Day Six; Scent-sational Fall:




Decorating does cover all the senses. I especially love the fall scents of apple, cinnamon, pumpkin and even burning leaves (remember!).



Today I took a quick trip to Bath and Bodyworks. I found many temptations, but kept to my budget. I’ve transformed the ambiance of the home with a number of nice candles and air fresheners. If you shop the sale, it doesn’t take much to get the home smelling seasonal.



I also reviewed my Halloween boxes from years past. If you keep them labeled, it makes it easy to pick and choose. I’m starting out simply, and adding to it every week to keep it fresh. Take a peek at where I am this week with the front entry.

Mr. pumpkin.

Holiday foliage.

How do you prepare for the holidays?

Day three!

Thirty-one days of fabulous fall update. Today it’s the mantel reveal, hopefully it will be a crowd pleaser. If you’re lucky enough to have one, the fireplace mantel is the natural focal point of your floor plan. This years inspiration came from a garage-sale’s roll of moss; cost $1.00! The blackbirds are from the past (my collection). Wasn’t sure if they would make the cut, but couldn’t keep them in the box, they demanded my attention. Gourds and pumpkins were purchased with coupons from a big-box store, along with the orange glass bulbs. The rest was in “inventory” (normally purchased post-holiday). How’s your mantel? Decorated yet? Do you switch it up, or stay with a tried and true theme? Now that the mantel is dressed, Mr. Truffle and I are about to share a glass of wine. Hope you are having just as much fun.

Good evening!

Mrs. Truffle will be your tour guide...

Make your home holiday ready with a little imagination.

The branches were FREE!

Do you like the moss?

Texture gives the room personality.

More texture.

I draped the moss on the branches.

Have you had a chance to show off your mantle?

Thirty-one Fabulous Finds:

Welcome! We are Mr. & Mrs. Truffle and we would like to entertain you with 31 days of fall. Looks like we need to dust off a little and get this party started. Yes, we are a bit late tonight, but forgive us; we are old bones that could use some rejuvenation. As you can see, we could use some treats to put some meat on us. So to start off, here’s a fabulous fall cookie recipe. Can you say easy?



Pumpkin Chocolate chip cookies



1 spice cake, boxed cake mix

1 can pumpkin puree, 15 ounce

½ bag chocolate chips

Nuts if desired



Mix all ingredients together.

Spoon onto cookie sheet (I use parchment paper on cookie sheet)

Bake at 350f for 12 to 15 minutes

Fall Comfort Food

A beautiful Michigan fall day:




Fall is upon us, the first signs of are popping up. As the foliage prepares to change, so do our appetites. Here is a look at how we turn to a more comfort food eating style. i.e. meat & potatoes. Though we have had a busy week, Mr. Truffle and I plan on a nice evening. I will be serving grilled beef, baked potato & broccoli. Some good food, and a little rest before the week starts. Please check back as we get our fall on.







I will be joining the following parties this week:
