Inspirations can come from anywhere and anything, they tie together all the little loose pieces and ideas, bring out creativity, and help to motivate and guide you. The images for this autumn inspiration board came together from places I recently visited, things I have around the house, and what I’ve been thinking about.

A fun way to highlight the fall season and welcome guests into your home with these adorable apple votives!
The fall season is definitely here, the mornings have been cool and foggy while the afternoons still feel like summer. With the change in the weather, I’ve been thinking more about cozy things and comfort food. At the beginning of the week I made our favorite Salmon Chowder followed by Chicken Rice Soup, and ended the week with Beef Stroganoff. The one thing we’ve been enjoying almost everyday for breakfast and for snacks is Homemade Granola!

Decorating with wreaths is a wonderful way to welcome guests into your home. It’s also a great way to show off the beauty of the season or to announce a special occasion.
Today I will be sharing two autumn wreath ideas with you. This came about from a recent cleaning and gathering of old wire hangers that found their way into the different parts of my house. I noticed the color variations on some of the hangers, almost copper-like. I took one of the hangers apart and bent the wire into a circle then twisted the two ends around each other to make a wreath form. It was sturdy and it held the shape well when branches were added. The copper/gold tone on the wire also blended nicely with the branches. This simple wreath became the inspiration for the autumn wreath drawing {above}.

I converted the wreath image into two different sizes. The small image was made into printable gift tags. I used one of the tags to tie on a gift package in a recent blog post, Welcoming the Autumn Season.
