Hey all you amazing nesters! I’m so impressed by the fall ideas you all have shared so far! Everything from decorating ideas, organization, home makeovers to baking bread and beyond. It is so inspiring! Nesting is in FULL FORCE in blogland. More ideas are being added so keep checking the links on the Welcome to Fall Nesting Week post!
I was telling some folks that I start summerizing my house in about April. So for six or seven months I am celebrating summer, but then I usually try to cram fall into about four weeks. Not good, since Fall is my favorite season! So, GIVE FALL A FAIR CHANCE! START NESTING NOW!
Even Martha Stewart got into the action for Fall Nesting Week (did you see her link on Mr. Linky?). We Domestic Divas need to support each other!
THE BLISSFULLY DOMESTIC RELAUNCH
Now, yesterday was supposed to the official relaunch of Blissfully Domestic. But as with all things technical, issues occurred. Some of us got a peek, some didn’t. It just wasn’t fair. But, things happen. Did I tell you about my own blog relaunch last week? For 15 hours all you could see was an alligator where my blog used to be! Nice! Then, for awhile all you could see was a page that said, “WHOA, DUDE, SURFING IS DANGEROUS!” You just have to have a sense of humor about these things. But have no fear, next Monday Blissfully Domestic will relaunch for real!
THE GIVEAWAY
While I will be postponing the amazon.com gift certificate giveaway until Blissfully Domestic launches next week, I have a little giveaway for YOU all this week, because I like you. So how about this book to tide us over until next week, eh?
All you have to do is leave me a comment here on this post with your email address, deadline is will be Sunday September 7th at 9pm PST.
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
STAY TUNED FOR ANOTHER GIVEAWAY!
NOTE: If you link The Inspired Room up in your blogroll with my NEW address, I give you a bonus entry. Because then I know we are really friends!
And, by the way, THANK YOU to those of you who have gone over and VOTED for me on Divine Caroline! So nice of you, I’m so touched! It really is an honor to be nominated and thought of! If you enjoy The Inspired Room, I appreciate the support as always.
So, carry on, dear nesters!
It is not too late to join in the Fall Nesting party!
We are just getting warmed up!

I absoulutely loved all of the pumpkins running up your steps. I am eager to have some for my doorway, but alas in the south I must wait until October or they will spoil and disolve in a mushy puddle. I am going to do mine in October, and am thinking of something artificial until then. Thanks for the great inspiration. Deb
This book looks wonderful. It would compliment my deep love for the pumpkin.

Pumpkin Pink Cottages last blog post..Wahoo look what I found…Talk about Ideas
I do love fall but let’s not rush it! I live in Maine and know it will be cold for long enough–if the trees already starting to change colors and the acorns dropping at an amazing rate –are any indication. You have inspired me to look for pumpkins at farmers market this week but it’s still summer and I plan to enjoy the warm days as long as possible!
I do love your photos and will try to link my long neglected blog to yours later today, but now I’m going to ride my bike and enjoy the sun.
Loving the pumpkins! Please enter me in your giveaway…and of course I have your linked on my blogroll!!

Hi Melissa, my blogroll was updated immediately! I didn’t want to miss a single thing here at The Inspired Room. Winter comes soon enough here in Vermont too but there’s no doubting that fall is on it’s glorious way. Please sign me up for the Pumpkin book giveaway. Thanks for being so generous! I’ll jump in with nesting posts in a day or so. This is fun! ~Kathy

Melissa,
What a great idea! Where I live in Florida, we don’t really have Fall, so I can enjoy it vicariously through your posts!

Wow, you’re really on a roll with your new blog. Lots of goodies and new things to check out.
Lisas last blog post..Oh, Baby!
“Fall is a state of mind and being…” Do I sound poetic?

That got me thinking…..fall is my favorite time of the year too. And when Christmas gets here I’m always anxiuos to decorate for that too so fall kinda gets the short end of the stick. And I’ve been mentioning to others that I’m ready to decorate already and they keep saying “Oh no not yet” But to heck with them. I’m divin’ in!
Hi Melissa,
Oh orange, the popiest color and my favorite one. So I HEART pumpkins, and soon the time will come to decorate our homes. I’d love to be lucky and big THANKS for this kind & thoughtful opportunity to win.
And, you’re already linked in my Daisy Friends ”Blogroll” list, and time to time I love to jump here and see your beauties.
Have a beautiful day & Miles of Smiles.

My eyes just lit up when I saw that book, what a great give away. I love Fall, it is my favorite time of year and I haven’t started to decorate yet (until I get back from Washington) so maybe I’ll win and there will be cute ideas in there that I can use.
