We can minimize our fossil fuel use and support makers near us by buying more from local makers (and a lot less from big stores). I want to keep highlighting amazing makers in the US, and I feel like my Etsy links can get caught in the more mainstream shuffle. So let's look at some of the best stuff together.

I love decorations, especially in the fall, but if you are trying to maintain a minimalist style, it's important to not go over the top with lots of stuff. All you need are a few special things to make your space connect with all the beauty outside. Here are my favorite Etsy shops for just those kinds of treasures.

jfjones

This has been one of my favorite Etsy shops to pine over for years. These metal mobiles look so special and precious, and if you are used to the beautiful colors of fall (and especially if you don't see them anymore), these mobiles can bring that beauty inside.

SheilaWeilStudios

This etsy shop, based in Ohio, makes the cutest felted acorns. Such a simple addition to fall decor, but perfect if you have a more minimalist aesthetic.

PlantCraftingCo

I love pumpkins (and using natural decor- it's zero-waste!) but I do notice that there is so much pumpkiny-ness right now. If you want to do something a little bit different, but bring in a fall vibe, check out these white pumpkin planters. Wouldn't this look so good on a table?

DECORsuite 

This Georgia store sells all sorts of adorable signs, lots of which fit for the fall right now. I especially love this trick or treat sign- it looks so clean and simple, but it feels really playful too!

OnOccasionShop

I know the changing leaves are my favorite part of the fall, and these beautiful felt garlands from On Occasion Shop look the perfect (and understated) way to bring the outside in.
