Pumpkin Spice & All Things Nice | my intentional COTTAGECORE FALL bucket list <3

Last year, in anticipation of my most favorite season ever, I did something a wee bit crazy - I created a seasonal bucket list with 101 items on it. I was certain that I would be ready to dive right in and check off every single one before the first day of Winter.


Reality check? I think I only did about ten.


This year, I decided to do it differently. I'd rather be intentional about a few things I really want to do than flying through a huge list just to check off the items. So, I present to you, my intentional cottagecore fall bucket list. <3






1 | decorate the house


2 | piece together a hobbit outfit


3 | have a tea party! bake scones, brew english breakfast tea, pull our my watercolors . . .


4 | jump in a pile of leaves and take photos





5 | watch a movie and have a good cry


6 | make caramel/toffee popcorn balls


7 | read a "spooky"/fall-themed book. the count of monte cristo, dearest joesphine, the hound of the baskerviles - i'd love more recs!


8 | pumpkins! paint them, watercolor them, eat them . . .



9 | participate in Preptober and NaNoWriMo


10 | bake, bake bake!


11 | go on a bike ride and take pictures of the leaves


12 | stay up late on a call with friends


13 | have a psl from perks


🍁🎃🍁



That's it for today! I hope you guys enjoyed it. 🥰 What would think if I did a recap post near the begining of winter, sharing about which ones I was able to get to or not? (I might even splurge and use up some of my precious photo-storage for a camera reel for you guys!)


What's your fall bucket list? Do you like autumn (choose your answer carefully 🔪🤺💀)? What's your favorite fall book or movie? Who else can't wait for psls? I'd really love to know! <3
