My favorite is the fall wreath it's gorgeous

[@sandracedar368]

You can “spritz” your roses (flowers) with glue/water mixture to keep them pretty for several days. (Florists use this trick all of the time🙀)❤️

We don't really get fall here in Coastal Georgia either and after all of this heat, I'm looking forward to cooler weather. I'm one of those people who skips over fall scents because the pumpkin smell especially, makes me nauseated. I prefer to go into winter scents like Fir, Spruce and scent mixes with vanilla or cinnamon in them. The wreath is gorgeous, I think I'll make one and add little pumpkins to it.

[@MelodieLeinart56]

On those fall or winter berries that are made of styrofoam and they get nicked to where you see the foam, I use the coordinating color of fingernail polish to touch them up , works great

[@WomanUnfiltered]

Years ago when I lived in a pretty small subdivision, we'd all sign up for an evening drop in for the month of December leading up to the 24th. Each night a home would have a nonalcoholic punch, a few types of appetizers and several sweets choices. We even started printing up recipe sheets of what we made for anyone who wanted the recipes. It really provided cheer and added to the neighborhood comraderie.

[@designedtothenines]

Love this idea!!!💕

[@debirice7405]

I love this idea!

[@soniawheeler2409]

Our church ladies would get together and plan out a menu for just 1 evening of festive food before the Christmas celebration. The First Lady would serve appetizers, the second soup, the third a main, the fourth a different main, the fifth dessert. The First Lady would tag along to the 2nd, 3rd and so on, then the second to the 3rd and 4th and so on and so on until everyone was completely stuffed and happy! The following year 5 other ladies would host! It was so much fun cramming everybody into full cars of bundled up people wrapped in warm but bulky clothing. (It gets very cold in eastern Canada during winter!) No booze or coffee needed to stay warm and giggly laughing with each other while we rubbed our bellies! And each host received a lovely little gift from the entire bunch of us for going through the effort of decorating our homes just a little merrier. Then at the end of the evening we’d have a ladies vs gentleman snowball fight! Oh my, how silly we would get! 😂🤗 Our choir would also take an evening of carolling 2 weeks prior to Christmas in lieu of practice on Sunday evening! I thoroughly enjoyed it! You are such a beautiful soul Natalee!

[@janicemergerson2475]

Wish my church or anybody would do this. It sounds like so much fun.

[@melaniebishop480]

​@@soniawheeler2409we used to do that when I was young. We called it a progressive dinner. So much fun.

[@karencamburn6773]

One pumpkin each looks good on the porch 🎃🎃🎃

[@paolamontes6508]

Everything was absolutely gorgeous!

[@simoneshlomi3869]

The acorn treats are so cute!

[@robinstallings3167]

I love the pumpkins in the pots, looks just like a pumpkin patch!

[@iammedusa2600]

I'm going home to Maine/New Hampshire in September. I miss Fall so much too. Nothing beats a crisp Fall day in Maine, except a freezing snowy day by the wood stove watching football with deliciousness in the slow cooker. xoxox

[@drb121363]

I am a New England girl as well and I miss the fall season and all the New England fall smells as well

[@pamelahill7164]

I like the pumpkins single stacked

[@cathypowell7852]

Fairy lights would be gorgeous in the pumpkin greenery

[@mandybarnes8787]

“Fall purpose” cleaner! Love a good pun!

[@designedtothenines]

😂💕

[@jhenniceamorrow5936]

That "pumpkin patch " is adorable!

[@user-wv2bn2cb1i]

The pumpkins in the pots. Looks great.

[@matabrandy1]

Love the little acorns

[@peggyfiedler1556]

Love the napkin

[@MelodieLeinart56]

The best essential oil to use for cleaning and sanitizing is thieves oil and it smells so like fall spice

[@deloriscobb923]

I knew you had free printables, but never got any . Till now, I have very few Fall things, But you are so very generous, I love your printables. Thank you so much. I watch you all the time and love your enthusiasm.

[@debfrancis2166]

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@gaile2241]

[@robinaustin649]

Hi Natalie, Here is an idea for the leftover biscuit dough you had after making the leaf biscuits. So you can take the piece that is leftover separate into 3 equal size little balls and place in the 3 little balls into a cupcake pan close together and it will bake together forming a little pumpkin. I would cook them just until lightly golden, follow the package instructions for the bake time. Then when they are cool you can add for the stem you can use a pretzel like you used for the acorn but I would wait unil the biscuits are baked and for the leaf you can use parsley, green onion top, mint,basil ect. Whatever you choose will look cute. Don't forget to spray or grease the cupcake pan. You could also brush toss with butter after baking and add a little parmesan cheese . How this gives you some ideas on how to use the leftover dough. Food is so expensive I hate wasting it.

[@judithhawkins1126]

Your ideas are so helpful!! Thank you.

[@susanruppel434]

I am crushing on the pumpkin napkins!

[@carolynknisely2383]

That was great!! Thanks!! Loved the cleaner hack!!

[@designedtothenines]

So glad!

[@docsmctink]

The porch is lovely. A slightly smaller pumpkin on top of the large one…and less expensive! Great ideas!

[@tracy_222]

[@suevantassel1406]

[@karolhenderson8888]

I like the pumpkins 🎃 unstacked. That green is gorgeous color with the pumpkins

[@cathyfloridagirl2867]

Love your ideas always pretty front door wreath

[@jennbidwelledwardson2885]

Making those acorns with my granddaughter. Maybe with my grandson too. So cute!

[@lindarobish7775]

For decor items I’m placing outside, I give them a good coating of Scotchguard with sun protection, and when that dries, a light coating of a clear acrylic matte spray. Helps prolong the “life” and color of them without changing their appearance.

[@designedtothenines]

Love this suggestion!!

[@jillkalaniopio5863]

I love all of your ideas and hacks!! They are always the best! Thank you for sharing!

[@designedtothenines]

Glad you like them!🎃

[@samararivett2965]

Another great drink and acorn inspired treat recipe. I might be tempted to use ginger ale flavoured soda in place of sprite. Something for warm days and cool evenings cozied up with a warm cup of your favourite drink.

[@anneblenkhorn5258]

I have also become aware of toxins in so many products and have been making all of my own cleaning products.most are easy and cheaper than store bought.

[@charlottealexander-pryor3268]

Thanks for the ideas. The leftover dough from the biscuits can be rolled and made into donut rounds for cake pops is what I do. Now I will take your idea and attempt to make the acorns. TFS

[@mslaterva]

The chili looks awesome and I have downloaded the recipe. The flower centerpiece is beautiful. Some many things were great. Really like your ideas and crafts.

[@lisaconnelly7731]

Every one a gem! I especially love the cleaner.

[@mariamercado3946]

Natalee, there are so many great hacks. The pumpkin napkins are super cute. I like to add subtle touches of fall in my home.

[@sherrygaster3730]

This video is full of awesome ideas! I think pineapple juice would be delicious added to the drink recipe that you made. 😊

[@designedtothenines]

Great idea!!

[@barbkrieser8972]

Oh Natalie fantastic ideas I love all of them especially the “ pumpkin napkins “ ty for all u do 🌻🌻🌻

Thanks so much! 😊

[@livingawordfilledlife]

LOVE it! Thanks so much. So happy to find a non-toxic cleaner that smells like fall! Will be doing that one for sure!

Hope you like it!

[@pamelafox7677]

I love your energy, you are humble, fun and resourceful.

[@designedtothenines]

🤗

[@maryellenyork2819]

I'm glad you used dark glass (not clear). Dark is necessary to preserve the essential oil.

[@designedtothenines]

Yes! Thank you!

[@Caren-bo4uw]

I love your ideas! You are very creative. I never would have thought of some of them - like the acorns!

[@sherriwalker8019]

Oh, NataLee!! What wonderful ideas!! My favorite was the ginormous pumpkin pots on your front porch!! Absolutely beautiful!! My next favorite was the acorns!! How easy and cute!! I've got to try this for our Thanksgiving dinner!! I'm not in to the essential oils, so I just get a fall pumpkin spice candle and burn it!! I know... lazy!! But it works for me. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent!! God bless you and yours!!

[@brendasmith1533]

Fellow New Englander here. Love these hacks. Also, I'm so (not so patiently) looking forward to your episodes with power tools! 💪 Glad to see your're well! ❤🤗

[@designedtothenines]

Coming very soon!! Thank you!

[@add_xtine775]

I have started getting covers for the pillows instead of using my storage real estate for whole separate pillows. And if you find a pillow you just love, that's fine, just put the cover on that pillow for the next season/holiday you need a change for

[@designedtothenines]

Love it!!!

[@swarner7463]

Thank you for sharing! I like putting a little bit out late August. If I see the leaves start to change outside then I think that is a good benchmark to start; key here is I am above the 45th parallel.

[@ellie..bell10]

Use a wood ring and wrap it with fall colored material ripped in pieces for wrapping around the ring, then tie a string to the finished ring. This way, your guests can keep the ring as a little fall gift after opening their napkin.

[@cathycolegrove2893]

I love all your ideas but the donut hole acorns! Oh my goodness cute overload and delicious!

[@cathleenweaver6483]

I know you've just started on your no toxins lifestyle but I think it would be so interesting to hear what you have learned so far...mostly toxins in our every day cleaning products. It's a touchy subject but I feel we all need to be aware even if only to cut down on use 💜💙💚💛🧡

[@designedtothenines]

Great suggestion!

[@Twistedvintage]

I am so glad I found your channel. Enjoy your videos so much!

[@designedtothenines]

I'm so glad! 🥰

[@fandle1941]

Thank you Natalie for all your tips, I need to put them on hold as I am in Queensland Australia and we are going into Spring. We do get four seasons but they blend into each other without big changes. Summer can get very hot, but Winter is never very cold. No complaints from me though. Love your channel thank you. 🇦🇺🙏

[@designedtothenines]

Enjoy your beautiful spring weather!

[@carmenwheel2439]

[@lindawhite1187]

Great ideas and fall hacks I’m going to have try a couple of them out especially the donut acorn idea tfs 💕

[@annw1395]

Such cute ideas! Esp the pumpkin napkin! You always have the best hacks. I would leave the porch pumpkins as single ones. No vinegar on natural stone or on grout. It can ruin both over time. You may also want to avoid putting your boiling hot pot on the granite. Like you, i'm not ready for fall yet in Phoenix-- not for a couple more months!

[@designedtothenines]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@cbbeachgirl4811]

Flower idea so cute

[@chrissybetlem9872]

I believe you’ve done this before, but I’ve been doing it since the 80s!! Just a pot of water with cinnamon and lots of clove powder!!! Bring to a boil & then simmer!!!! My ENTIRE house smells FANTASTIC 🍁🍁🍁

[@designedtothenines]

Yes! It is sooo good!

[@kjmassey911]

As a health coach I’m so excited about all you’ve learned and how you’re sharing with others. There’s so many toxins in our lives but it’s really easy to switch to “cleaner” items if you know what to do. Keep sharing!

[@designedtothenines]

I was so surprised and yes… pretty easy to switch to less toxic products. I have also had my eyes opened to how many products I use too! Maybe I don’t need all this stuff. 😂

[@kjmassey911]

@@designedtotheninesTrue, we may not but there are such wonderful swaps out there. You look fabulous and look like you are feeling so much better. 💗

Thank you for posting the chili recipe! I went straight to the description looking for it!

[@kkabsher4601]

I’m commenting as I watch… Natalee, these hacks are genius! Thank you for sharing the napkin fold. Yours is so much easier than another one I saw where she folded and ironed. It was cute, but I’m never going to do it. I use tire shine spray to refresh my plastic pots. It’s lasted 2 years in GA & those pots face western sun all day. Those pumpkins and greenery are sublime. Look for clearance for your topiary.

[@amandabourland2518]

Love the rose pumpkin, I use a big basket with a handle (it was my grandma's) and fill it with little pumpkins, leaves, potpourri, and it looks beautiful and smells good. I use apple and cinnamon potpourri.

Natalee, i am the same way about holidays, I really don't have the energy to decorate for the seasons anymore. My kids are all grown up and moved to their own houses or apartments so there is only me and my hubby. That being said Christmas i got nuts i have about 8 Christmas trees i put up and decorate. I have a white tinsel tree that had belonged to my parents before they died in 2019. then i have a big tree with crystal, burgundy cream white and gold colours on it then there is one in the basement that has super hero's on it Avon décor pieces and my kids things they made at school when they were younger. I have two topiaries in my living room and two on the front porch flanking the door with pine cones and berries on them I used to put out my Christmas village but i don't do that anymore, but i still have them just in case i use it in the future some pieces are collector pieces. I love it when it snows on Christmas eve it just makes the magic come alive so beautiful. I live in Ontario Canada and we get tons of snow. in the last thirty years i think it we have only had a couple of Christmas's that was green but for the most part its white here. I do thanksgiving and leave the pumpkins out and the fall leaves but i don't do Hallowe'en not since my kids became teenagers. I have never been comfortable for Hallowe'en. I used to buy loads of Candy to give out but i leave my lights off now so they don't knock the door. Some still knock but i only give candy to the kids i know but i drop it off earlier in the day so their parents can give it to their kids. My Grand Daughters are 11 and coming up for 4years old and they get candy but i don't do it anymore. Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ is what i am about and family remembering those who are no longer with us here on this earth. we exchange our gifts on Christmas morning, i know some open up their presents on Christmas eve but i only allow one present each and its always sleepwear on Christmas eve. I love Christmas time. Great video again you outdo yourself every video. So soon it will be power tool reveal next month. Natalee where has the year gone yesterday it was Covid and now we are almost at the end of August already. I swear the years go by faster every year. When i got sick i found there were a lot of toxins in every thing we use. I have a lot of health issues, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Arrhythmia both SVT (fast heart beat) and Bradycardia (slow heart beat) and i have just found out i am pre diabetic too, so yeah lots of problems. If you ever want to chat sometime about your illness i will be there for you sweet lady. Till the next video have a great day Natalee
