Yesterday I checked out the new Threshold collection at Target, featuring fall-perfect pieces to update your home for a cozy season of pumpkin spice lattes and movie nights in front of a roaring fire. You can bring texture into your home with rustic wood trays or candle holders, stay organized with a woven felt basket, add light with a leather strap hanging mirror, or spruce up your mantle with rustic-refined turkey or fox figurines, and velvet pumpkins. Threshold always has a way of making me want to completely redecorate whenever I see a new collection drop, and this one is no exception. Of course I don't act on my impulses, but rather picked up a few pieces from the previous collection which are now on clearance. Sometimes it pays to be patient. I'll be waiting for some of these new fall items to go on sale, too, before I pounce. They're so perfect for Thanksgiving but stylish enough to keep up all season long. See anything you can't wait to bring home? Shop all Threshold here.

Like it or not, Halloween decor is already cropping up in all the stores, including the Target dollar bins. Sometimes I wonder how long we can perpetuate the endless cycle of holidays as a society, but I'll leave that job up to someone more qualified...for your Halloween festivities, Target has some stylish items like tulle decor, glass vials and other assorted vintage-looking jars, some black and white marbelized pieces that are really chic (pumpkin, pillow, tags), as well as signs with cute sayings, newsprint banners, and artwork featuring a very Edgar Allan Poe raven. The more I rummaged, the more I got into the fall holiday spirit. Leaf motifs adorned napkin rings and cookie cutters, adorable ramekins made me think of Thanksgiving meals and of course, all the candy and crafts for kids had my 3-year-old absolutely giddy. I let him fill a pail with some fun finds and reflected on how wonderful this time as a parent truly is, when you can take your kid to the dollar spot at Target and it's like Disneyland to them! Scroll through my pics and tell me what you're picking up this fall...so. much. goodness.
