With all the rain we’ve had in the northeast this summer, I’m hoping for some beautiful fall foliage!  Although, anytime in Vermont is beautiful.

Years ago, I spent a fall weekend with friends in the charming city of Charleston, South Carolina…

With the cooler temperatures, fall ended up being the perfect time to go.  If you haven’t visited Charleston yet, I recommend you add that to your bucket list!

  1. Yes, fall is officially here! I just followed the Yankee Magazine Instagram page that you featured – I’m determined to get to New England this year. Happy autumn!

    1. New England is the best! I love everything Yankee Magazine shares on IG – and I subscribe to their magazine as well. I find it so relaxing to page through! Happy Fall!

  2. Fall is definitely here in New England, trees are just starting to turn colors and our days and nights are much cooler. So far I have decorated the house and bought most of the supplies to make apple pies (just need to get to the orchard to pick some apples!). We have at least one mini trip planned to Vermont also to get some hiking in and hopefully see some more foliage.

    1. Fall in New England is the BEST! Enjoy your time in VT! I hope to get up there to see the foliage this year. It can be hard to time it just right. Enjoy!

  3. We finally had a cool day yesterday and hopefully today but fall is here! I’m looking forward to seeing the leaves change, baking and I just learned from My Hubbard Home how to take care of my mums since they already look like they’re dying. :/ Thanks for the inspo and for linking up on Farmhouse Friday!
