Favorite Things About Fall

You can't deny it any longer, as of September 23rd it's official: summer is over. That's right folks, it's finally fall. For some of you, this change of seasons might not be your favorite. We can understand that, summer is sunny and relaxing and fall is busy and cold. But fall doesn't deserve the rap it gets - it just has a hard act to follow. In fact, there are a lot of really great things that happen between September 23rd to December 21st. Don't believe us? Check out the top six things we love about fall.

1. Colors - Fall is a season that inspires rich hues and deep, earthy tones. We love spring pastels and summer's bright palette, but fall brings out such luxurious colors.

2. Decor - Seasonal interior and exterior decorations begin with fall and continue through the winter. Creating charming table settings, front doors, porches, and entryways is a great tradition. We know you can't wait to light your jack-o-lanterns and then deck the halls.

3. Fashion - There's something comforting, comfortable, and chic about sweater weather.

4. Pumpkin Spice - Add it to lattes, muffins, bagels, donuts, cakes, pies, ice cream, bread, whatever you can think of really...it's all good!

5. Holidays - Trick or treaters and being thankful are some of the best parts of fall. Too much candy, too much turkey, too much fun.

Autumn Craft Challenge

Here at Marketplace Events we love getting crafty. We’ve done pumpkin paint offs and found lots of eggspiration. We’ve asked you to share your best DIYs and in turn we’ve given you lots of tips and ideas for projects. To celebrate fall we’re following our creative tradition and doing what we love best: an autumn craft challenge. We asked our colleagues to scour the internet and their childhood memories in search of the best autumn crafts for the home. Everyone had a minimal budget and three weeks to create something seasonal. Here’s a taste of what we came up with.

To see all the projects we created visit our Facebook page. Make sure to tell us what you think by voting for your favorite. The winning office will receive bragging rights and a pizza party, so don’t be shy – tell us who you think deserves to win. For more fall project ideas check out our Autumn Craft Challenge board on Pinterest. It has all of the projects we created (and a few others we think would be fun to try).

 

Did you know that connecting with us on Facebook has perks beyond getting to see fun craft challenges and home decor tips? It also gives you access to exclusive discounts! Right now when you like us on Facebook you can get two tickets for the price of one to the Marketplace Events fall home show of your choice. Happy Fall from Markplace Events!
