Pinterest - the virtual Pinboard. By a show of hands, who has experienced Pinterest, and the unexpected addiction that comes with it? It's really a nifty idea, but I have found that my work productivity dropped significantly since I received my Pinterest invitation, and my craft/d-i-y project list grew exponentially. Truly, though, it's very convenient to collect links in one place, and I've recommended it to my clients with weddings coming up. This way they can save pictures of things that inspire them, which helps me to plan an event around their tastes. Fabulous.
I haven't been working on projects lately, though my list is growing. I'm in the middle of a couple of months off from event-planning, which has been beautiful. I've been systematically cleaning my house, and finished (yes, finished!) the laundry last weekend. But who really blogs about laundry and cleaning? {I'm only doing so to explain my bloggy absence.} So in lieu of another d-i-y post (recipe, craft or otherwise) I thought I'd walk you through one of my virtual pinboards (named Fallishness.) I'll site the original source where I can, but Pinterest doesn't always take you back where it came from, and sometimes the links are re-posts to begin with, and no source is sited. If you happen to know the original post for any of these, please share, because I would so love to credit the rightful owner.
Let's start with table decorations. How simple and delightful are these apple candle holders? Such a perfect little Autumny touch.

And speaking of apples, how about a whole bowl of apples turned centerpiece? My husband wouldn't hesitate to pick one off the pile as he walked by, and that would be just fine with a decoration like this. Who says practical can't also be beautiful?
Anything with hurricane lamps is ok in my book! I love these colors:
I fell in love with this simple project. Mason jars wrapped in twine, spray painted, then tied with a bow and illuminated with tea lights. Stunning!

Can I just tell you that I already have the paper purchased for this project? The world's cutest pumpkins, ladies and gentlemen.

It's dangerous for me to concentrate on fall food too much, however, I loved this pumpkin made from two bundts put together. On my pinboard, I called this a Pumpkindt.
A few unique pumpkin decorating ideas:

I can't help assuming that this is a home further South than mine, as our wood burner is already in action.

And finally, some glittery pumpkins.
