Last Friday marked the 'official' first day of fall. Now, I can tell you that having lived in GA the last 5 years this day meant absolutely nothing when it came to the weather. Because in the south you don't really have a true spring or fall. It stays pretty warm hot through October (at least).
But here in WA...fall is definitely in the air along with all of the wonderful things that go with it. Crisp mornings, shorter days, leaves just beginning to change colors, pumpkins, apples, baking, pumpkin spice candles, pumpkin muffins (or any muffins for that matter!), Halloween costume shopping, sweaters & sweatshirts, and inevitably the countdown to Christmas :)
Bring on the sweatshirts, this is my time of year!
And for the giveaway...
Apparently my brain is not functioning properly. Because, I purchased not one but 2 of these magazines:
I guess I liked the cover so much that I noticed it not once but twice! Anyway, I thought I'd share my extra one with one of my readers :) There's some cute stuff in there including a mini-album from Ali Edwards. So if you'd like a chance to win, just leave a comment & I'll pick someone at random. This giveaway is open to anyone but if you live outside of the U.S. I will ask that you pay for shipping. Sorry :(
I'll leave it open til Sunday afternoon. And maybe you could share what your favorite thing about fall is :)

Love your pumpkin pictures! My favorite thing about fall is EVERYTHING! There is no other season like it! The clothes, the smells, the food, the colors, the air.....LOVE it!
Oh, I'm so jealous! I love a true Fall - the cooler weather, changing leaves, etc. I'm in Bham, AL and it has been cooler - highs of 85 degrees instead of 95 degrees! :)
Thank you for sharing because I love the cover to and can only imagine all the inspiration inside! Oh, and my favorite things about fall are the weather- the feel of the cool wind, the sound of crunching leaves, and the taste of salted carmel hot chocolate from Starbucks-yumm!
Thanks for the chance to win. My favorite thing about fall is pumpkin flavored anything. I'm in Arizona, so it's not exactly fall weather here, yet... but this girl can hope!
I love pumpkin muffins, they are my favorite! I heard there is a shortage of pumpkins (has anyone else heard this?) and that is why there are never any cans in my grocery store. As soon as I see any I buy them all. Thanks for the chance to win the magazine.
I have that issue too. I love fall. Living in the upper midwest, fall is just as you described. I too love the fall colors, apple picking, etc. The downside.. winter is around the corner. We get snow in October. Fall is very very short and winter here is very very LONG!!
Definitely my favorite time of the year too! Anything with a can of pumpkin in it gets my vote for favorite fall things and of course all the beautiful fall colors!
I love the pretty colors in fall! My boyfriend lives in an older neighbourhood, the kind with big trees that arch over the narrow roads. When the leaves fall the streets are yellow from curb to curb. I can't wait to go and take some pictures there this year!
Love baking pumpkin pies from our hallowen pumpkins with my best friend. thanks for the chance to win.....
Was that a red leaf in your photo? Unless I spray paint one, it's not happening here!! I just saw Pumpkin Spice Hershey kisses today and thought of you!!
