When I was visiting my family last week, I got a chance to go to JoAnn Fabrics (we have one nearby as well, but I don’t get to visit very often).  I was thrilled to see that they already had all of their fall things on display!

Fall is my favorite season and I get so excited thinking about pumpkins, fall leaves, and baking!  Here are some items at JoAnn’s that caught my eye.

I love squirrels, so these little guys really made me smile!  They are made with natural materials and would look so cute on a mantle or in a centerpiece.

This little hanging plaque reads “a season of thanks” and would be fun to recreate with a blank piece of wood, some paint, some scrapbooking paper, and a piece of ribbon. 

This is another “season of thanks” plaque that could be a DIY project!

Loved the green/cream floral pattern on these oven mitts and potholders.  They’d look pretty in my kitchen!

Owls again!  This time they were on a tea towel.  Aren’t they just the cutest?

I’m completely enamored with peacocks, so I loved this one (emblazoned on a wall hanging plaque).  The tail feathers are crafted out of paisley designs, which is a fun twist.

This fall-themed bird house would be another easy DIY!  I have some “blank” wooden birdhouses (easily purchased at JoAnn’s or Michael’s for $1/each) that I might paint for fall!

I liked this idea of bedazzling some acorns to add a little glitz to your fall tablescape.  And, of course, the ceramic owl is lovely.

I love making fabric pumpkins (I usually use cotton fabrics), so I smiled when I saw these plush ones made with velvet.  I might try making a few like this this year!

This is a cute little acorn ornament made from fabric, felt, and twine.  It would be another easy DIY!

Last but not least, I liked this little pumpkin ornament (you could leave off the twine if you wanted to) made with a variety of textures of fabrics, from burlap to felt. 

I am excited to start making some fall crafts!  For more fall-related ideas, check out my fall Pinterest board!

P.S. I was not paid or perked in any way by JoAnn Fabrics for this post!  I love window shopping, and I actually didn’t buy anything on this trip!
