Fall porch decorating Part II {Newbie party started}
Did you really think I could just stop here with my Fall porch decorating?
NOPE, I had to take it up a notch, and spruce it up a tad more.
That was then, and this is Now...
I found some White pumpkins at Michaels for 50% off.
I of course had to embellish them a bit...
Bats, spiders, mice...
The mice are these rub ons, not thrilled how they crackled, but it makes them look aged I suppose. The bats, and spider embellishments came from the Dollar tree.
I found these RATS at the dollar tree as well, thought they were cute!
If Rats can be cute.
The windows, also got a little touch of mice and spiders.
These are from last year, the Martha Stewart line.
What would Fall really be without a little plaid and apples?
Just a few leaf color changes so far on our Japanese maple.
Now that I am finished with Fall decor on the porch, I must transition into Halloween now.

Let's get this NEWBIE party started!

Your porch looks fantastic, Debbie...So warm and inviting! Can't wait to see what the Newbies come up with this week!
Do you have neighbors or deer who might come up to your porch for the apples? Maybe the mice will scare them off.
What awesome decorations, Debbie! You're porch looks so cool!
Your porch is so inviting and puts me in the Fall spirit!
Okay you all are motivating me. Your photos are so wonderful and inspiring. I have never decorated for fall. Now I am going to do so next weekend for sure. I love everything you have done to get ready for the holidays. My excuse has been I live in the tropics so we don't get fall colors. But that's what Michael's is for. Thanks for hosting the party. Next month is our last month as newbies. I am not going to know what to do with myself on Sundays. Actually that is not true...I will continue to support other newbies. :-)

Your porch is so adorbale, and so inviting. I love the house numbers on the transom, brilliant idea. Your urns are so pretty and the rats add a sense of whimsy, love it! The rocking chairs, I love....wish I had a pair. Thanks so much for sharing! XO ~Liz

Hi Debbie Dear! I love your pretty porch entry. Well, it's not scary - it's darling! The white punkins looks great with your white urns! You do everything just right! ;)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;) got any left over pizza? :)
Beautifully festive layered Fall look, Debbiedoo! If you see someone rocking on your fabulous front porch and munching on a sweet apple, don't worry, it's just me! LOL.
Gorgeous, as usual!! The rats can go back into the woods but all the rest is wonderful. :-)

Your porch looks great! Thanks for hosting the newbees! This is my first time linking! I'm off to check out all the others!
Thank you! Sheila we always have Pizza, and Grammy..the deer do come just that close sometimes.
I love your rockers...look so inviting! And the Pumpkin patch sign is cute! I'm off to visit some of the newbies! I've met some of the sweetest ladies that link with your party! HUGS! ♥♥♥
Hi Debbie! Thanks for the invite to your newbie party:) Your front porch looks great. I love the rockers and the blanket is such a warm cozy touch. Love your mums in the crate too! Carrie
I'm not at all surprised that you kept going, Debbie. Great ideas, as always. I just made my last link to the Newbie Party (sniff sniff). Thanks for always being such a fab host. You ROCK!
xoxoRosemary
P.S. Mentioned you.
Thanks for hosting, Debbie. That stadium blankie on your porch sure looks cozy! Can we come over and curl up?? :) andrea@townandprairie
Your porch looks so warm and festive and just perfect for fall! I have not been by to visit very much recently, but I promise to change that.
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Your porch is absolutely gorgeous. I also love your brick house. The bats, mice and spiders are all so cute. We don't get many young ones in our neighborhood since we live in an area with maninly retired people. Just not enough young ones to enjoy a lot of Halloween decor. I love the apples and the mums too. So pretty. Great porch. Hugs, Marty
Love all your fall details, even the mice! That plaid blanket hanging on the rocker is a great touch.
Your porch looks beautiful! Those rats are so funny - I bet my kids would love them! I haven't even started my front porch but now that October has arrived I feel like I am behind! It was so warm in September that it was hard for me to get in the mood. It was chilly today though so it finally feels like fall! Hope you enjoyed your weekend!
-Shelley
I love your porch, and those bats are scaryyyy...Im home and exhausted but had to drop by and see what your up to
Your porch looks so inviting. I just want to come and rock the afternoon away on it, while reading blogs on the laptop and having some apple cider! Really like the throw, crate, wreath, etc. I have porch envy. ;o) Wish I had a space like that to decorate! When I did, I didn't do it justice.
p.s. And I couldn't agree more a/b word verification.
Thanks again for hosting! Your porch looks awesome! You're very talented.
looking nice and cozy...nothing wrong with a little tweeking..i am ready to sit back and relax with some warm cocoa while rocking in your chair..
Hi Debbie, your porch is gorgeous! I LOVE your urns!!! You sure are one busy lady.
Have a wonderful day,
Gail
Inspiring porch with bright maple leaves, pumpkins...... Everything in your hands transformed to a fairy land. You played the magic. Even the rats are lovely.

Hi Debbie,
I love your front porch, it's fantastic.
I found your blog through The Girl Creative.
I was pleasantly surprised to see you also have a link party of your own!
I have linked up! I've been blogging for a little over a month and I'm loving every minute of it. If you have time stop by!
Following you now as well.
Deb,
Your front porch looks lovely!! I think the white pumpkins with the rub on's look fantastic!! I like the crackled aged look!!
Hugs,
Deb
Cute porch-I love the rats! I really like the white urns, they show up much better.
I love your white pumpkins with the black spiders, bats and mice on them! That's such a great idea. I've never seen that done before. Your porch looks so welcoming (except for the rats that would greet me going up the stairs) Ha! Actually, I love that idea too. It's unexpected. I just now got some bright yellow mums to put in my hanging basket and will get some pansies later today. Slowly but surely it's coming along.
You really know how to take it to the next level! Awesome fall porch! Off to visit some newbies.
Your porch looks great ! I bought some of those rats too...Haven't put them out yet !
