Inside the house and out, you can spread them everywhere. Mums are quite inexpensive and come in beautiful fall colors of yellow, crimson, mauve and purple. We like to put a huge pot by the front door every year. Mums produce a lot of flowers and can get quite bushy. Pick some that are unique in shape and color and gather some in a basket to put on the floor in a corner or on your kitchen table.
Gourds come in so many interesting shapes and sizes and last quite awhile.
You can hang Indian corn on your front door or put some in a basket with your gourds. Tiny pumpkins and gourds can be scattered about the house and tied with fall colored ribbons or with a bit of corn husk. Make pumpkin pie before they turn bad. Put a festive fall table cloth on your table. Solid colors of crimson, burnt orange or yellow look fantastic when you put on a centerpiece of gourds, corn, colored leaves or flowers.
