Description: How to create the scent of autumn in your home decor.

Fall is fast approaching and along with the new season, we associate several of autumns traditions.  One of my autumn favorites are the spicy, aromatic scents that brings to mind the fall season.  Every year we are treated to these pungent fragrances in craft and departments stores and at Halloween parties, just to name a few!  If you are like me and crave these spicy scents, you will be pleased to know that there are many simple and inexpensive ways to fill your own home with autumn's crisp aromas!

Scented potpourri is available in many of falls favorites, such as cinnamon, apple, spice and pumpkin scents.  Consider sprinkling a handful in tiny baskets, terracotta pots or even teacups!  Spread throughout your home!  Potpourri containers can be placed in full view on decorative shelves or tables, or hidden in inconspicous places if you only want to smell the aroma.

Air fresheners can be purchased in aerosol sprays, solids, plug ins and even as inserts to place inside toilet tissue holders.  Air fresheners permeate your closets, bathrooms, mudrooms and any area of your home, bringing falls delicious aromas!

Spicy scented candles can be purchased just about everywhere now, from candle shops and craft stores, to craft fairs and department and discount stores. Depending on the size candle you choose, the largest candles can burn for up to 50 hours or longer.  I recommend candles that are self contained in glass jars.  These candles have lids and are safer to use when there are children in your home.  An extra treat:  after your candle has been used up, clean out the wax at the bottom of the jar.  You can use the glass container for storing cotton balls and toiletries in your bathroom or paper clips and gadgets in your kitchen!

Finally, your own "home made" goodies deliciously scent your kitchen and dining area.  Simmering spiced tea or warm apple cider with cinammon sticks are some traditional favorites.  Who can resist the aroma of freshly baked gingerbread cookies or homemade apple pie, fresh from the oven!

As the warm days of summer draw to a close, we can celebrate the coming of autumn and greet our families and guests to scrumptious aromas that hint at the spicy scents that lay ahead in the months to come!
