Sometimes it’s hard to remember that it’s Fall and nearing Winter in some parts of this great land, when you live in Florida, like we do, but indeed the weather forecaster brought me back to reality when he mentioned snow in the upper midwest and western coastal lands. Another hint of the Fall season is seeing those pumpkin patches springing up at the local churches and on the road sides, AND, the Halloween decorations sprucing up the yards…

If you want to be up to date and join in this Fall season’s decorating scheme, then you’ll likely want to include the following colors: orange hues, yellows, and green. Using corn/corn husks, pumpkins, vegetables, all those harvest related items, will carry you through not only Halloween, but also the Thanksgiving holiday. What a great time to focus on making your home even more cozy and casual with an emphasis on family, good food and good friends. Basically, you also want to emphasize the changing leaves and their beautiful colors, both outside and inside your home too.

Here are a few autumn home decor ideas available at http://www.giftsprings.com :

Did you know that you can personalize wind chimes? Have you ever thought about wind chimes making great gift ideas? If you’re a fan of wind chimes, you already appreciate the lovely melodies you can hear when the breeze drifts on by. But you might not have thought that wind chimes can really stand out as stand alone gifts. Nowadays you can match a person or occasion with novelty wind chimes with specific themes or you can buy personalized wind chimes with an engraving that expresses your sentiment and includes names and dates.

Then, not only do personalized wind chimes soothe the soul with their musical charm, but wind chimes also become meaningful with your special message to a gift recipient on the wind plate (that’s the thing in the middle that moves and bumps, causing the beautiful melodies when the breeze blows).

Did you know you can choose the shape of the wind plate on our personalized wind chimes as well? For example, you can get a house shape or a wedding bell or an angel, a dog… to help fit whatever occasion you need your gift for or to make them more suitable as a memorial gift, house warming or wedding gift…

Now the great news is — our Personalized Wind Chimes are available with FREE SHIPPING ONLY DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER! For more information about our wind chimes, browse the personalized wind chimes collection and take advantage of our free shipping special limited time offer before October 31st.

Use real or artificial plants as home decor accents that add impact and a fresh ambience to your room. You can use the plants strategically, too, to hide any ugly trouble spots in a room.

Live plants will work better if you are diligent in taking care of their watering and sun needs, while artificial plants work out best for folks that prefer a low maintenance alternative, or, for example, when decorating vacation homes or offices. (I almost wrote no maintenance, but, hey, once in a while you should dust off an artificial plant to keep it shiny and fresh looking, so let’s say it’s low maintenance.)

Giftsprings offers some flowering artificial plants that you might like.

Here are a few examples…

Orange roses

Roses and berries flower arrangement

Orchid in water glass vase

Lavender Roses in Rattan Cone
