I'm a retired Montessori teacher and we used to make fall pumpkins using velvet, burlap, and other fall themed fabric wrapped around toilet paper rolls. So easy for toddlers. We used brown paper bags twisted to make the stems...just wrap rolls, tuck in fabric and place stem in hole. No sewing!! The parents loved them.
You have a true gift to inspire people, you are my inspiration, my will to change my house into a beautiful home…even though there’s a long way ahead of me… thank you xxx
I could not love your ideas here more!! I’ve watched this video so many times❤️ Fall is my favorite season. We moved from TN, where the weather was so perfect for fall decorating. Now, we are in SC at the beach and it’s very different weather for fall, much warmer. I’ll still be incorporating these ideas in fall ‘22. Thanks so much for being so incredibly inspiring, Sarah!!
For no sew velvet pumpkins take a large square of velvet (keep an eye out for velvet curtain panels at the thrift store) fill it with batting or an old pillow gather in the center making sure you catch all the edges. Take twine and tie very tightly at the top of your pumpkin. Leave a long tail of twine. A LONG tail. Wrap, wrap,wrap all the excess to form a stem. Tie off at the very top of the stem. I dress mine with thrifted necklaces in coordinating colors.
I plant in the mums in the ground and they come back in the Spring. This year I divided them and planted some of them in a galvanized tub. They did great.
I got 2 of the beautiful fall mums last year and once they bloomed I decided I’d just stick them in the ground and see if they would come back. They did and are huge!!! Definitely give it a try.
So classy, and even subtle. I appreciate that so much more than gaudy orange scarecrows and “Happy Fall Y’all” signage on everything. Personal preference, but I’m glad I’m not the only one. 😅
I love this video, love all things fall and all things She Holds Dearly. I have to admit it did make me chuckle a little bit to hear you say to decorate with firewood. However, I do love when it is that time of year and we have a stack by the fireplace.
And now that I think about it, my mother-in-law, whom I dearly miss, had a little stack of beautiful birch logs next to her fireplace when she no longer burned wood. It was very lovely.
I was shopping in Home Goods yesterday and every year, in the Fall they have English Brown Transfer Ware. This year it has pheasants and is just charming, if you need to add to your collection or want to start one get to Hone Goods, much easier than hoping you find some pieces that are nor chipped, cracked out in The Wild. I have always loved English and French Transfer Ware. Thanks For another delicious video ❤️👏❤️.
We live in Alaska, and are currently on the last day of a two week trip. Our house sitter told us yesterday that we had our first snow. We missed Fall completely! 😂
@@SheHoldsDearly She must be in the same area as us. We are just shy of the Arctic Circle and the trees. Halloween just isn’t as fun for the kids as it is elsewhere. At least we have year-around winter. 😉
Sarah, this video is charming, perfectly my style, and so timely! Thank you for putting this together! Would you consider making this same video for the Christmas season ahead? Love your taste! Have a lovely day.🌹
Mine too! I'm in the process of converting our 1970 lil quirky house into an English Cottage...so I am excited to find your channel! You've got yourself a new sub! It seems I've scoured TH-cam for cottage tubers and can't believe I'd never come upon your channel. Glad you commented here! 😉
Oh I loved this! [Even though I'm in Australia and it's Springtime.] I've watched it twice as there's so much to take in. I like that your suggestions, and what you show us, are not twee and fake looking, they're classy and timeless. Thank you Sarah.
There is a difference between garden and florist mums. Garden mums make underground rootstocks that make them able to survive from year to year. Florist mums are basically annuals.
I've been growing kale in a galvanized tub out in front of my porch and every time they get big enough to have a few leaves on them, something eats all of the leaves off. The lettuce did really good until they drowned from too much water (a couple of heavy downpours last month) and now I'm growing radish in the tub. So far, so good. We've gotten a few tomatoes off the sickly tomato vine and the cucumbers look like yellow golf-balls. The impatiens did wonderfully well. I think that's what I should plant in all the tubs next year. smile!
Enjoyed your video. Loved your suggestions for stuff around the house that you can re-imagine for decor. I agree that we don't need to run out and buy all kinds of things that say fall, pumpkins, to make your home autumn-cozy. I'll keep watching.
Like the idea of decorating with greys & browns with pops of copper. Ornamental Kale reminder and antlers was appreciated. Will look into your tutorials for the sweater pillows.
I have successfully overwintered mums (Ohio, zone 6) by planting them in whisky barrel planters. I cut them back when they dry up and cover with straw.
When do they start regrowing back? I’m new to Idaho zone 6 and I just planted 2 mums in the ground. Do they come back in spring? The garden center said they are perennial versions.
@@abiering Mine start growing again each spring. Mine are starting to bloom now, and they are a lot larger than when I first planted them. Just make sure to mulch them heavily at the beginning of winter. 😉
Would love to bring in items from my yard. I have a wooded lot so would have a lot to gather from. My question is what do you do to make sure you don’t bring bugs in?
I wonder if there is some sort of a natural bug repellant you could spray on them & then leave outside for a few days - I wouldn’t want to use something full of chemicals like Raid ! Maybe something vinegar based ? I’m gonna do some research !
It’s not a huge issue in WA, but I know it can be in the South. If its something that can’t be ruined, I would soak it in salt water. I know some people bake items on low in their ovens to do the same.
Two questions: 1). How do you store your faux flowers and Fall leaves? I've stored some in tubs and they smell horrible and it lingers. I've been using cardboard boxes more recently. 2).How can I get the horrible plastic tub combined with faux flowers smell out? Thank you!
I throw the leaves out each year and keep the faux flowers in buckets with plastic over them out in my shop. You will probably need to hand wash your flowers in the sink with some dish soap.

The Pinterest mini course was so worth it!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Get your mums planted as soon as you can and also I had luck planting them near foundation of my home where they had more protection from winter 🦋
I love that you bring up grey. I think its the most underrated fall color.

Beautiful decorations! What an inspiration, thanks! You look gorgeous in that rust color sweater 🤗
yes!!! easy peasy minimal no fuss, done!!!

Thank you for decor ideas that are natural and found in nature and not necessarily fueling decor hyper-consumption so prevalent on you tube.
You are so welcome!
Oh, my Lord.. You are so beautiful…Lovely video!!!🥰🥰🤗🤗❤️❤️
I love ornamantal kale and cabbage sooooo much! It's not fall for me until I have some either in pots or in the landscape, lol🍂🍁

Keep the Cottage coming, Sarah! This is beautiful! Thank you!
Chocolate brown is my favorite color. I have it all over my house all year long. Love it.
What pretty and practical ideas!

Love that "out in the Wild!"
@@deannaworm2365 Me too! 😂
Out in the Wild ! Ha ! I do sometimes feel like hunting & foraging describes it better than “thrifting” !
Those are all beautiful ideas for Fall. Thank you for the video that you did last year before I had discovered your channel.
You are so welcome!
I made a sweater pillow last year😊
Just adore the hues of color especially on the pumpkins
Love this video, Sarah. Thanks for sharing! I just cut my mums back as soon as they finish flowering and they grow back every year.
You look beautiful in this color!....your just beautiful anyway!
I appreciate that!
Always love your ideas.

Love to decorate for fall in these ways! Will be on the lookout for velvet to make me some pumpkins. I had a couple stems saved from a few years ago.

I’m Using some grey this year but my favorite thing to do is collect items from the forest
I found really cute bags of acorns at Hobby Lobby today!
Hooray!
You can get those gold acorns on Amazon!
Beautiful, as always, Sarah!
So many beautiful ideas! I am you bring in gray. I have lots of gray, so this will be an easy transition for Fall decorating.
Beautiful autumn decor. I love the English cottage style.
Great tips, Sarah🍂 I decorated with my Green, Hunter Boots on my porch this year 🍂
Love that!
Easy and loved these ideas!
Love your ideas, happy fall🍂
Hi Sarah! Love these ideas, so beautiful and cozy ♥️
I place the mums in my garden the next spring, but store them the first winter out of the cold against the house.
Great ideas for fall decorating

Happy Autumn! I love celebrating God’s beautiful seasons. (NOT Halloween.)
I feel the same way
Yeah… I feel the same…
Amen!
Love your channel!
Please tell us, again, where online you get your cream pompom pillows. Love their addition to the home. Thank you!
Yes - I just love them! rstyle.me/+B0X7_N8w7-QMWge9trdX2A
Mums…easy…after the flowers die back, cut off the dead blooms. Plant it in your garden and it’ll live and re-bloom next year.

Could you please tell me where you bought the lamp on your desk (behind you)? Thank you for sharing videos on English Cottage Style! I love it!!!
It was from IKEA, called the Barometer, I think! It looks like they might not have this one exactly anymore, but they have some that are similar!
Do you have any suggestions on where to purchase the feathers? I love your style and am looking for more intentional and natural ways to decorate
I bet you can find some on Etsy! :)
Stitch witch works well instead of sewing
Plant them..they are perennials
Put your acorns in the freezer first or you might end up with maggot looking worms crawling all over your receptacle.😫😫😫
