«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 436 Newer› Newest»My favorite things about Fall are new school supplies, pumpkin bread and spiced cider!
Sweaters, cute jeans, boots, jewlery, pumpkins, rustic decor, warm soup and birds. Oh, and no mosquoitos
My favorite thing about this fall is new beginnings. I just started graduate school so I am excited what this first semester will hold. It is a new chapter. In general, I love the cooler weather of the fall. There is something that is so beautiful about the feeling in the air during the fall, you can feel it coming. Fall is my favorite time of year, especially when you are in a part of the country that the leaves are amazingly beautiful.
Love the necklace and I love the pic of the boys from the previous post at the candy store...
Fall is my favorite season hands down, I have a hard time narrowing down my favorite thing because it is so many things combined, the cool crisp morning isn't the same without the smell of the leaves.
So I'll go for unique. The sound of Jerry Allen calling the UO Ducks football games. He has been doing it for as long as I can remember and the sound instantly feels like fall and football. GO DUCKS!

i love watching the pumpkins turn from green to orange, the smell of fall leaves burning and our local vineyard's harvest party...complete with grape stomping for their "little feet merlot" (made of course, by little feet)
It's hard to choose just one favorite thing about fall, but Buckeye Saturdays on the campus of Ohio State are unparalleled!
I love fall! The brisk change of the weather, the fresh apples (hello avila valley barn!), the smell of smoke from burning leaves or fireplaces getting started--give it all to me! It also feels like the perfect time for "nesting". I make more hearty meals, read inside more, and start to decorate my house for the seasons. Fall also reminds me that I get to see family soon. That is one of the best parts!
Fall to me means Family. The summer seems so rushed trying to cram so much in (I live in Canada so the warm weather goes fast!). We seem to slow down and enjoy ourselves as a family more in the fall. Organizing the children for school, spending as much time outdoors together before the snow starts to fly, planning for Halloween costumes. Baking family favorite dishes with the seasonal bounty, apples & pumpkins. Enjoying a 26 year tradition with friends to attend a local fall fair followed by a potluck dinner for 60+ plus people. Really stopping to be thankful for all that we have. Enjoying the beauty all around us.
My favorite thing about fall is when the leaves turn colors. It was especially beautiful when I was living in Boston,MA. The trees would grow so tall and cover the roads, so when you went on walks it would feel as if you were walking through a colorful tunnel. I could walk forever looking at the beauty. Those are fond memories.
this necklace design is simply gorgeous!
my favorite part of the fall season is the return of starbucks' pumpkin spice latte! even though it stays unseasonably warm here in texas, sipping on one of these lattes takes me right back to the hills of tennessee. i can feel the crisp breeze and see the beautiful leaves changing already!
My new favorite thing about fall is that my 2 1/2 year old son ( who just started talking a mile a minute) told me the other day that he wanted to be "Woody" from Toy Story for Halloween. This year the holidays will be amazing for us, I can feel it!
you are so popular!!! and famous :) My most favorite thing about fall is Apples... Caramel Apples! You inspired me to Blog this morning. xoxo
LOL--Giving something away is a GREAT way to be inundated with comments, isn't it?
Well, I could probably find a way to wax poetic about changing leaves or the beauty of schoolchildren returning to their houses of learning...but to be honest, my favorite thing about fall is that the heat and humidity start to abate! Aaah, the pleasure of being able to go outside without sweating. That's what I like!
There is nothing more exquisite than a harvest moon. To see the fiery globe start rising out of the east and floating over the dark stillness is my favorite thing about autumn.
the smell, apple orchards, leaves falling and crunching under your feet, cool nights and warm blankets as you let the wind blow through your window, bonfires, hikes through colorful woods.
cool crisp days; hazy, golden sunlight; slight smell of smoke in the air; a favorite sweater; and a big pot of stew or chili for dinner
There are SO many things about Fall that I love! First is that it is my wedding anniversary! Oct. 11th. I love the colors, the food, the weather....rainy and dreary makes me feel cozy and want to snuggle with my family, AND it is the start of the holidays!!! There is not one thing I do NOT love about Fall. Thank you for the giveaway! You are too kind!
Warmly,
Leslie G.
Warm clothes! Scarves, hats, sweaters, SOCKS! I love the chill on my cheeks when I go walking and the hazy sunrise. Oh, who am I kidding, there's WAY TOO MANY things I love about Fall.
I love being able to fire up my hearth and cook my roasts and fowl on it:-)
Fall is my favorite season! I love everything about it but right now I'd have to say the crisp fall air - 60's and 50's - is the best!
I love the cool nights, a great reason to curl up with hot chocolate and watch a movie, with Troy of course:-)
crisp autumn mornings, the changing leaves and I can get out my black turtleneck and pair it with my fav blue jeans!
The smell!! That's what i like most. And second the evenings! Its getting dark earlier and i like to egt cosy on the sofa with a cup of tea.
Love Heidi
**Falling*** in Love! It's when my husband and I fell in love and got married. Every year we return to Monticello, where we spent our honeymoon, which is beautiful in the fall...and we fall in love all over again!
The crisp air the turning of leaves - I am so thankful I will be in Chattanooga this fall - I love fall in the south, especially in the mountains.
Fall is my favorite season. By the time it comes, after the long, hot days of summer, I'm so ready for it. I love football, Halloween, and Thanksgiving...all family times. I love the color of the leaves and flowers, and the crispness of the air. Thanks for the giveaway. It's beautiful.
College football-- GO BUCKS!!!
Fall is my favorite season, so there's so many things that I love about it. I especially enjoy baking desserts with pumpkin and apples!
Thanks!

Because I live in Arizona, my favorite part of fall is the cooler weather. Being outside without dying of heat.
Fall has always been my favorite season. There is an ambience about fall that is just intoxicating. Just as I am getting restless with the heat of the summer, fall comes and brings a much needed change. The cool crisp weather and pulling on a cozy sweater for the first time,the way the aspen trees turn gold and almost sparkle here in Colorado, a warm cup of apple cider, rosy cheeked children playing in the piles of leaves, pumpkins adorning all of the front porches, the sound of football games in the background on the weekends, and a day to give thanks for family, friends, and all of our blessings. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to reflect on all of these "litte things".
Fall for me is the smell of chimney smoke and a slight chill in the air. The promise of the holiday's coming as well..... so much excitement surrounds our children during this time! I love it!
My favorite things: Hand holding while pumpkin picking, taking pictures while pumpkin carving, and rejoicing along side three little ones while they beam with pride.
My favorite thing about fall is getting my jeans out again. But I live in South TX - it will be a while until fall hits here. I love the back-to-school crayons and getting organized. It seems even crazy to hope I could win this necklace. But I hope. I love your jewelry. Simply perfect! Kim
Fall just smells different than the other seasons. It's a scent I can't quite put my finger on, but I love it! My dd asked me the other day when it was a beautiful, although unseasonable, 63 degrees, "Mom, do you smell the fall?"
What a beautiful necklace! My favorite things about fall are the crisp air, the smell of burning leaves, going to the pumpkin patch, and sitting by firepits with family and friends.
I love... new season, new beginnings. Summer is gone, and fall is sort of a start over. How the wind blows and it has that bite in it, I love the first frost, pumpkins turning orange, and that excitement leading up to Halloween.
Unfortunately, I have a daughter who has a compromised immune system so it also means germs and a winter of being home bound. I'm trying only to concentrate on the good things this year!
Every fall my mother goes on an annual three week business trip that is always out of the country. For three weeks she is gone and I am completely unable to contact her...no emails, no phone calls, no visits. For three weeks I don't hear her voice. My favorite thing about fall is the exact moment that I walk into my parent's home, the third week of September every year, and HUG my mom! I'm 38 years old and my mother's hugs still warm my heart.
I love the chill in the air and the change of wardrobe and foods.
I love seeing frost ice the ground and wearing a jacket, yet just a few hours later seeing the green grass again and having to change into short sleeves.
I love the way the fields turn golden and the corn stalks make their way from the field to front porches to stand alongside a strawbale and few pumpkins.
I love harvesting all of the produce from the garden and bottling it so as to preserve as much of summer as I can.
In short, I love everything about autumn!
The things I love about Fall are the colorful leaves, the crisp clean air, and spending time with family on the holidays.
Oh how fun! My favorite things about Fall...
The crisp smell of the air
The brightness in the blue of the sky
Cinnamon Sticks embraced by apple cider, poking out of mugs
The sound of crunching leaves
Opening memories in the packed away sweaters
The COLORS!
Outdoor fires with friends
Pendleton blankets =) to go with the outdoor fire & around friends
The smell of roasted chicken with root veggies...mmmmm, such a yummy Fall dinner
How absolutely gorgeous that necklace will look peeking out from behind a crimson colored scarf! Love your talent!
I love so many things about fall. It's my favorite season. I love the smells of apple and cinnamon and pumpkin. I love the crispness of the air and the excitement of holidays just around the corner. I love fires in the fireplace and snuggling on the sofa with a good book.
My favorite thing about fall....
Walking outside on a cool night and smelling a bonfire or the someone burning their leaves (we used to live in the country and would smell this often).
My new favorite thing about fall is watching my son play football. He really struggles in school so it's so nice to see him excel at something and be proud of himself. Seeing him smile big all the way in the stands makes me smile.
My favorite thing about fall is the feel of the air! And how the scents change. As soon as that subtle nip makes its first appearance I am giddy with snuggly thoughts and blankies and cardigans and recipes...I truly love fall!!
I love the colors, the lack of intense heat, and wearing sweatshirts!
I love the bird...by far a favorite. Ah, fall...I guess I have to say the autumn colors...mustard yellows, browns, oranges and cranberry colors everywhere, from latte's (pumpkin orange) to anthropologie (yellow sweaters) to acorns falling (brownish)
Fall is my favorite season for so many reasons. When I was small much of it had to do with the return of cooler weather and the return to school. As I've grown older it is the fact that fall reminds us of the briefness and wonder of life with a clarity that is startling.
Crisp blue skies and breezes with a sharp edge cool down the dusty dry heat of summer and gentle the drought colored tan of burnt grass to a faded tan that is restful and combines beautifully with the leaves that begin to turn yellow, red, orange, and even bronze.
The incessant song of crickets, which E.B. White rights about so eloquently in Charlotte's Web, is a beautiful and haunting tribute to the over-zealous fertility of summer and reminds us that soon it will freeze and the leaves will drop from the trees and we will be left with the etchings of branches against the sky.
The smell of decaying leaves on wet rainy days drifts on chance drafts and breezes and freshens the air with the spiciness of cinnamon.
On wet rainy days the earth begins absorbing resources to save until spring. I love the chill winds on those rainy days and the quietness of winter that begins to invade the outdoors as people begin to spend more time inside, allowing those who like to be outside the space to feel wildness again even if they do live in the suburbs.
Fall gives me the chance to wear jeans, and sweaters, and socks with sturdy shoes. Allows me to feel snug and to hide my inhibitions under clothes.
The wedges of geese flying over calling out to each other always haunt me with their lonely wildness. The drifts of blackbirds gathered under trees, in trees, on wires that swirl up like leaves on a gust of wind thrill me.
There is so much in the turning of fall into winter that calls to the soul. What isn't there to like.
Long pants, warm sweaters and pink cheeks on my kiddos!
Cream of pumpkin soup.
Fall...i love the smell, colors, textures. So many things Getting gourds, corn etc. to decorate the home with... I love fall!
fall weather tells me that halloween is near!
Fall seems relaxed and crisp and leisurely after the blazing heat of summer. I can fling open the windows or head out for a lovely afternoon walk. I can enjoy the smells of pumpkins and apples and spices. I can celebrate the many fall birthdays in our family, including my own, and look forward to my favorite holidays, Halloween and Thanksgiving.
Fall always makes me think of apple picking. Every year growing up my family would all bundle up and head out to a nearby apple orchard. We'd laugh and climb trees and enjoy the fresh fall air. Apple cider, apple pie, apple donuts, apple crisps, apple dumplings. These things are fall to me. I've continued the tradition with my own family and can't wait to get out to the orchard this year.
The thing I like most about fall is being able to wear nice, warm sweatshirts and fleece. That, and enjoying the colors of the season and wishing I could capture them in my card making.
Ok...so here is the thing, I know lots of people say their favorite thing about fall is the changing of the leaves. And it is also mine. But, it goes deeper than the leaves. The first year I moved to Indiana from New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina, I was driving down the street ( a few weeks after the move) and put the car into a complete stop. There is a tree on this one local street that is huge. The color is like the color of fire with its mix of reds, oranges, and yellows. When I looked at it I knew that there had to be a God, because only he could make something so stunningly perfect and beautiful. It blooms every year and every year I have to stop. I see it every morning on the way to work and it just makes me smile. Living in New Orleans for 28 years and never experiencing fall, I now know what I have been missing out on. I also experienced my first real "you pick" pumpkin patch and had my first taste of apple cider. I have to say, I am a much nicer person during the fall season! God Bless!
My favorite thing about Fall is the way my house feels. More than any other season, in the fall my house feels so cozy and homey! It makes me want to just stay home and bake and cook pots of soup. I can't wait to get out all my fall decorations!
Building the first fire of the season in the fireplace.
My favorite thing about fall is that I know the holiday season is just around the corner. Plus the cooler weather means I get to bring out my sweaters and boots!
Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte on a brisk fall day... perfection! Love trips to the pumpkin patch too!
WOW, pick 261!
my favorite thing about fall...wearing a scarf everyday!
i HEART SCARVES!
bring on the scarf weather.
My birthday is in October, so I loved fall for many years. Then, in college, I had a run of "bad autumns" = emotional times, sickness, my Mom nearly dying - all these things put a damper on my birthday season for a while. Then, in 2000, we adopted our oldest, and fall was wonderful again!! A day later, I found out I was pregnant with our first biological baby. Then, my birthday followed the next day. with those happy memories to look back on, I love fall again!!
I love the cool crispness of the air that autumn brings after the heat of summer.
Here is Arizona it's hard the tell Fall from Summer -- today it is 98 degrees. However one things that does change is the color of the sky. My favorite thing is to look up and see that the color of the sky has changed to the most beautiful shade of blue. Most people think I'm crazy, but I can see it.
I love fall....back to school means new school supplies! So fun! Here it stays warm through Oct. but does
start to cool off in the mornings...
Time to put out fall decorations...not Halloween yet!
I love the necklace, actually all of your jewelery. :)
Angie E.
well, I love the colors, the crisp fall air, and pumpkins and apples! I also love that beautiful little bird necklace:)
Wandering through the pumpkin patch and apple orchard with my children...and pulling my favorite hand knits out of storage for the cooler weather.
This new design is beautiful!
What I love about fall, hmmmm, everything! It's my favorite season. I love taking the dogs for a hike in the crisp air, with the leaves changing color and no flies. Oh and Fall makes Christmas just around the corner.~Susan
The leaves turning colour. The crisp weather, the smells. Being able to keep the house open and get all that fresh air in before it turns too cold to have everything open. Being able to cozy up in a blanket and sweaters.
Man. I love the fall.
Faye
I love all things pumpkin...pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin butter, pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin. I love fall!
I love everything about fall...apple picking,leaves changing, mums, back to school, cool nights and sunny days. thanks for the great giveaway! -jess
easy....
1. my son playing in crunchy leaves (I live in New England)
2. Weekend after weekend of country fairs
3. smell of hot apple cider
It awakes all the senses!
Crisp sea air, blankets tugged up at night, the changing light patterns in the garden and across the kitchen floor. Feeling like it is OK to slow down just a bit and settle in just a bit more. Fall.
I believe my favorite thing about fall is the smell of a good campfire while roasting hotdogs with my husband and two boys. A little nip in the air, good food, a ghost story, and you have yourself a magical night!
Hi Lisa, First let me say that I recenty moved to Morro and found yor blog, and visit daily. Your craft is comforting, to say the least.
Now, about fall. I love fall because my 2 of my children (of 4), less one this february were born in fall.I adore the sounds, the scent, the sites, and I feel a rebirth of wonder each and every fall. My youngest boys thrilled me daily for many years, and still do.
BUT
September 9th will mark the birthday of my third born James. His deathday , I'm certain will be equally as difficult, but I still love fall. The heart of life, is still good. But I miss my baby terribly. Shortly after his death, a bird came in through the sliding glass door. My husband called to me and I came to find a little bird, staring me right in the eye. I said hello, hoping it was James spirit because he would know to come to me in the form a bird, which I love. I dont know where he is. I dont know why, or what to think. But I am still breathing nearly 7 months later, and I am afraid, and I am hopeful, and I am still alive.
My favorite thing about fall is the smell of a good campfire while roasting hot dogs and snuggling with my boys while camping!
Fall is my favorite season! I love the change to cooler weather, wearing cozy sweaters, the leaves changing colors, carving pumpkins. This will be my son's first year trick-or-treating so I'm looking forward to his excitement. Love the necklace!
scarecrows, halloween and the leaves changing colors and falling to rake into big piles for the kids to jump into!!
Ok, I keep trying to post but am having trouble...one more go because I am in love with that necklace! I love camping with my two boys and my husband. The fall is just right when we are out there with a great fire, dogs are roasting, and boys are snuggling...days that will slip away quickly.
This is gorgeous. I love crisp days, sleeping with the windows open, going to an apple festival in Long Grove, IL, apple pies, Fall TV shows lol
wearing a hooded sweatshirt and jeans on a cool day crisp day!
That is such a beautiful necklace :) I love EVERYTHING about fall :) The first crisp morning is the best; the smell of wood burning, the way morning sunlight hits a mountain full of orange and red leaves...it's my favorite time of year :)
Lisa- I love your work and your sweet family! OK, my most favorite thing about Fall is: IT ALL! I love fall. Bon fires, football games, sweatshirts and blankets and open windows with the cool night air! Yeah. I love it all!
i've never lived anywhere with all four seasons... until now. this will mark my first fall EVER. since i can't speak from personal experience, i think what i love most about it is that fall seems to be the only season that no one has anything bad to say about. i'm very excited to find out for myself!
My favorite thing about fall is the colors. I love decorating my house in fall oranges and browns, adding pumkins and candles all around to set a mood. The weather gets cooler and I am able to open all of the windows and let the breeze come in. I also love fall clothes, sweaters and jeans. But, my favorite of all is no hurricanes later in the season. I just returned from evacuating and I don't think I can handle any more storms.
I can't say that fall is my favorite season - I don't even know what my favorite season is anymore. But it's definitely my husband's favorite season. And the most special thing about fall to me is that I met my husband in the fall - our first semester in college - we met and haven't been apart since - now almost 18 years later! Thanks for giving me a forum to reminisce tonight. :-)
My favorite thing(s) about Fall is the impending cool weather!!! :) And the impending holidays. Can't just pick one. haha.
I LOVE that necklace!!!
(Because I have kids starting school this week)...the excitement of children meeting their new teachers, pencil boxes with fresh, new crayons, thinking of the possibilities of what teh new school year has in store, surprising the kiddos with fall decorations around the house when they come home--they seem to hunt through the house looking for the changes--love their looks on their faces. And since we are in Texas, the hope of a/an (occasional) cool breeze! When hubby & I dated, I would always feel the breeze, ask him what that meant and tell him, "Christmas is coming!". Now, he does it since I get caught up in the school/kids stuff!
the reds & yellows on the maple leaves and the sound of the leaves crunching underfoot. ...and the best thing to hear in the fall is hearing the announcer yell, "Touchdown Wisconsin Badgers!" during Saturday games!
Jennifer
My favorite thing is the crispness in the air, driving with the windows down again, putting sweaters on my kids, and watching the leaves turn!
Favorite thing about fall ... being able to snuggle up and wear sweaters again! I've never felt very comfortable in loose, light summer clothes, so the layers in the fall suit me perfectly!
I LOVE the cooler weather & getting dark earlier...so I can crawl into my cozy bed and snuggle with my honey!
Love the necklace!
One of my favorite things about fall is taking the kids to the pumpkin patch.....and capturing it with photos!
I love fall because both of my children were born this time of year. So once the air turns cooler and the pumpkin spice candle begins to burn, I know it's time to celebrate their lives and reflect on what a blessing it's been to be their mom. It's sort of my Mother's Day, but a few months later.
I absolutely love the first time I feel the crisp cool air in the morning.
I have two boys also and fall to me is being able to show and share with them my favorite season. To be able to stop and take the time to appreciate all that we have in this world. Weather big or small sharing our moments now little and big because one day they will go off to kindergarten and then the years will pass so quickly and they will have grown before my eyes. I want to share with them all the sights, smells and sounds of fall and each season of the year.
I love having had my boys in september, the perfect fall season. Joelle Canada
What a sweet necklace! My mom loves birds - I think I may see it in her future for Christmas!
Fall is my favorite season! What I'm loving right now is shopping for my new baby girl - girly fall clothes are FUN! LOL
"Backyard" time with the kids again (without all the sweat)! Our favorite is to take big, cozy blankets onto the trampoline and snuggle up while gazing at the night sky. Now that's living!
The Soup, I love the soup.. but not as much as I love this necklace! Pick me.
wow, everything! I love buying new pencils because all the school supplies are out, I love the fresh crisp air, I love love the leaves.I love decorating for fall, putting out the scarecrow and the pumpkins... I could go on all night, fall is my most favorite time of all!
Watching the leaves on a tree in my front yard turn from green to a beautiful shade of orange. Sipping hot apple cider. Enjoying freshly baked apple pie and apple crisp with family and friends. Taking walks and breathing in the cool brisk air. There are so many things to love about Fall!
I live in the South, so feeling the first bit of chill in the air is my absolute favorite part of fall. Next would be the gorgeous colors of the leaves as they change from greens to reds, oranges, and yellows. Beautiful. And last, but not least, the memories of my older children playing in piles of leaves in the backyard. My six year old still has time to enjoy that though!!
Fall is my favorite season. Maybe because the cooler weather, the beautiful colors, back to school, Halloween, football...I suppose the list could go on and on. But I believe lately it is because 2 of my children were born in the fall. Taylor came first. Healthy and beautiful. Then Ryan. Beautiful but not healthy. Born in October as the leaves were changing so was my life and it will never be the same. Ryan was a preemie and has cystic fibrosis and spent 3 seasons in the hospital. Winter brought more surgeries and a fight for life. Spring found a wonderful homecoming. Summer found new challenges. Then came fall once again and brings Ryan’s first birthday. He made it through the year that the doctors didn't think he would.
The night before Ryan was born; Taylor and I sat in the nursery with all the baby things that we had just gotten out of the attic that day. It was a cool Georgia night and Daddy had a softball game to go to. Me and Taylor stayed home. I can still smell the fresh air. That was the last night before the storm. I sometimes refer to it as our time of innocence. We had no idea what tomorrow would bring. I use to crave that night. I will never forget how it felt and smelled.
Fall is my favorite because Ryan is another year older so we beat cf one more year!
My favorite things about fall . . .
Seeing GOD paint the leaves more beautifully than any artist could . . . the "nip" in the air in the mornings and the evenings . . . the excitement my husband has because fall means HUNTING SEASON and he loves to hunt! (could it have anything to do that he lives in a house with FOUR females??!!) :)
I love LOVE all your jewelry!!!
I love the structure and routine that comes with Fall. It is welcome after a long lazy and care free Summer. Not that I don't love that too!
With all of the Halloween treats and Fall decorations around indoor and outdoor of the house are one of the best thing about the Fall. Still, I enjoy seeing children of all ages (and of course adults) dressing up in their costumes for Halloween. It is so much fun to see how cute and creative they are into the Halloween spirit. Bringing me more smiles is one of the valid reasons for this special season: Fall.
my birthday 3 days before autumn, crisp nights, colorful leaves, planting bulbs in anticipation of spring, pint sized creatures getting candy door to door, celebrating our thankfulness, cheering favorite teams on the field and diamond, the crunch of dry leave, raking them into a pile and then jumping in, hot chocolate, ...
my favorite thing about fall is listening to old music that used to mean so much to me and thinking of lost love and friendships, being melancholy. it's a great time to look back, and then look ahead.
i'm originally from san francisco, so the fall often means Indian Summer...absolutely gorgeous weather and full harvest moons through October :)
What do I love about Fall? Crunching leaves underfoot, yummy food in the crockpot, hay rides, and my son's face as he get's to pick out his Halloween costume. It's also the "gateway" to the holidays, making it all once step closer to more family time.
312 comments???? Oh. Wow.
So, fall...I love everything pumpkin: pumpkin cookies, pancakes, muffins, smoothies, candles!! I love the color of the leaves (though they don't change much here). I love the fresh feeling of a new school year. Love you, Lisa!
I love all the warm colors, cool mornings and warm afternoons. I love to bake and cook comfort food. I love to spend time with my family while working on indoor projects. I love everything about fall :)
Hi Lisa,
My first most favorite thing about fall is my sons birthday. He was the best birthday present I got on October 27, 2004. We share the same birthday and I look forward to fall approaching fast.
I do also enjoy all the pumpkins, spices, the smell of roasting pumpkin seeds and feeling all those giddy feelings I had when I was a little girl!
Have a wonderful weekend with your family!
Yours truly,
Lisa (from Canada)

playing hooky, the sound (and smell) of falling leaves, the first sip of tea, pumpkin picking, retreating in front of a fire or under a cozy blanket and reading / writing / inspiring, reading the first page of a book; then writing about it, the colours!, chunky cardigans, knitting outside on a cool day as the sun sets, the sounds of kids walking to the bus stop on school days, watching nature hibernate before your very eyes - and most importantly, the presence of family during the holidays. the hussle-bussle to prep, but beautiful, memorable family dinners. :)
stay well! xo
cream cheese pumpkin bars, going to fall harvest festivals, wearing sweaters, pumpkins, my anniversary....
i thought of a different one--my anniversary! our tenth this year. how many more comments can you get? and how are you choosing?
bonfires by the pond!
My favorite thing about fall are the beautiful changing leaves--especially when the quaking aspen leaves turn golden yellow and sparkle in the sun.
My favorite thing about fall is when my little students first realize that they are really learning to read and that they can sound out words. Its so rare that they feel pride academically, they just know they are different but haven't figured out why yet.
cooler quiet beaches and days...
FOOTBALL!!
baking persimmon cookies
apple hill pumpkin patches
cashmere socks and warm blankets
tahoe's fiery aspens
hope valley colors
oktoberfest and the salmon run
more time to just stay in and snuggle and read...
The fall air so crisp,
The leaves that glow with brilliance,
The rustle under your feet,
The glow of the sun,
The smell of autumn,
The feeling of peace,
The tease of winter in the air,
The hope of things soon to come,
Fall fills me with anitcipation. Energy. Joy. How can I pick just one? Autumn is the season I adore.
First of all, wanted to send you and your family love and light, especially with the passing of a close family member. It can be rough, and we all need all the love we can get in this world. (: My fav. thing about fall? Ooh, that's tough...Fall/Autumn is my very favourite season. I guess I would have to say though...one of my top fav. things is the way the light changes this time of year...the sunlight becomes softer, warmer, more diffuse...making everything it illuminates just glow with this magical, golden, otherworldly, softly sparkling light, especially around twilight. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
Fall is - saturday soccer games at three different fields at the same time for my 5 kids....
Apple pie cooking in the oven, the smell of a fall spice candle on your counter, the low overhead clouds and the brisk fall morning, where you need a sweater just for a little while...
The leaves whisking behind the car as you drive to and from your errands...the gorgeous colors of the beautful fall landscape our Lord created - just for us to bask in His beauty....
And now me driving back and forth to classes to get my Nursing degree...Life is Good
We just moved from California to Indiana, I am enjoying the lush greenery and the emerging splashes of color on the trees which tell me "Autumn is near."
some favourite things about Autumn are making my home more cozy, autumn picnics, using more candles as the days become shorter, sunflowers...
though it's Spring time here in Australia now, so I'll enjoy this season now.

I love how the leaves start to change color. I just love it! It is so beautiful. I do welcome the crispness in the air, too. It is always nice after a hot humid summer. Thanks for the great giveaway! You are very talented!
My favorite thing about fall is sunflowers, pumpkins, cool weather, and a change in clothes! I ALSO LIKE TO REMEMBER THAT MY JESUS WAS BORN DURING THIS SEASON, THE HARVEST SEASON. I AM THANKFUL THAT HE CAME TO SAVE ME. SO THAT IS MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE.

I love FALL...first of all, my bday is in Oct (my 30th birthday this year) YAY!! The Apple festivals, marshmellow roasting, pumpkin searching, haywagon riding, leaf changing BEAUTY that is fall.
Thanks Lisa!! :)
The cool, crisp air after enduring a long Texas summer! Kind of makes it seem like all's right with the world.....
I love it when the air gets colder and the leaves start changing color and you have to put on jackets and scarves! Lovely :) Thanks!

The one thing I look most forward to about the fall is going through the Corn Maze. It takes us hours but it is so much fun!
I looking forward to crisp autumn days and walks with my toddler son, college football with my husband and fresh apples.
While it's raining outside, snuggling in blankets with my kids reading stories or telling jokes from the joke book. We love laughing!
Walking in the park
Every step
I hear the crisp crackle
Of dried golden leaves
Under my every step
With music

Now that's my most favourite thing in Autumn

my favorite thing about fall is the cooling weather and the leaves changing. This usually happens mid to late October and really is just wonderful to see the vibrant colors of fall.
Ugh...to pick only one! I have so many favorites...the changing color of the leaves, the chill in the air, the outings of picking apples, and drinking hot cider by a fire...Fall is my absolute favorite season and I look forward to it each and every year! :)
My favourite thing about fall is that the tourists go away. I live in a small beach town, so now it's getting quiet again, parking is easy to find, and there is no one at the beach when we want to take our dog for a walk at night. It's just slowing down. It's a shame we have to move soon.
My favorite thing is a big pot o' turkey chili, my super comfy couch, my snuggly down throw, and Sunday football on the big screen all afternoon--PERFECTION!
Cool weather and football!
I live in NE Ohio, so my favorite thing about fall is the leaves changing colors. It is absolutely beautiful. The weather is perfectly fresh and cool, and the pumpkins and mums are everywhere. It's my favorite season!
Fall is my favorite!!! I wish it lasted longer!
I love the leaves changing, the brisk air, the decorating colors that are so warm and cozy, apple picking, warm apple cider, jeans and light sweaters, candles, tea, snuggle cozy days, etc. etc.
*hugs*
This year - after taking a year's leave of absence - I am returning to the classroom ... so I think that will be my favorite thing about fall :) I can't believe how much I missed teaching and learning right along with my fifth graders! Also new this year is our backyard firepit; we've already enjoyed several s'more evenings with neighbors, an activity I can see continuing right through the fall :) Hip, hip, hooray ... Autumn is here!
This contest might be over,but I still wanted to add mine because it makes me smile :)
My absolute favorite thing about fall is oversized sweatshirts & pj pants with a mug of hot cider,then
lounging on the couch with my hubby,kids in their jammies,their blankets spread out on the living room floor with toys galore all over it while my husband and I look on and smile & laugh watching them until our cheeks hurt. You can't add anymore love at that moment.
My favorite thing about fall is remembering to slow down and enjoy time as a family. Baking pumpkin muffins, raking leaves, hanging the wreath on the front door and knowing that Santa will be coming soon - and of course being thankful for all that we have and remembering to always give to others!
a relief from the heat and humidity and the return of my desire to cook yummy food!
My favorite thing about fall is going out of my way to step on crunchy leaves...and warm homemade applesauce!
For me the crispness of the air after the oppressiveness of the summer heat. Being able to cuddle up with a quilt. Oh and wearing sweaters - LOVE sweaters and the season is so short!! Of course one cannot forget the absolute splendour of changing leaves... I find it breathtaking.
P.S. LOVE your designs - their simplicity make them so elegant...
Fall- bright orange, red and yellow leaves. Camp fires, marshmallow roasting,pumpkins,crisp wind blowing and cozy sweaters to wear!
Your work is lovely!
No humidity!!!!!!! Cooler, brisker days.
Hi Lisa. What I love most about fall is that I will be able to shoot(if I am lucky) some beautiful macro photos of the Maple leaves. They`re so full of colors even if they are about to fade and....die.I also love the fresh and clear air up in the Norwegian mountains. Beautiful necklace as always. I am the proud owner of two of your necklaces. Hugs,
.
I can't believe there are so many comments? But then again I can't believe this is such a beautiful necklace--I've gotta have it! Where to begin with my favorite things about fall...mostly, the birthday of my miraculous son who I thought would never join our family. Then there is those crisp mornings, the leaves that are so beautiful they make you want to cry, and the turning to home after spending so many summer hours out and about. Kind of like returning home to your cozy nest.
I am originally from Central Illinois and I love the sights and smell of Fall...especially when the fields are being harvested. It's hard to explain, but I miss the harvest since I've moved to the south.

my most favorite thing this fall is watching my just turning 1 year old walking and enjoying the fall outside. it is a beautiful thing.
Pumpkin spice bread!
Hello to the sounds of leaves rustling in the wind, to the scent of a just fallen rain, to picnics in front of the fireplace with loved ones, simmering soups, the familar coziness of my favorite scarf around my neck, the sweet and rosy cheeks and nose of my sweet boy playing in the evening hours...I am in love with Fall. I could go on and on :)
I love the cool crisp mornings, the look of frost on the grass, and the amazing colors of leaves changing!
The cool weather, changing colors and wearing sweatshirts!
My absolute favorite part of fall is the crisp smell. The leaves fall and turn beautiful colors and the wind blows with a mild breeze that is so comforting and calm. Its like the simple warning before the mass snow to come in the following months for Chicago. The kids run and play in the leaves, so free. The fall colors and halloween decorations. . Its been my husbands and mine favorite season since as long as we both can recall. It brings me back to when we first starting dating and would come home from a amazing night out to walk his puppy. Oh the sweet memories of firts and everlasting love....
what don't i love about the fall?
the warm tones, comfort foods, apple desserts, pumpkin bread, fall leaves blowing in the streets and the cooler evening breeze. i love dressing our home with autumn colors - candles, blankets, pumpkins, and photos of halloweens past.
it's the oncoming of another season in our lives just like the circle of life. it's a beautiful transition from a warm, vibrant colored summer into a cooler, muted toned season that reminds us to gather and prepare for the coming of winter.
it's a time for reflection and giving thanks for our great abundance of blessings!

I love the newness and hope that fall brings. New fall clothes and notebooks and crayons that haven't been broken yet. Sometimes I feel like fall is even better than new years as a time to rethink my life and restart good habits. Everything is crisp and clean and the air, oh the smell of the clean air with all the windows open! love it. dream about it. fall.
I love it when the days are still warm and the nights turn cool.
Such a cute necklace! I have been eying your jewelry for months now in hopes to get something for my birthday this month. ;o)
I love the fall because my birthday is Oct. 30th, and I love to be alive. I am so blessed to live where I do for another year and not have a birthday on Oct. 31st. I love the way the sun shines with an orangish hue but is not as bright as summer. Finally, I love the memory of the new school year. My daughter has turned into a lovely, young lady and has started Jr. High. I love new beginnings.
pumpkin spice lattes, apple orchards and apple donuts :)
my favorite thing about fall is the day My husband proposed to me. It was the end of Ocotber with the leaves changing so the smell in the air was wonderful. It was a day trip we took to a covered bridge. Fall always reminds me of that wonderful day....seven years and going strong.
My favorite is to take a deep breath and breathe in the crispness of the cooler air. Other favorites...watching the leaves change and then start their graceful dance to the ground. Oh, I can't forget warm pumpkin pie! I guess I'd be lying if I didn't say that my birthday was another favorite thing about fall.
Cool mornings that turn into gorgeous fall afternoons
Sleeping with the windows open while curling up under the quilt on my bed - next to my hubby, of course :)
High School Football on Friday Nights
The smell of bonfires and wood fireplaces burning (we smelled one tonight!)
Not knowing what to wear because the weather is changing
i love everything about fall...the change in weather, the colors of the leaves, the smell of the air and of course pumpkin pie!
]All of the seasons have special memories and meanings to me (sights, smells, temperature) but the best thing about fall is the crisp cool air and getting to snuggle up under a blanket with my kiddos :-) There are few things more special than that time together...
Here's a quote from my blog about my favorite Fall things!
"My birthday is in the Fall, when the crisp leaves of our liquid amber trees are shades of orange and red and yellow. The air is crisp and fresh, the days are short, and my hand knit scarves find a permanent home around my grateful neck. Some of these autumn days are enticing and my backless Mary Jane's seem to have an extra little spring in their step. Other days seem a bit ominous, with foreboding clouds lurking in a gray, dimly lit sky.
I have a true affection for Fall days of all kinds." :)
Love love the necklace. My favortie thing about fall is the warmth of it. Family a little closer, the smells, snuggly blankets, crispness in the air. My favorite time of the year for sure.
what isn't my favorite part of fall!! rolling in the crisp leaves with the kids...the gray sky against the blue sky and the smell that it brings before the rain begins...the way the autumn trees pop in color against the sky...seriously...what isn't my favorite part of fall!! pumpkin centerpieces and garlands around the house...sigh...i LOVE fall!!
My favorite things about fall...the scent of the corn fields as they dry in the late summer sun; new school clothes and fresh starts; cinnamon, pumpkins, and football; picking apples and baking, baking, baking; bonfires; knowing that the holidays are coming; the cool breezes and chilly evenings; wearing sweatshirts; and when the sorghum turns a rusty brown and glows in the late afternoon sun.

i love the pumpkin patch and watching my boys run through the hay stacked maze. i love that my favorite holidays are approaching. i love all the comfort food and most of all i love the colors!!!
The smell...there is something about the smell of fall in the midwest. It smells like football, crunchy leaves, shorter days, crockpot recipes, cooler weather, distant smoke (burning leaves) and comfy blankets. My most favorite time!! Great necklace, as usual!!
Autumn is my favorite season. There is the football, the colors of the leaves. Everything starts to get ready for winter. Not having to mow the grass as much. Oh and my birthday usually falls on the offical first day of fall:)
my favorite things about fall are...
apple picking! cider donuts! our huge church corn roast and bonfire! apple pies, applie dumplings....and then pumpkin pies, pumpkin butter, pumpkin cake. thankfully, here in vermot, they stick the "leaf peepers" marathon right in the middle of all of this..so i dont feel so bad eating all that stuff during training.
and lastly-
in vermont, we are so blessed to have the beautiful foliage. going for drives to see Gods artistry is what i most look forward to.
My most favorite thing about fall is the crisp days that invite a horseback ride. Feeling warm and bundled up in fleece shirts and jeans and boots and sitting on my pretty little rescue bay mare... nothing is better!
pumpkins...ugly squash...autumn leaves...cider...homemade applesauce...snuggles
I love the changing of the leaves...I grew up in Phoenix where nothing changed, and now that I'm in Kansas, seasons are great! I bake pumpkins every year...we do a UNICEF Trick or Treat campaign...and the weather gets fabulous!
Speaking of fabulous...love the necklace! :)
Fall is my most favorite season. I love crisp fuji apples, steaming lattes, pumpkin pie, snuggling under cozy blankets, the beauty of changing leaves, the chill that is in the air, sweater weather and endless bowls of my favorite soups. Mmmmmm.
Holy Moly - have some comments girl! I love fall - cooler weather, structured schedule, more free time for me during the day to get things done. But I do have to say that I miss my kids a little when they go back to school. It seems to go from being family oriented during the summer to school oriented. Oh well - all part of life constantly changing! Love ya
And I love this necklace :)
I am eagerly awaiting celebrating this fall with my first 2nd grade class! i can't wait to enjoy fall leaves, pumpkins, and halloween with all of them!
okay Lisa...388!!!comments!!!is that some kind of record for a blog giveaway? Your jewelry is so cool...please accept comment #389! I live in FL so my favorite fall stuff has to be cooler than 95 degree weather, all my special family birthdays in November, and the opening of the Pumpkin Patch @ the local Methodist Church...I know fall has truly arrived when I see all those pumpkins lined up from teeny tiny to OMG, can't even lift it size! *elaine*
We love to make scented greeting cards... Yummy... :)Amy
my favorite thing about fall is taking a day and going to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin...
..after carving them i make fresh pumpkin bread! so yum!
-Natasha
Fall is my most favorite season, so there's so many things to choose from..... I'll go with the smell of pumpkin candles, the crackle of leaves under my feet during an evening walk & the joy on my husbands face during football season :O)
I live in Phoenix, so fall is pretty much non-existant. . .(bummer) so I use my imagination a lot and try to incorporate traditions to help me feel like it is autumn time. like eating apple butter in a warm biscuit. yum!
My favourite thing about Fall (or Autumn as we call it here in Oz) is that it's over now! We're already experiencing a beautiful Spring. Not beautiful for too long though - soon we'll all be melting!
But my favourite thing is leaving the city behind and experiencing the changing colours of Autumn in the country, the crispness in the air, a glass of wine around a fire, and a good, solid meal with friends and family. Can't beat it.
wow, I am number 394! That's alotta comments! A friend has bought your jewelry before and when I commented on her necklace she forwarded me your site. Love your stuff! Ok, back to fall...love the football games, the crispness in the air and the pumpkins, cider and changing of the leaves!

I usually can't wait for fall, because I love when the temp starts to cool down, and it means we are just that much closer to the holidays, which I completely love:) Happy Fall to you and yours and thanks for doing such a great job with all you do!!!!
My favorite thing about fall is the anticipation of all that is to come...
...and pumpkin bars, too! :)
Fall for me emits a strong sense of family and home. I love the change in the weather to a brisk wind that beckons to call you to the comforts of your home. Fall make me feel poetic and nostalgic. I love the change that fall/autumn brings.
I love to buy new blue jeans for my little fellow!! something about the feel of "fresh" jeans for him......
