Fall nesting is seriously underway at my house. I didn’t think I was necessarily in the “nesting mood” quite yet, but things were getting a little out of hand around my house after the wedding and busy summer. Once I got myself going, I really felt inspired to settle back into my fall routine.
Sometime Tuesday we will kick off the Fall Nesting Week festivities, but I wanted to get our favorite Mr. Linky up and ready for those of you who are ready to go! You can link up any post from your blog this week to show us how you are getting ready for fall, nesting, or general cleaning & organizing for the upcoming season. And you Aussies can play along too, nesting is not limited to Fall! Or, show us last Fall’s activities if you’d like!
› Need some inspiration in a hurry?
Not to worry. These should inspire you:

- SWEET COTTAGE DREAMS: FALL DECORATING IDEAS

Ok, now its YOUR turn! Get NESTING and while you are at it, share it with the rest of us! Leave a comment to let us know what you are up to and link a post up to Mr. Linky! Then come back all week to find new inspiration! I’ll be posting articles, tips, links, photos and whatever I find to help motivate & inspire us to get the new season started! Including MORE reader ideas! Plus, we’ll be joining up with Blissfully Domestic to celebrate the big relaunch of the magazine with an amazon.com gift card giveaway from me to you. Details to come! Now, get nesting!
READY, SET, NEST!

Pumpkin Pink Cottages last blog post..Dinner Anyone? Fall Dinner Party.
Loving these ideas – thanx a bunch!
My fall nesting projects have an additional “challenge”: I can’t buy anything new…
It ‘s the time for me to go “shopping” inside my closets and outside the house – gifts from nature, the garden, treats that have been hiding forgotten in boxes and closets. Or sometimes in plain view…
This weekend I’m doing my Fall nesting be hauling everything out of my closets, drawers, linen closets and pantry. Simplifying helps me see what I have and makes my life just a little easier. You can’t wear/use what you can’t see!
Thank you for a beautiful and inspiring blog!
I’m really ready for some cool nesting weather . I love fall . Love to sort out and give away those thing not needed . Love to get out those fall colors . I haven’t posted any thing fall . I better get going .I be back when I do .

Mary/Mariahs last blog post..I know who holds tomorrow
I’m going to do some fall nesting today. I will have photos and posts up by this evening, as I have just gotten new computer, camera, and scanner and I’m still trying to figure everything out. Fall is my favorite time of year, and all my decorations are from walmart, or garage sales.

I love your site! It is always fun to read the great tips and ideas posted by you and by those who visit your site. It is also really easy to lose track of time (and therefore ignore the laundry and the dishes) while I bounce back and forth to all of the great links! Love it!

This is so much fun! Inspiration everywhere! Thank you for hosting such a wonderful get together!
Sarahs last blog post..Come To Jesus
Fall in Las Vegas does not offer much seasonal inspiration so you have to really search within to find it. I like to take out my favorite old cookbooks and holiday decor books and look for new inspiration.
Love all the great inspiration, count me in!
Thank You Melissa for mentioning my blog in your Fall Nesting post!
I love Fall and all of the decorating possibilities it has to offer.
Blessings,
Carol
I have been doing some fall decorating. Not done yet. But I have been having fun posting what I have done. I just love your site.
