Fall Decorating!

I thought that you all might like to see some of my fall decorations!  This is one of my favorite seasons to decorate for, as you will see...

 This is right outside of our door

 The Mantel

 I finally was able to find inexpensive platter holders and I hung my Currier and Ives serving platters above the microwave table

 The kitchen table

This is the desk that sits in our hallway.  I am definitely the most proud of the desk.  Who would think that tea towels could make such a cute table cover?

How is everyone's Fall decorating going?
