It's getting Autumnal all up in here! Fall is my favorite time of year because I love to wear jeans, sweaters and boots. I love chocolaty browns and ochre yellows and dark pumpkin colors. The latter two don't look very good on me, but I don't care. It's fall, Y'all!  And in its honor, some of our favorite fall-like picks from Etsy this week.
Just look at gorgeous bird giclee print above, by Mai Autumn. It's printed professionally and would look amazing in a living room, bedroom, or nursery.



Here's a lovely Maple leaf wooden teether for the teethers in your life from one of CMP's favorite artisan toymakers, Little Sapling Toys. It's hand-sanded satin smooth, has no finish, and the shapes make it easy to grasp for tiny hands.


This tiny acorn and leaf necklace from California's EngLady is so classy and a way to carry a little bit of fall with you wherever you go. Would look great with a sweater and jeans. (Note: Ugh, seems like it's all sold out. Poke around the shop for other bits of loveliness like this branch and acorn necklace.)


This wall has one of the colors I was talking about. Bang! The tree with falling leaves is a vinyl wall decal made by Wall Decors which comes in different colors and looks great against a brightly painted wall. What a great way to make a playroom cheery without wrestling with wallpaper. -Leah
