Fall home goods from Target

I. Love. Joanna. Gaines. Call me incredibly basic – I’m good with that! I think everything she does, eats, breaths is gold, and I strive to be like her in some way (yes, I channeled here when we built our house. Think lots of white subway tile and shiplap…). That said, I wait with bated breath for her seasonal items to release, and her fall line has proved worth the wait! Now, a few of these items are in their regular standing inventory. But I mean – we’re all going to need a platter for Thanksgiving, amiright?! You’re going to learn as you continue following this blog (and I REALLY hope you do) that I’m a bit of a farmhouse decor snob. I think there are a lot of products that try way too hard to be cute farmhouse decor (I’ve got my eye on you, white milk jug vases with a black ‘farmhouse’ stamp across you). I’m not interested in a sign with rub marks every three inches because whoever produced it was trying to make it look weathered. Not my thing. Your thing? Love that for you. But because I’m a girl of simple taste, I tend towards the more understated farmhouse finds… And hear me now: it’s not “vintage” unless it’s REALLY vintage. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, one of the things I love about some of the Hearth and Hand products this fall is they don’t scream fall… Let’s call them a nod to fall, really. They’re products that, honestly, you can put up as early as August and leave up until you pull out the Christmas decorations (that Joanna Gaines sure is smart…). I don’t need my entire house to be fall colors. What I need is more of a feeling… A cozy sort of groundedness, if you will. What gets you that? Touches of burnt orange and gold, sure, but also sitting in front of a fire with a big knit blanket draped across your lap while sipping hot coffee… Every product featured below will help create that feel. So find the items you love and turn your home into the perfect fall retreat! PRODUCTS 35oz Harvest Spice 5-Wick Speckled Ceramic Fall Candle - Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia – who doesn't love a good fall candle? Tell me a jar candle doesn't give you all the fall feels, and I'll call you a liar... 94oz Stoneware Pumpkin Serving Dish - Threshold™ – I've only recently hopped on the soup train, but man have I ever. I love soup. And what's better on a brisk fall day than a cup of hot soup? I'll tell you what - a cup of hot soup, served from this pumpkin shaped soup tureen. 38" Faux Rusted Croton Plant Stem - Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia – I've found that when it comes to fall decorating, I appreciate the more muted decor (as if you couldn't take that from the photo collage). I love that this stem doesn't scream fall, but very much adds to the fall esthetic. Pro tip (not really - who am I kidding? I'm no interior designer): this stem looks incredible in a sea glass blue jug similar to this one ... Woven Plaid Throw Pillow with Exposed Zipper Brown/Cream - Threshold™ designed with Studio McGee – I'm really big on plaid right now, and I love how soft and subtle this plaid is. 18" Asymmetrical Faux Rusted Eucalyptus Wire Wreath - Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia - when I say I checked the Target website daily for these suckers to come back in stock, that's zero exaggeration. The simplicity of this whole wire wreath trend is something I'm absolutely here for. I have two turn-of-the-century wood and glass pane doors on a slider in my family room. I got one for each, and I've never been more thrilled with a look. Lynwood Square Upholstered Cube - Threshold™ designed with Studio McGee - back to plaid! I've seen these two cubes used in a few different influencer's home photos, and they look great in a number of set ups. You can bet I'd have two for in front of my fireplace if Olivia didn't insist on eating macaroni and cheese with her hands, then wiping them everywhere... 'Go Get Em' 14.5oz Speckled Stoneware Mug Matte Sour Cream - Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia - every good fall setup should include a candle (check), some cozy blankets and pillows (check), and a good hot beverage. Aside from this mug being A-DOR-A-BLE, the mantra printed on the side just felt fitting. Medium Glazed Ceramic Pumpkin Black - Threshold™ - I generally like to keep things light and bright, but these black pumpkins are too cool to pass up - and give some great depth to a mantel, shelf, entry table, or basket! Chunky Knit Throw Blanket - Threshold™ designed with Studio McGee - how cozy does this guy look? I'm a sucker for a throw blanket - especially a rust colored blanket. I mean, gotta stay on-brand, right?
