PSA: FALL DECORATING SEASON IS NOT “COMING.” IT’S HERE. 🍂🎃
And somehow Halloween is already sitting over there like, Hi. See you in 50 days. 😂
Which means if a new wreath, swag or arrangement is part of your fall plans, now is the time to grab it or get on my custom list.
My design table is officially covered in all things fall and Halloween, and I have SO much to work with this year.
Traditional fall. 🍂
Moody fall. 🖤
Pretty neutrals. 🤍
Pink, blue, sage, burgundy, leopard, buffalo check.
Cute Halloween. 🎃
A little spooky. 👻
Or something completely different because you know I love a good challenge.
Custom orders are OPEN, and this is my favorite part...taking all these colors, textures, ribbons, florals and random little pieces and turning them into something made specifically for YOUR space.
I also have a few finished Halloween wreaths and swags available right now for local pickup or shipping.
But don't wait until you're pulling the pumpkins out of storage and suddenly realize your front door is naked. 😂
Fall is here. Halloween is coming FAST. And my design calendar is officially filling. 🧡

She gave me her colors and one request...

Something she could enjoy YEAR-ROUND. 💙💜

No holiday.
No particular season.
Just blues, purples and something pretty for her door.

And this is what came together in my workshop. 😍

One of my favorite parts of custom work is taking somebody’s colors and creating something specifically for THEIR home.

You don’t have to know exactly what you want before you message me, either. Give me your colors, tell me where it’s going, and we can figure out the rest together. ❤️

Custom orders are always welcome.

There are some messages I will NEVER get tired of getting. 🩷
“That’s perfect.”
“OMG I LOVE IT!”
“It’s absolutely gorgeous!”
“Can I pick it up this afternoon?”
Whether it comes from someone hundreds of miles away who found me on Etsy or someone right here locally, seeing that message after I've created something for them is still one of my absolute favorite parts of this business.
I LOVE my Etsy customers. The fact that things I create right here in Indiana end up in homes all over the country is pretty freaking cool.
But I also LOVE being able to offer PORCH PICKUP for my local customers. 🙌
See something I've already made? Claim it.
Want something completely different? Message me and we'll create it.
When it's ready, I'll bag it, label it and have it waiting on my porch when you're ready to pick it up. And yes, the porch is covered by my Ring security system, so your order is watched over until you get here. 😉
No shipping. No giant box. No waiting on a delivery truck.
Just grab your new pretty thing and go. 😂🩷
And whether it's something for your front door, your table, your Christmas tree, a special occasion, a gift or something completely custom, you're trusting me to make something that becomes part of your home and your life.
That means a lot to me.
So to every person who has ordered, reordered, left a review, recommended my work, sent me a picture, tagged my page or trusted me with a custom idea...
THANK YOU. 🩷🧡

My decorator brain AND my creator brain have been BUSY today. 😂🍂
What you see on my laptop right now is FALL.
I'm planning an entirely new color palette for my own home, and this year I'm bringing you along for more than the finished pictures.
You'll see me CREATE it and DECORATE it.
Doors. Mantle. Porch urns. Lanterns. Centerpieces. Table accents. Front porch. Deck.
Basically... nothing is safe. 😂🍂
Meanwhile, my business brain is already looking ahead to Christmas 2026. 👀🎄
I'm researching what's trending and what my customers may want for new inventory and custom designs. Traditional red, green + white, rich burgundies, metallics, icy neutrals, natural elements, statement ribbon, whimsical and nostalgic Christmas... there is SO much to work with this year. 😍
And remember, your Christmas doesn't have to look like MY Christmas. That's the beauty of custom design.
I also offer HOLIDAY HOME INSTALLATIONS for all major holidays, from doors and mantles to porches, urns, lanterns, centerpieces and all those finishing touches.
And while I'm making room for what's coming next...
ALL current Christmas inventory has been DRASTICALLY marked down. 👀🎄
Fall is about to take over my house.
Christmas 2026 is already taking over my brain. 😉😂

🍂 2026 FALL IS GETTING A WHOLE NEW LOOK. 🍂
And I am OBSESSED with where this is going. 😍
I’ve officially chosen my 2026 fall color palette, and while I’ll always love traditional fall, this year I’m giving it a little twist.
🌿 Soft sage + eucalyptus
🎃 Warm pumpkin + burnt orange
🤍 Cream + ivory
🤎 Natural woods + earthy textures
Still FALL.
Still warm and cozy.
Just softer, fresher and a little unexpected.
And apparently I’m not the only one loving this direction. Muted greens, earthy oranges, warm neutrals and nature-inspired tones are showing up all over fall decor this year, and I am HERE FOR IT.
This is just a sneak peek because I already have ideas flying around in my head for wreaths, centerpieces, porch pieces and more. 😏
And yes...
CUSTOM FALL ORDERS ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN. 🍂
You do NOT have to choose my palette. Traditional orange, burgundy, neutrals, jewel tones, something completely different...your house, your colors.
But if you love this sage + pumpkin combination as much as I do, you might want to claim yours early. 👀
Fall is about to get REALLY pretty around here. 🧡🌿

So apparently I’m somewhere between 50% and 75%. 😂🍂
My patriotic decor is staying put until after Labor Day. I said what I said. 🇺🇸
BUUUUUTTTT…
I already chose my 2026 fall color palette, and I may or may not have been picking up some new decor pieces to go with it. 👀😂
So no, the pumpkins aren’t out yet.
But am I mentally decorating?
Absolutely.
Where are YOU on the fall-ready scale? Drop your percentage below. 👇🍂
And since I know some of you are already at 100%… I’ve got finished fall floral pieces ready for homes now, and I’m taking custom fall orders too. 🧡
See something you love? Message me before somebody else claims it.
Want something made specifically for YOUR fall colors? That’s my favorite kind of order. 😏
