ooooh lovely candles! :]
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Fall tradition is making hot cocoa or apple cider with my little sister and watching It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! We do it ever year, tons of fun!
xo.
I saw in a blog about a year ago where someone built a city out of newspaper on the walls to one room. My dream city is Seattle, so last winter I built one on my wall. I'm really excited to make really pretty autumn construction paper leaves to put around my city. I think it will make my place more cozy, because sometimes seasonal depression likes to interfere with life.

My favourite fall tradition is definitely Halloween! My friends and I dress up and have a party filled with treats, scary music and apple bobbing!
ReplyDeleteI must confess that when this fall weather hits I definitely can't resist a Tim Hortons French Vanilla or a Starbucks Vanilla Latte.
I also can't resist wearing all my favourite fall clothing :-)
Going to the pumpkin patch with husband...make real pumpkin pie out of real pumpkins, lighting candles and leaving lights off...I could go on!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway.
I hear you on the sweet tooth - mine is something terrible right now. And I can pretty much avoid sweets any other season!
ReplyDeleteMy guilty pleasure right this very minute is cinnamon caramel apples - I'm serious, the addition of cinnamon in the caramel makes these to die for. So yummy.
rachel: this is off topic, but trader joes makes the best carrot cake muffins with cream cheese frosting! yum!
ReplyDeletemy favorite fall foods are maple cookies -- the ones shaped like little maple leaves with frosting in the center. mmmm. also, pumpkin gelato, which i discovered when i ordered pizza one night (i love that my pizza place delivers gelato!)
my favorite fall thing to do is to walk on the trail underneath the colorful autumn trees, with a coffee in hand. apple cider also works. the leaves are just starting to turn here in seattle, and this is on my list of things to do tomorrow! even if it rains :)
Oh I loooove fall because I get to drink tons of Pumpkin Spice Lattes! I've been getting them with soy this year and they seem much creamier. Love them!
ReplyDeleteRose! I'm jealous. No Trader Joe's here in Springfield, and no pumpkin gelato for 100 miles.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy my favorite season in my husband's favorite city!
My fave fall tradition is Mexican hot chocolate and cozy scarves. The hot chocolate is a little spicy and oh so creamy! I would definitely recommend it!
ReplyDeletepretty pretty!
ReplyDeletemy favourite fall tradition is going to the farmers market and picking out cute little mini-pumpkins and squash for decoration on my dining table (i try to get all white, light green, grey). and of course my guilty pleasure treat(s) would be pumpking spice lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin seeds...
Beautiful candles! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have a few favorite fall traditions.. 1) eating pumpkin pie and having more than one slice..2) drinking grande pumpkin lattes from Starbucks (I get so excited when they come out)..3) watching "Hocus Pocus" (loooove this movie)!

:( I live in Costa Rica that means no candle for me and no autumn.
ReplyDeleteBoo
Hoo
:'( I love your blog tho! and I love dressing up in Halloween.:)
xoxo!
I love anything and everything Halloween!!!
ReplyDeleteThose candles are so, so lovely!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is picking out pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch! Carving pumpkins has always been something special to me so I love wandering around a pumpkin patch, squishing my feet in the fallen leaves, and finding that perfect pumpkin that isn't quite round, but rather oval shaped so I have more room to carve on!
I'm always a huge fan of pumpkin spice lattes, and Brach's autumn mix of candy corn and mini pumpkins!
Chels xoxo
Um, I can't even remember how many pumpkin spice lattes I've had in the last few weeks....so, I guess that reveals my fave tradition. :)
ReplyDeletepretty pretty!! every sept 1 i make a big event of getting the pumpkin spice latte at sbucks...that's my fav tradition! along with costume planning with my 3 besties!
ReplyDeleteCaramel apple cider, pumpkin cheesecake and the colors of fall. Most of all I look forward to fall clothes...why is everything so much better in fall?
ReplyDeleteRed velvet cheesecake and vanilla berry truffle tea.
ReplyDeleteOh man. So good.
THE CIDER MILL.. is definitely a favorite tradition of mine that i have carried out since childhood.. i love being outside at a farm-like cider mill where there's plenty of trees with falling leaves. Then there is the real deal cider and donuts. I especially like finding a cider mill that has the plain donuts that taste just as good as the sugar ones. :)
ReplyDeleteps my email is cadege5@yahoo.com :)
ReplyDeleteThose candles are lovely! I usually don't have a fall tradition but baking goodies like zucchini bread will be my tradition from now on. I make a pretty mean zucchini bread. :)
ReplyDeletejudy3660@yahoo.com
My favorite things about fall are tights, hot coffee, knitting scarfs, gloves, hats. I also love getting ready for halloween, and decorating the front yard and looking for costumes and getting the candy bags ready for the cute little trick or treaters.
ReplyDeletehttp://brokenbonesmatilda.blogspot.com/
My favorite fall tradition is making loaves of my grandmother's recipe for pumpkin-chocolate-chip bread! The first weekend that really feels "autumnal", I spend a day in the kitchen making loaves for all my friends! I wrap them up and deliver them by hand. My friends have come to expect these loaves each year. It's my way of celebrating friendship -- and a yummy treat! (And of couse, my favorite season: fall!)
ReplyDeleteMy mom has a recipe for the best chili and homemade corn bread. We make it in the morning, put it in the crock-pot all day long, and when we get home, we have a wonderful meal. Eating this and watching Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow.
ReplyDeleteAlso, homemade apple butter, carving pumpkins, scarves and sweaters, s'mores, and pumpkin frozen yogurt. I love autumn! I cannot wait to put that extra quilt on my bed to keep me warm!
My favorite fall tradition is having homemade chili with my family. I also LOVE driving to and from school in Logan, Utah and being able to go through the gorgous canyon with all of the trees!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, what a great idea for candles!! Thanks for the chance to win one, Rachel :)
ReplyDeleteI would have to say my favorite fall tradition is going apple picking and burning pumpkin smelling candles or candles with names like "fall harvest".
My favorite fall indulgence would have to be Pumkin Spice Lattes from Sbucks and pumpkin pie! And stuffing and mashed potatoes :)
cuuute candles!!
ReplyDeleteooooh, carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting? that sounds sooo yummy!
my favorite fall tradition is hands down pumpkin spice lattes, harvest candles from pier 1, and glittered pumpkins to decorate my home. and of course candy corn!!!
Oh Fall! Around here, Fall means trips to the Pumpkin patch (grey pumpkins!!), viewings of my "fall only" movies (Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and Practical Magic), fall colored m&ms, multiple trips to Michaels and hot tea everyday!
ReplyDeleteIn addition, I plan to make:
Pumpkin Curry (Thai style!) out a a REAL pumkin, have a Halloween party on halloween (it's on a Saturday!), make Dustin (Hub) wear a real costume and blog about it all. :D
Yeeep! I love this time of year. <3
xo,
Violet
Ah, yes. Fall! It's a great time of year, especially here in Texas. The weather is still warm, but with a nice breeze. Since my friends and I are all still in college/grad school, it's also a busy time for us, but the first month of November is when our October, November, and December birthdays all get celebrated. Our group picks a major city and spends a weekend there, shopping, seeing the sights, and the nightlife. Besides this tradition, homemade pumpkin pie and cranberry relish show up at the family get-togethers. Can't beat family and good food!
ReplyDeleteMy family owns a pumpkin farm so although fall is one of the busiest times of the year it is also my favorite. I love spending all that quality family time picking & cleaning pumpkins & gourds.
ReplyDeleteAwesome candles!
Anna
I love to make Apple Pie Cider in the fall(alcohol free) nom nom nom!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful candles! I love the soy - I'm burning one right now and it is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is leaf peeping with a pumpkin spice latte in hand. In Colorado you see a lot of the bright yellow aspens but not the full range of reds, oranges, purples, etc that you get back east where my family lives. I really miss the crisp fall air, the beautiful leaves, and going to a football game......
mmmm, definitely the candy corn!! And lots of it!
ReplyDeleteAlicia
super super cute! would look great in my apartment :)
ReplyDeletei love wearing cardigans, flats, boots, scarves, and all things cute for fall :)
My favourite fall tradition is baking pumpkin loaf and gingerbread cookies (you can find the recipes on my blog).
ReplyDeleteMy new favourite drink is also pumpkin spice lattes.
My girls and I also like going for walks to collect leaves.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Enjoy,
Tricia
My favorite fall tradition is going for an evening walk and coming home to hot apple cider. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSince autumn is my favourite time of year we have so many traditions...We go for a fall drive out to Mennonite country to see the change of leaves, we pick pumpkins and apples and then come home and make fresh pumpkin pies and muffins to freeze. We make apple pies and eat more than just the "apple a day" for a l-o-n-g time :) We make wine with my parents that is always something we look forward to and has been a tradition since I was a young child. Roasting chestnuts on sunday afternoons...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Fall...
Have a great day! xx
Hmm...my favorite fall tradition is going hiking every year with the boy at a local state park. It has a lookout and it's all so gorgeous (and not to mention and extra great workout! haha)
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I seem to have started a tradition 2 years ago of picking apples together and taking goofy pictures while doing it. :)
ReplyDeletei love pumpkin-flavored anything! drinking hot cider, wearing layers, the way the leaves smell. in summer, i'm jumping to get out of the house but in fall, i love staying in with a warm cup of something.
ReplyDeleteI love how these candles look - especially with the soy wax. Thanks for a shot at them. My favorite is the smells - cider, leaves, applesauce.
ReplyDeleteKatie
my favorite fall tradition is taking family pictures at a local park. The best part about it was that this year, the kids ASKED to do it. The thing I used to have to coerce them into doing, has now become a tradition they appreciate. Warms my heart.
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite and my birthday is in october, usually celebrated with pumpkin cookies. We are moving into a house this weekend and I cannot wait to decorate for fall!
ReplyDeletepumpkin spice lattes every saturday morning with my husband*pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting*watching all of the Halloween movies in order*sewing dog costumes
ReplyDeletefall is definitely my favorite time of year!
rrmason1@msn.com
i don't know what happened above...but my name is rachel.
ReplyDelete:]
I loove candles! Especially if they're spice scented...=)
ReplyDeleteI live in Florida, so my "fall" is different. It doesn't really get cool until later, like October. So my FAVORITE thing to do is when I can FINALLY break out my hoodies, sweaters, and socks and bundle up! I love it. =)
thesweetestpetunia[at]gmail[dot]com
oh so neat! i just did a post about favorite fall stuff! my favorite tradition in fall is our families "pumpkin day" we all get together for a nice breakfast,then head to the pumpkin patch.so much fun!so very "fall" :)
ReplyDeletetaking walks outdoors. baking with yams, apples, autumnal squash, and pumpkin. i love autumn!
ReplyDeletecarissagallo@me.com
Autumn time means beautiful hikes in the mountains with all the colorful leaves and Pumpkin Choc-Chip cookies!!! I look forward to them every year and only have them in the fall. Can't wait to make my first batch!
ReplyDeleteHow fun is this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall traditions are drinking coffee, going camping, wearing warm clothes and making pumpkin bread!
My favorite fall tradition is still carving pumpkins and making spiced apple cider. And this year my boyfriend and I are adding apple picking to our traditions!
ReplyDeleteMy guilty fall pleasure is Pumpkin Spice muffins with creamcheese topping and candied pepitas on top.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm.... the breakfast of champions! =P
Favorite fall tradition is when the entire family roadtrips to Bala, Ontario for the annual cranberry festival (http://www.balacranberryfestival.on.ca/)
Love those candles! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is getting together with the women in my family to make tamales. We spend the whole day cooking, laughing, listening to music, and of course, eating. The tamales are our standard Christmas Eve dinner, but we have to test a few before we freeze the rest until December 24! It's a tradition that has happened in our family (and many other Mexican families) for geneations, and I hope to help carry it on for many more years to come.

My favorite fall tradition is either the pumpkin pie chai latte or the hot chocolate :) Mmmm good!!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

thekrumms@gmail.com
I absolutely LOVE those candles!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition would have to be going to pick out pumpkins! I love fall colors, especially orange, and enjoy anything having to do with pumpkins either to decorate with or eat! I think I'll start a new tradition this year by going to get a Pumpkin Pie Concrete at Andy's as I read they put a whole piece of pie in the custard. Oh my! :)
My favorite fall tradition is the day after Thanksgiving. My mother's side of the family (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents) all get together to make hard tack candy. We spend the entire day working and then give it out for the Holidays.
ReplyDeleteMy fall craving is definitely lattes. Pumpkin spice, toffee nut, hazelnut, even tea lattes.
My fall guilty pleasure is eating caramel apple suckers. If you have never had them, definitely try them. They are magic!
ReplyDeletepick me!
ReplyDeleteMy fav is cutting the dry corn stalks down from the garden, tying them together and placing them with pumpkins on the front porch.
Ooh so many fall traditions! I love getting out my hot chocolate maker, carving pumpkins & candy corn of course!
ReplyDeletecac922@cccb.edu
anne esquibel,
ReplyDeleteI have a funny story about cider in ENgland. I was living with a host family for a year right out of high school and saw their 1 Liter bottle of cider on the counter with a woodpecker on it and decided I'd like some. I poured myself a good sized glass before smelling it and only realized it was alcoholic after I'd had a large drink!
My fall traditions are always putting new leave swags on my front porch swing, redecorating my living room (doing it this Friday!), making pumpkin anything and right now I'm chugging a delicious pumpkin spice cappuccino because it's a crisp fresh Fall day in KC today.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that adorable candle! what a cool give away!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall treat is a pumpkin spice latte! I also can't wait to pick out a pumpkin :)
Sweaters and hot apple cider! Fall for me equals pumpkin overload. I am especially fond of pumpkin cheesecake. Yummers.
ReplyDeleteSo many Fall things I love- but a few of the top are going to the apple orchard, burning 'yummy' candles so the house is cozy, decorating with leaves and pumpkins, and making all those cool-weather comfort foods that we save for this time of year.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Fall tradition is carving pumpkins with my nephews. They each get their own pumpkin and we have so much fun cleaning out the "guts" and carving the pumpkin. We even roast the seeds and have a yummy snack!
ReplyDelete;)
Well, this is the second fall I'm spending with a family of my own so not many traditions are yet in place, but we love going to harvest festivals and pumpkin patches. This year, a tradition I hope my son will grow to love and continue, we are having a harvest festival 1st birthday party, complete with pumpkin patch at a park. :) I am so excited to put into play all the plans I have! Autumn yummies, Halloween games, and even one of those snazzy photo boards with the faces cut out, in the characters of Jack & Sally. (His favorite movie. He's such a pumpkin baby!)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tradition is to put out a pumkin display on my front porch and then peek out the window and watch the squirrels eat the pumpkins! Last year, they ate the pumpkins literally down to the stalk (which fell into my flower bed) and the very bottom (which was like an orange disk on my porch). At first I was mad, but then I decided it was more entertaining to watch their antics and live and let live.
ReplyDeleteI think that my favorite fall traditions would include, gold and fuscia scarves, freshly baked dense pumpkin loaf and a hot chai latte, outside, nestled next to my love. And I too enjoy a good caramel apple, preferably with my little sister.
ReplyDeleteemma_marks@yahoo.com
Oh what cute candles! I could snatch up each and every one of them. :)
ReplyDeleteFall is my absolute most favorite time of the year. I love decorating the house with pumpkins and acorns and I love indulging in candy corn mixed with peanuts. Yum!
Those candles are amazing!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition would be getting a hot caramel apple cider from starbucks and going down the street to the park with my hub. We usually walk around and then of course, play in the leaves. I am planning on doing a fall family photoshoot too!
Fave things about fall- College football Saturdays with my husband which provide the perfect setting to (keep attempting) to perfect my chili recipe.
ReplyDeletei have two favs:
ReplyDelete-going to Pier 1 every fall and stocking up on fall scented candles (apple pie, harvest spice YUM)
-planning a harvest hoedown for our church & community, complete with square dancing, pie eating contest, jam judging with blue ribbons for the winners...yay!
Hi Rachel! I hope you are doing well :]
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tradition is taking the family and heading to Silver Dollar City to spend a day shopping around all of the crafty shops because Fall means its the crafts festival! Love love LOVE it!! Chilly weather, bundled up in a thick scarf and drinking hot coffee or cider while shopping and enjoying the day with the fam...what could be better?
Have a great day my friend!
Kim
oh how cute!! i love those.
ReplyDeletemy favourite fall tradition...well, it's not really a tradition but i really just love fall clothes. layering, scarves, the whole shi-bang! i love being cold.
My favorite fall tradition is arranging fall flowers on the dining room table, putting up pumpkin garland on the pillars in our living room, and then tireless rearranging both of these things after the cats have knocked them down daily! oh and pumpkin carving with the bf! i carve a pumpkin to look like him and vice versa. And pumpkin chais from Starb!
ReplyDeleteMy fave fall tradition is something called: pumpkin roll....my sisters make it...all I know it's pumpkin something with cream cheese rolled in it and it is delectable and of course pumpkin pie...I can't help myself when either of these are around!
ReplyDeleteoh man..my favorite guilty pleasure is pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice, and of course, hot apple cider. mmmmm...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Fall traditions are buying a huge pumpkin for the front porch and pulling all of my fall and winter clothes out of storage. It's like shopping without the spending.
ReplyDeleteOh, and my guilty pleasure is Brach's Autumn Mix. I think I have already devoured two bags! eep...
Caramel Apple Spice from Starbucks and a walk in the park with Husband and Dexter (our dog)... by far my fave! Oh, and cute candles! Such a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Fall tradition is drinking hot chocolate to warm up. Taking pictures in the leaves. This year we actually get to go to a Halloween party. Its been a while. At age 12 my son thinks he's too old for Halloween but a party is different. He is going with his whole baseball team and actually going trick or treating. It will be fun for the whole family.
ReplyDeleteI have read your blog for quite some time but have never commented.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall traditions are to make new scarves, curl on on the couch with lit candles, visit our local pumpkin patch, and make a pumpkin snow man with white pumpkins. I love fall!
courtneykimsey@gmail.com
My favorite (grownup) fall tradition is spiced wine simmering on the stove!
ReplyDeletewow cool! mine is pumpkin spice latte! :)
ReplyDeleteThese candles are too cute. I love the idea. My favorite autumn tradition is going for drives in the country and watching all the leaves turned pretty colours. Also stopping along a few farm markets and picking up some home baked pie...mmm...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is baking. I love to bake when the weather gets cool and the leaves begin to change colors....that is also my guilty pleasure...As I love eating what I bake.
ReplyDeleteThere is a local candy store in Memphis, Dinstuhls, that makes delicious apples dipped in caramel, chocolate, and then swirled in nuts. They are out of this world. And now I think I'll go get one on my lunch break :) lesliepoe.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteMy favourite tradition is having the entire family over for thanksgiving, with tons of turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie! MMMM. It's the reason that fall is my favourite season!!
ReplyDeleteWe started a new tradition this year..now that we finally have a fireplace. I put large autumn-scented candles in the fireplace...love the warm glow as well as the smells of cinnamon, pumpkin pie, etc!
ReplyDeleteI am a totally coffee addict so one of the things I look forward to the most in Fall is soy gingerbread and pumpkin lattes. I also start my quest for the perfect pair of winter boots... This has been a personal tradition of mine for over 5 years and I have YET to find the perfect pair!
ReplyDeleteNothing guilty about it, but my two fall favorite indulgences are new boots (lately, flat, riding-style boots) and caramel apple cider - the only "frou frou" drink I ever order at starbucks ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful candles! My favorite fall traditions are trips to the pumpkin patch, pumpkin spice lattes, hot apple cider (with rum when appropriate), and halloween! Happy Fall!
ReplyDeleteMaking Pumpkin Spice Lattes a part of my daily diet.:)
ReplyDeletelove pumpkin spice latte's
ReplyDeletecandy corn

I'm with you, Rachel. My sweet tooth goes into overdrive this time of year =)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and Halloween makes me LOVE fall!
Those candles are amazing!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is making a soup. This to me signals that is truely is fall. My favorites are creamy potato soup and chilli! I also love hitting the pumpkin patch and finding that perfect pumpkin to carve!
I lovelove going to the pumpkin patch and picking out the perfect one. Thanks:)
ReplyDeleteI would definitely have to say that my fave thing to do every fall is go around to various stores just to experience the many wonderful scents that fall brings. There is no other season like it. We usually get those scented pine cones that tend to pop up everywhere. YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is just cozying up the home with blankets, candles, fun music and tasty dinners.
Gussy
my absolute favorite fall tradition is haunted house... even though i'm always the one getting everyone together for it and i always chicken out! haha, i'm a big baby, maybe this year i'll not be such a chicken! my other fall favorites are finding the biggest, brightest leaves, and definitely lots of hot apple cider on the porch and pumpkin picking :o)
ReplyDeletelayiing in bed and eatings tons and tons of candy corn and listening to explosions in the sky :)
ReplyDeletegoing to a nearby apple orchard/petting farm/pumpkin patch/playground with my kids...we've done it every year now for at least 7 years. It's a great fall family tradition.
ReplyDeleteFall is my all time favorite season so it is hard to pick one favorite thing... but if I must I would say that it is going to this great local farm to pick pumpkins each year. They have a great little farmers market and lots of other attractions that make for a great fall afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of pumpkin pie but I do love a good pumpkin spice cake or roll and OF COURSE love the pumpkin spice latte :)
We have an Octoberfest at our house every year. With brats, pretzels, sauerkruat, apple cider, german beer, etc. We also bowl with pumpkins. This year I plan to have it all outside since our backyard is finished. So I will get some hay bales for every one to sit on and decorate with some fall leaves and pumpkins from the garden.
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite! My birthday is in October and my mom always makes me 2 pumpkin pies. I eat about half while I'm at her house and then I take one home. I snag a whipped cream can (the really good for you homemade kind) from my cafe and I eat the pie topped with whipped cream all week for dinner. sometimes I share... YUM!
ReplyDeletethose candles are soooooo pretty! I hope I win. Anywho, my favorite fall tradition for this time of year is making homemade vanilla chai tea lattes. And getting a pretty pumpkin spice or baked apple candle and burning it until there isn't anymore to burn. I also love this time of year because it's scarf season. my grandma sends me knitted scarves every other year! Oh, and when the leaves change color and fall to the grass. I love the contrast of the red, orange and yellow leaves against the green grass.

I love that the season brings revitalization to my cooking... summer schedules slow and there's an abundance of apples, pumpkins, all around! I also love the farmers market in the fall....
ReplyDeletei have all kinds of fall guilty pleasures...candy corn, dunkin donuts pumpkin spice muffin, lots of homemade apple crisp, caramel apples...mmm!
ReplyDeletewith halloween coming, I love to eat candy corn and tootsie rolls! yum!
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite is making homemade Halloween costumes for my four little ones, then parading them around town!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Autumn tradition is going to the pumpkin patch for pictures, and drinking hot cocoa. :)
ReplyDeleteEvery week before Halloween, my mom's boyfriend buys 10 to 15 pumpkins & asks me to carve them all. It's exhausting but I love it.
ReplyDeleteGoing apple picking, drinking cider, carving pumpkins & roasting the seeds, and having game nights with a fire in the fireplace!

ReplyDeleteCarving pumpkins with my own designs and then roasting the seeds (LOVE THEM) and making soup with the pumpkin chunks. I love using every last bit of the pumpkin!
What oh what to carve this year? Hmm...
those candles are beauties. (:
ReplyDeletemy favourite fall tradition is taking walks through the woods as the leaves change! so breath-taking! i also love cozy sweaters and colourful scarves (i wear these all year round if i can, but something about autumn makes each so much sweeter!)
a yummy fall candle! oh boy! i just loooooove fall! my favorite tradition would hafta be taking my girls & my nephews to the pumpkin patch! their little eyes light up with all those cute pun'kins :)
ReplyDeleteMy candle supply is getting low :)
ReplyDeleteI love love lvoe Pumpkin Lattes and am trying to find a way to make them at home cause they're getting way too pricey!
i love going outside for picnics. I live in florida so fall is a great change around here. Not so hot and humid. We spend so much time outside in the fall. We always go pick our pumpkins at our pumpkin patch. SO much fun.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall memory is playing in the leaves with my brother, sister and dog growing up and being able to bike through state parks during peak color time. Now that I live in Florida I especially miss it!

My favorite fall tradition is having a harvest party with all of our friends. My guilty pleasure is definitely eating punpkin bread like it's going out of style~
ReplyDeleteooh la la! those candles are lovely.
ReplyDeletemy favorite fall tradition and my favorite guilty pleasure go together! every year my family and i visit my grandparent's pumpkin patch in upstate new york. [ pickapumpkin.com ] northern new york is GORGEOUS in the fall, and the farm is so much fun. i love seeing my extended family. and my autumn guilty pleasure is the apple cider donuts and hot chocolate that we sell there--SO DELICIOUS!! happy autumn :]
xoxo, emily v. from new jersey
I love sitting outside by the fire with my friends and enjoying something warm to drink. Fall is the best.
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes yes! Candy Corn!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I am on a diet so i will just say those reeseeee pumpkins are da yummy!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I love about fall is getting out the decor with my boys and letting them put them all up, they seem to love it and I hope they remember these times years from now when they have children...Sigh...!
I love to leave the windows open at night. The cool air in the morning is lovely...but I mainly like it because I can hear the roosters rooting and the horses naying in the distance. Fall in Walla Walla is the best!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing is the trip to the apple orchard where we take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch to find our very own pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is decorating. Also to be able to open the windows after a sweltering summer (we don't have a "real winter" here so I look forward to opening the windows. Also all the cinnamon and apple and pumpkin spice smells. I am so looking forward to getting my pumpkin spice smelling candles. My favorite treats would have to also be carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Also a hearty stew or soup. Or curled up under one of my mom's amazing crocheted blankets. So excited about this season.
ReplyDeletemy FAVORITE Fall tradition is going apple picking with my boyfriend. We lay down in the orchard and just soak in the amazing-ness of fall! We always buy a pumpkin too! And we go home, make apple crisp, and cook the pumpkin seeds! :)
ReplyDeleteI love making clove encrusted oranges. Sounds odd huh? I first made them in Girl Scouts eons ago, have loved the scent ever since. You basically take an order and toe a thin ribbon or string around it and push in whole cloves. Then hang them where ever you want that fantastic smell. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE these candles!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is carvin pumpkins with my little cousin. He's getting older now and I will certainly miss it when he is no longer interested :(
The pumpkin spice lattes just make the whole thing better :)
my favorite tradition is getting new scarves for the season and my favorite treat is when Starbucks gets their pumpkin favored treats
ReplyDeleteYay
oh the candles are beautiful! my favorite fall traditions are jumping in piles of leaves, making caramel apples and ordering soy hot chocolates from starbucks.
ReplyDeletecrystalmwa@gmail.com
My favorite tradition is "family" Thanksgiving. It started my freshman year of college when a few of us had to travel too far to go home so we stayed and made Thanksgiving dinner in the dorm. Over the last three years it's grown to be a really big deal. This last year we had five different ovens going over a 12 hour period in preparation! We all make a recipe passed down by our grandmothers. We all gather around a table (which our freshman year was a ping pong table in the basement) and put pumpkins in the middle of the table for decoration.

ReplyDeletei have two traditions! one is to pick out a pumpkin from a local pumpkin patch! i've done this with m family every fall since i was little. the other is visit my grandma in silver city, new mexico.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is the trip to the Pumpkin Patch. I love snapping pics of my little one with the pumpkins and comparing them to the previous years.
ReplyDeleteI have been hoarding soup recipes lately. Would you be interested in sharing yours? One of my favorite things to do is take a blanket out on the back deck and sit in the late evening and just relax. I also love hot cocoa!
ReplyDeletePumpkin spice lattes and knitting. That's all I want to do during autumn. Knit and drink my delicious pumpkin drink :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, those candles look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite autumn tradition is going to Linvilla Orchards, which is a place near my house that has a pumpkin patch in October. You can pick your own pumpkins, drink hot apple cider and jump in the hay :)
My favorite fall tradition is carving pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteHay mazes and pumpkin pie
My favorite thing about fall is starting to play Christmas music the day after Halloween. Seriously, I love it!! Also, pumpkin pound cake with cream cheese frosting. That may be breakfast tomorrow...
ReplyDeletecraving pumpkins, apple picking, Halloween decorating, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin-carrot bread with cream cheese frosting...
ReplyDeleteooo yay!
ReplyDeleteok my fave guilty pleasure... candy corn and peanuts right now, or is it caramels, or could it pumpkin spice lattes, or maybe... hmmm... YES CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES! (made them from scratch just a week ago! mmmm for cream cheese frosting!)

My fav fall tradition is camel apple - so yummy!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is raking the leaves with my sister...it sounds like a chore but we always keep it from being a bore. =D
ReplyDeleteI love mixing peanuts and candy corn and picking out the perfect pumpkin for the front porch!
ReplyDeleteI love fall. I love getting ready for halloween, to get dressed up and be silly with my children. I also love to sneak some of their candy. They do not need all of it, so I really am doing them a service. :)
ReplyDeletefavorite fall tradition would have to be pumpkin bread, hot cider and scarves on a chilly morning! lovely candles, such a cute idea!
ReplyDeletebeautiful candles!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall guilty pleasures are candy corn, peanut butter kisses, and two-bite pumpkin pies <3 yummy!
Love those candles!
ReplyDeleteCandles are a BIG part of our holiday tradition.... currently we have pumpkin aroma filling the house along w/the windows open and a fresh cool breeze filling the house too!
Pumpkin pie that is made w/creamchesse is my favorite holiday tradtion as well as a yummy sweet potatoe casserole that we make that has walnuts, brown sugar and is topped w/powdered sugar. It's more like a dessert than side dish but it's my favorite!!! xo
Fall is my favorite season of all. I wish I could live in a land of fall! My favorite tradition is fall decorating, making pumpkin bread and pumpkin butter (anything pumpkin flavored really). Also, every fall, I get a "happy" sweater to kick off the season just right!
ReplyDeleteHope your last month of pregnancy goes smoothly! Thanks for the giveaway!
Fall is my favorite season. I love all things pumpkin and cinnamon. The smells, tates and sights! I love the halloween cartoons and especially pumpkin pie!
ReplyDeleteEvery year our little family of five piles in the car and heads to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins and have photo ops. We try to do this with my Dad every year - the kids LOVE their grandpa! I also love making homemade chili and cornbread on a cool evening, decorating my house for fall, lighting yummy smelling candles and putting the kids to bed as soon as it gets dark so the hus and I can cuddle up and watch a movie. Oh, and of course I LOVE dressing for fall with scarves, sweaters from Anthropologie and cute boots. I just wish I lived in a place where it would get colder!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!!

My favorite fall treat...the pumpkin scones at Starbucks...oh the pleasure I get from them!
ReplyDeletefavorite fall treat...ANYTHING warm and pumpkin. Beverage, muffin, bread, annnnything.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had one yet either this year. its cold and raining and windy and I'm thinking today might be the day to start ;)
my favorite fall tradition is hanging skeleton girl..(from elsie)
ReplyDeletewho'a wearing a little pink tutu on my red door..the kids all giggle and smile when I bring her out..love love the fall!!!
My favorite fall tradition is decorating for Halloween! My parents started seriously decorating my house for Halloween when I was in junior high school, and I only really appreciated how awesome it is when I was away for school. We are now THAT house on the block that all the kids come to for Trick-or-Treating. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition when I was a kid was helping my parents rake leaves (a chore I never whined about doing) into a huge pile, then jumping belly-flop style into them over and over again. The warm colors, the textural cruuunch of the leaves, and, oh, the smell...
ReplyDeleteNow, it's my favorite fall tradition to watch as my little cousins perform the same time-honored ritual.
My favorite thing about fall is defiantly the color palette that comes with it. I love the chilly frosty morning accompanied by a hot cut of hot tea. I love cuddling my dog while reading a book guilt free cause the weather is so bad. I love watching the snow get lower and lower on the mountains. Oh yeah and the apple pie, I love apple pie.

Wow-cool giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the candles!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is driving up into the mountains to see the aspens turn. They're gorgeous!
Definitely making spiced apple cider (with Mulling Spices) and sipping it while I read (and it's chilly outside)!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite fall tradition is making a hot drink and listening to the rain and making candy apples and eating them. And making Halloween treats for my kiddo. :)
ReplyDeletei love to take my son to star bucks where we share an apple fritter and drink a signature hot chocolate. then we come home and build a fire in our outdoor fireplace and roast marshmallows for s'mores... yum!!!
ReplyDeleteAttending the Columbus Day fair!
ReplyDeleteA small town in Massachusetts nestled between "the five colleges" turns Columbus Day weekend into a three-day-long weekend of tag sales and a craft fair. The craft fair is set up on the village common and the shops surrounding it open their doors to everyone to step in when the crisp air gets to be too much. I'm looking forward to carry around a chai latte with me while I browse with friends all of the crafts and meander down College Street stopping in every driveway to browse the tag sale goods.
Oh my, favorite Fall tradition....
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the beautiful trees and drinking at least one cup of mind-blowingly amazing apple cider! :-) Ah, but I adore everything else about Fall as well! Like there are certain movies that are best watched during the Fall, like You've Got Mail. Always have to make sure to go down the Fall movie list!
The candles are so unique! Count me in! www.eandkmcg.wordpress.com
Those are beyond gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI meant to enter earlier...hope I'm not too late!
I am completely in love with fall. But one of my favorite fall traditions...
Has to be just the colors that you start to see everywhere. Such rich, luxurious colors! And the combination of color you start to see in your own backyard. Our backyard ends up looking like a painting, it's beautiful.
Oh. And picking golden rod and putting them in mason jars.
My favorite fall tradition is Fort Verde days. We get up early and either get ready to be in the parade or just go to watch it. For as long as i can remember we have went to Fort Verde days. My grandma used to ride her horse in the parade and I would ride on the pooper scooper 4 wheeler and throw candy and we always got to dress up as something fun. After the parade is over we go to the carnival and ride the rides and eat all the fun food from homemade fry bread to homemade ice cream. There is a bull ride and dance in the evening and the kids get to ride sheep during the day. My cousin even makes it a holiday that her and her ex have to split the custody of their son over.I just cant imagine my fall without it.

Salted Caramel hot chocolate from Starbucks...mmm!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about fall is pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and the smell of the air and the leaves in the evening.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall tradition is a fairly new one - but delicious! This is the time of year where every coffee shop has a pumpkin flavored drink or treat, and pumpkin flavored creamer is available in the stores. There is little better than a crisp morning spent with a book and pumpkin coffee.
ReplyDeleteMy dad used to take my sister and I "conkering" in the fall. Conkers are the Brit word for chestnuts. He had an old army bag and we would go to the part of town that had the most chestnut trees and fill up the sack. We did the same with acorns.
ReplyDeleteI do this with my daughter now......the little acorn caps make sweet doll or fairy bowls.
mmm. pumpkin spice lattes, carmel apple cider, naps on quilts in the park, knitting, long walks in the crisp air...i want fall to hit california! please, mister weather man...
