to the beauty and variety of Fall displays. Just love all of your pictures and creativity.I have been using this section of fence and an old chair for different displays for all of the seasons.

{{gwi:193005}}

Alright!!!! You guys are the best. I just discovered this site and have been glued to it for the past couple of days. What a pleasure to see all the wonderful fall decorations, not to mention an inspiration. Ya'll have a great fall and I'll keep watching all the great things you are doing.

Ms. Faith

BIG WELCOME Ms Faith, glad you joined us. When I discovered this place, took me awhile to go thru all the archives and I was thoroughly hooked from the beginning.
Don't be shy, this group is great !!!

Karen

Wow! I come back to this thread SO OFTEN to get inspired! I want to comment on EVERYTHING but that would take up a whole other thread! Beautiful, inspiring creations everyone is doing! Just BEAUTIFUL! Recently, I took my family up to the orchards by us and saw all of the fall displays...and then I thought of my GardenWeb friends and their fantastic displays. Thanks for sharing your creativity, everyone! INSPIRING! Kirk

I agree with Kirk. They are all Totally awsome displays!!! Golden I think those are the best scarecrows I've ever seen. I love the displays with picket fences. I just love them all.
