Hillhouse Naturals Gilded Pumpkin Candle
Whether the Gilded Pumpkin Candle is simply sitting on a table in your entryway or burning bright in the middle of your living room, this candle’s scent is sure to get you in the spirit for fall and make your home smell amazing. Also available in a gold mercury glass in two larger sizes: 13oz. for $36 and 18oz. for $40. (Photo from Hillhousenaturals.com.)

This 70″ x 50″ throw blanket from Mud Pie makes a great addition to your most comfortable arm chair or couch in preparation for the coming cooler weather.

Planters
Spruce up your front porch, deck, or balcony with a beautiful planter or two. We particularly love these Southern Patio Unearthed fiberglass planters from Home Depot ($69.98 for the 17 in. wide x 19 in. tall planter, $44.98 for the 16 in. wide x 11 in. high planter, homedepot.com; photo from homedepot.com).
Chyrsanthe”mums”
We agree with Longfellow’s Garden Center in Centertown, Missouri, when they say, “Nothing says fall like garden mums and pumpkins!” Check out their website for tips on how and when to plant your garden mums, which are great investments because not only are they beautiful but they come back year after year too! For mums near you, check out any local nursery and most hardware stores.
White Pumpkins
What goes better with the beautiful colors of fall than a few decorative white pumpkins? Check out this set of seven Assorted White Harvest Pumpkins ($25.49, factorydirectcraft.com), or visit HobbyLobby.com for a wide variety of white pumpkin décor. (Photo from factorydirectcraft.com.)
Leaf Rake with Large Comfort Grip
For many of us, fall also means long hours of leaf-raking when the season’s breath-taking colors inevitably cover our yards. For those of us who appreciate the practical side of things, check out this Cavex Series 32 in. Poly Leaf Rake with Large Comfort Grip ($17.94, homedepot.com). Why not add a bit of foam comfort to the handle of that rake you’ll soon find yourself using! (Photo from homedepot.com.)
Plaid Infinity Scarf
What fall favorites list would be complete without at least a mention of a scarf? Whether you’re accessorizing a t-shirt and jeans or a dress, this LOFT plaid infinity scarf (or any scarf, really) is the perfect addition to any fall outfit. Plus, it’ll help keep you nice and warm when the weather turns cool ($39.50, loft.com; photo from loft.com.)
Oversize Sweaters & Cardigans
With fall and the coming cooler temperatures, your favorite oversize sweater is just begging to be brought out of storage or out from the depths of your closet. Or, if it’s time to retire your well-worn sweater, check out this wide-cut knit sweater from H&M ($34.99, H&M; photo from www2.hm.com.)
PfitzSewSwell Maremma Leather Bag
Designed and hand-made by Katherine Pfitzinger in her home studio in Littleton, Colorado, PfitzSewSwell bags are one-of-a-kind works of art that are not only functional but also stylish and beautiful. Be sure to check out pfitzsewswell.com to learn more about the artist and her company. There are many styles to choose from, but one of our favorites is this Maremma bag in Camel ($229.00, pfitzsewswell.com; photo from pfitzsewswell.com).
Fall Footwear
Whether you prefer knee-high boots, loafers, ankle boots, sneakers, or platforms, a new season means an opportunity to bring out your favorite cool weather footwear that’s been in hiding for months. We particularly love this Maya Leather Chelsea Boot ($119.95, sperry.com). We also like this Steve Madden Mattis Mule, which comes in four colors: tan/black leopard fabric, cognac faux leather, black faux leather, and beige raffia ($54.99, dsw.com).
