Inspiring Fall Decorating Ideas and A Yummy Gingerbread Muffin Recipe

Hi, Primmies, everyone seems excited (and relieved from the heat of this summer) about the approaching Fall Season. I know I am. I'm peeping from the kitchen window several times daily to see what leaves are starting to turn. Our little baby maples' leaves have turned colors, isn't that funny? The big fellas I'm still waiting. It was early last year. Maybe this year,too.
So, I've website-hopped a little and here's some pretty ideas for decorating and a Gingerbread
Muffin recipe (who doesn't love gingerbread?)

That recipe looks so good and the presentation is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. I just found a bell cloche and I'm dying for the pumpkins and gourds to show up here in FL so I can decorate. Love that front porch too. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
