Here's a question for ya'll, how do you get your house to smell yummy WITHOUT using candles?
HOSS and Pipen waiting for breakfast this morning
My mums that DH surprised me with last night, It has been way to hot to pull weeds but this weekend is chore time!
My Scarecrow that DH came home with, He Welcomes you as you pull into the drive.
Fall wreath at the back door, We use the back door only now.
My bay window, pine cones..dried flowers.. pumpkin..smells good in this corner!
This pic didn't turn out great but I put orange lights on the mantle and little pumpkins on the sides of the Freedom sign.
Added this little Scarecrow Welcome sign to the telephone table.

Heather,
I have a lack of fall decorations too! I have very few...I think I've always poured my money more into Christmas decor! I won't have that much to put out either, but I think I'm going to visit Dollar Tree and see what I can find!
What you have out looks really nice. It kind of looks fallish here today...it looks overcast and windy out...makes me feel cozy in here!
Have a great day!

I don't have a lot of fall decorations either! I made a lot of stuff years ago but it was all cutesy country. Last fall I started making a few more Prim things and tried to Prim up a few of the oldies. A good holiday decoration collection takes time and we'll eventually be there, too :)
Love your little touches :)
It's been in the high 80's here all week, too.
Have a great day!
Don't feel bad. I don't have as many as i thought I did. Wanna come help decorate miy house when you get your's all done?
It took me many years to build up my collections a little at a time. And of course the bittersweet is free! LOL
It's mid 80's and humid here so it doesn't feel like fall at all.
I know what you mean with hot temps...it doesn't feel like Fall here and hard getting in the mood with the weather still feeling like Summer. I to have get my myself in gear and get my decorations out.
I like all your decorations so far. I am not sure how to get a house to smell good without candles. I use candles or the melts alot. If you do find out, let me know.
Have a great day...

I put spices in a litte saucepan and simmer for a while -- whole cloves (just a couple), cinnamon stick or even ground cinnamon or ginger, cardamom pods, and sometimes pieces of orange rind. Love it!
About making your house smell good without burnig candles? Try simmering cinnamon sticks, cloves and allspice in a pan of water on the stove. Just keep it turned way down and check on it to make sure the liquid hasn't evaporated completely out.
My Mama always did this, and I do it too. It makes the house smell wonderful!
Heather,
I dont have near enough fall decorations either. Like Tammy said mine goes into Christmas as well. Im so need some more fall.
I think your home is looking really good. I love the white pumpkins too.
To make my house smell without using tarts or candles, I use the roomsprays. I just love those.
I think you could use plug-ins. Bath &Bodyworks has some yummy ones. Also a room spray or oil that you either put into a ring on your lamp's lightbulb or rub right on the bulb itself. How's that for some sentence fragments?
