Light and Bright Fall Living Room
Happy Fall friends!! I’m popping in for a quick hello to share a bit of Fall here at the cottage. The air is changing and though we’ve been having some of the most glorious weather… the mornings are getting a little bite to them, as are the evenings. But the days? They are something to savor. September & October are so much an extension of Summer in my mind. Because sunshine, and no rain = Summer to me!










COMING NEXT WEEK: I’ve got a easy to copy tablescape & the mantel to share on Monday… and the kitchen & sun room on Wednesday. Shoot… next thing you know it’ll be Halloween, and then the big two. Thanksgiving & Christmas. I don’t know where the years go? It feels like we just did all this and were talking about “2017”. I do know, that I am thankful for your visits and friendships. There are a lot of blogs out there… and I appreciate you spending some of your time to read mine, and especially value your comments. xo, Shannon

VINTAGE COTTAGE FALL PORCH
I SPILLED ALL THE GUEST BEDROOM DETAILS

I love seeing how you beautify your spaces with seasonal decor. The pumpkin rag doll is precious!…Had to laugh at your pillow count…I know someone who just may have that many! Great use of the baskets in the room for the warmth and texture you have achieved so well, yet keeping it so light and bright…Great balance!
Happy Fall Shannon!
Hello dear Shirley, thank you so much! It’s scary when I joke about pillows… and I’m not joking. hahaha. Whoops.
I suppose there are worse things, right? Happiest of Fall seasons to you!!
I’m with you on extending Summer, Shannon!
I keep waking up and thinking, ‘It just CAN”T be fall already.” Usually I am ready to get those totes out of the basement and start redecorating with the darker, vivid colors of autumn. But this year I am not. I LOVE your living room in this post, and what you have done with it! There is plenty of time for Autumn (later). I try to keep it “fall” until Dec. 1st at Blue Willow Cottage! That gives me plenty of time to add touches week to week.
Thank you for letting your readers know where you obtained the “goodies” you use to beautify Fox Hollow Cottage. Your blog is unique, enjoyable, and I am quite addicted to your posts and style! Keep on keepin’ on, PLEASE!
Your friend in Pennsylvania,

It’s sunny again today… so still Summer in my heart! It rained on Sunday… and I realized I really, reallllly was not ready. I’m clinging to every sunny day like it’s a lifeline.
Thank you so very much for the extra lovely comment. I love visiting with you all, and hearing your thoughts and perspectives!! ~ Shannon
Love your simplicity, everything is so beautiful. We are in the process of remodeling our house and I am going for simplicity as well. I am not near as good as putting things together as you are so I may steal some of your ideas if you don’t mind. Thank you for sharing!
Oh remodeling is so exciting. Feel free to steal anything you like, it’s why I share 🙂
And I am always trying to improve. Practice in decorating is like anything else, and I think I’ve gotten better in there years I’ve been blogging. I know this, because when I see my first pictures, I cringe! LOL – So keep working that decorating muscle 🙂
Love your pillows. It have a question, where do store them? I have mine stuff wherever there is room
Oh well that is a bit of a problem…. lol
I have them on shelves in a little walk in closet, but I am overflowing.
I need to get rid of some and get them under control.
They are surely my weakness.
I enjoy your blog and want to thank you. Where I live it is Thanksgiving Weekend!
Well Happy Thanksgiving to you up there in Canada 🙂
I wish you a blessed holiday and beautiful weather for it!
I find myself in the same lack of pillows for fall situation, which is unbelievable for me too. Love the gobble till you wobble one! That’s really cute. Thanksgiving is this weekend for us in Canada, so I’m combing the stores for a couple of orange ones. I’m not normally that fond of orange, but most of my house is in shades of blue, and looking at your blog, and others, I’m realizing how well orange goes with blue. So, thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving 🙂 Wishing you luck. I didn’t have any. The one set I liked was $49.99 per pillow, and that wasn’t going to happen. lol
I love blue and orange together! Hope you find some 🙂
Ahhh Shannon it is all so light, bright and beautiful. Love that squirrel candy dish adorable!
Happy Saturday. Have a great weekend.
Kris
I am a sucker for the little animal things. I don’t know why, but I just love that stuff.
Thank you Kris! Happy weekend 🙂
