A List of Autumn Essentials

Tuesday was our eighth wedding anniversary, and as I wrote on Instagram -- September 1st = fall in this house. I don’t care if the temperatures are still in the upper 80s, I can sense the crispness in the morning air and have been delighting at the very first falling leaves.

I haven’t done a shopping post in a while, but I enjoy them. If you have birthdays, housewarmings, back-to-school, or any other special occasions coming up, I hope you find this list of “fall essentials” helpful. And bring on the socks, sandals, and sweaters!
