Welcome to the Fall Home Tour at Red Shutter Cottage. When it comes to Fall, I don’t pussyfoot around.  I launch myself into Fall, head first, at warp-turbo speed.  Living in Southern California, the fall months are essentially a continuation of the summer months, with slight dips in temperatures.  My way of coping is to…
