September is Here – and We’re Ready! (Saturday Spotlight)
Happy September and welcome to the Saturday Spotlight! Are you ready to move forward with this new month and almost-new season? Generally, I have a hard time saying goodbye to summer but these cooler nights are luring me towards fall. Even I’ll admit, there’s something exciting about this time of year. So, now that September is here, I’ve decided to highlight ways to embrace the new month!

September is here so let’s decorate:
Head into fall with some simple September decor ideas…
Last week, I shared my early fall decor ideas for the kitchen.
Like previous years, I’m taking my time to transition from summer to fall. Just a few hydrangeas, apples and pears…to slowly ease my way into autumn. If you’re like me, you tend to keep your September decorating very subtle. After all, there’s plenty of time to go crazy with pumpkins in October!
Simple Ways to Set the Table this September:
With all the natural elements available this time of year, it’s pretty easy to set a fall table. Here are 5 fall table ideas you can try!
Whether you’re decorating in September, October or even November, any of these fall table settings would work!

I’m trying to be excited about fall coming! I love it, but I never want summer to end. The fall cocktails look tasty, and I love your natural elements table settings.
Thanks so much Amy! Yes, I know how you feel! I’m always heartbroken when summer ends but I also want my kids back in school full time so they can feel normal again! Have a great week!
Hello, dear Shelly!! I love all your Fall inspiration! I hope that you had a great Summer.
Thanks my friend! I hope you enjoyed your summer as well!
Some great ideas. I am such a summer person and so I have to be dragged kicking and screaming into fall. Laura
Thanks Laura! I’m usually right there with you kicking and screaming but this year, I’m excited for my kids to get back to school full time. They really need some normalcy. Having said that, I’ll be outside enjoying the sunshine as long as possible!
Thanks so much Shelley! Great tips! I’m having trouble letting go of summer too and I think maybe it’s because I felt like I lost the summer in 2020. All the cancelled trips and outings that I’ve tried to cram in to this year and there just isn’t enough time! I’ve started a few fall projects though and this post is inspiring me to get busy. Thanks again and have a great week.
Thanks Denise. Yes, you’re right. We did lose 2020…and 2021 in a way too. We still haven’t really traveled so I hope things get back to normal as soon as possible!
Thanks for shaing your ideas….fall is coming very soon!
Thanks – yes, it sure is!
