Prelude to Fall: Great DIY Ideas and Photography

Prelude to Fall: Great DIY Ideas and Photography

Posted by admin on

Living in the desert, it's really hard to get your fall fix on. So I have to live vicariously throughout the Internet, pinterest and my friend Becky whom I try to visit in Indiana during the fall months. The fact that it stays in the 90's for most of the fall season around here does not stop me from my obsession with boots, jackets and big chunky scarves. I make excuses to go out in the cooler evenings just so I can wear them without looking quite so ridiculous. I nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw that one of my favorite bands, Calexico is coming to Flagstaff and Prescott in October where it is much, much cooler than here in Phoenix. 

I'm already packing. 

These are some of my favorite fall photos and projects   I've been collecting from all over the web. What did I do before Pinterest?
