During the month of October, I did some fall-shopping with my friends and family in Chester, New Jersey. From the different farms we visited to the cozy stores we perused through, I can confidently say that I've gathered an ample amount of autumnal decor! Now that I have a new desk, I thought it only proper to spruce up my work space with fall-inspired pieces.
MY FAVORITE DECOR:
- Red Mason Jar
 |
One of my favorite purchases was the mason jar with its drawing of pumpkins and dark red color that reminded me of tomato basil soup. Using it as a vase, I filled it with fake leaves and flowers from Hobby Lobby, along with an electric candle that I bought from the store, "Decor8". I was intrigued by the way the candle was covered with actual wax, and wanted to get one in light orange, the same shade as pumpkins.
- Teepee Model

Another special decor piece is the teepee model from Joann's Fabric that reminded me of my childhood. Living close to the woods, my sisters and I would often go and build our own teepees out of sticks, tarps and leaves. I knew I had to bring the little figurine home, so I could place it on my desk and be reminded of the fond memories made from my youth.
- Spiced Apple
Also from the store, Decor8, is a "Spiced Apple" sewn with red fabric and white flower patterns. Reading off the label, it is an apple replica "filled with real spices to add a warm, old fashioned scent to your home..." If you take a good sniff of it, there are some hints of cinnamon and cloves!
- Cinnamon-Apple Scented Candle
Speaking of cinnamon and cloves, I found the perfect fall-scented candle to last me the whole season, called "Apple Brown Betty" (sounds kind of country which I like!) From the moment I smelled the blend of oven-baked apples and cinnamon spice, I knew it was the one to take home. As a mason jar lover, I also admired the tinted jar it came in that made it easier to hold and seal shut when not using.

- Orange String Lights
From the same store that I purchased the candle, I also bought some string lights to wrap around my computer. The orange glow of the lights remind me of jack o'lanterns, so it adds a little bit of Halloween into my fall decor!
- Pumpkins
As for the pumpkins (which are must-haves if decorating for fall!), I got the petite one at Stony Hill Farms and the bigger one at Alstede Farms. That way, both farms are treated equally (lol, just kidding...)
I had fun getting to decorate my new workspace during my favorite time of the year. I hope that by sharing my fall-inspired pieces, you get some inspiration for decorating around the house this season!
