Christmas 2022 {Acorn Cottage: Facade at Night}

 One of the things I love about the house this season is the newly added warm white lights along the roofline. Let's Get Lit, a local llighting company, stopped by in mid-November and switched the Halloween orange lights for the holiday white lights. I've wanted this for a long time and am so happy with the way it turned out.

I also added C7 lights to the trees and the garlands. I love the look of the large white bulbs.

I am a traditionalist when it comes to holiday decorating, so reds, greens, and golds fill the home and yard.

There is nothing prettier than white lights at Christmas time. I love when the lights come on at dark.

Thanksgiving 2022 {Acorn Cottage: Fall Facade}

 I shared my newest door hanger and the November porch, so today, I'll step back and share the facade and the front garden with you. On the windows I added two gold gilded magnolias. I love using these in the Fall. I purchased the wreaths years ago from Green Gates in Fairhope, AL. Pumpkin topiaries are placed here and there along with other stacks of pumpkins and gourds. Now, I just wish the weather would cooperate and start to feel like Fall.

O.M.Gourd, y'all!

Thanksgiving 2022 {Acorn Cottage: My Fall Front Porch}

 Yesterday, I shared my newest turkey doorhanger with you. Today, I'll share the rest of the front porch.

In the olive jar, I added corn stalks. I love the way the stalks look especially as they continue to dry. I removed the ghost from the front planter but left the array of differnt sized faux pumpkings until Thanksgiving. Other pumpkins and gourds are used as accents for November.

The Fall Porch, y'all!
