These are photo's I took in the master bedroom.

 Here are some pictures of my kitchen...

Here are a few more shoots of my office....

This is a homemade pumpkin dress, NOT made by me. I sure do love it. This is also in my office. I will show you a close up of this beautiful dress. I did get this from a swap a few years back....

Some more pictures of our livingroom.

Here are some fall touches in our main bathroom...

Here are just some fall touches in our homestead...

I have to have corn candy or it doesn't feel like fall time, but I have to say if I can keep it for a few days I will be lucky. It is Mr. Hillcrest's favorite candy for the fall. I am sure I will be buying a few more bags in a week!

The last few pictures is of my new dough boy in our livingroom that I bought last year and how I decorated it.

 So there you go. A few pictures of some fall time dispays at Hillcrest Home Prims.

I am ready to enjoy the fall and here is why.

I really enjoy fall time for theses reasons, but my close friends here on my blog know that Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday and I go ALL OUT and I do decorate early. I think it depends on you and your family on when to start to decorate for your favorite holiday.

Remember it is your homestead, there is no wrong time or right time to decorate for the holiday you hold dear to your heart.

I hope you enjoyed my post.

Till next time my Prims

Be kind to each other and give your love ones

those extra hugs and kisses and I LOVE YOU'S!!!!!

Fall Blessings,

Tricia
