After working with my Sister on hosting two showers, and decorating for an outdoor wedding, things have calmed down a bit in my life.
All those celebrations turned out wonderful!
Well worth all our hard work, for those we love.
I now had time to add some simple fall touches to my home without breaking the bank, using what I have.
Not many, but just enough to take me into Thanksgiving.
Used the same front door wreath I have had for years. I have found nothing I like better for the season.
As I do every fall, I placed fall branches in my balloon vase, the look is simple and beautiful.
Used the pumpkin pillows I made from placemats in the living room, love them!
See the how to here.
Added some orange to the back porch.
Brought out my oil can jack-o-lantern, see the DIY here.
Placed a few mums and pumpkins on the front porch, and the fall wood sign I purchased at the Country Living Fair in Columbus, several years ago.
It was such a fun and memorable trip with my Sister, a trip that had been on my “bucket list”.
Needed a little something for the dining room table so I used several fall picks, and a $2 thrift store basket, to make a simple fall arrangement.
The old thrift store basket needed to be cleaned and I also decided to darken it a bit with stain.
Gathered some fall picks left over from the outdoor wedding centerpieces.
Turned the basket on its side, and filled it, including a small battery operated candle.
I love the small candle nestled inside the basket.
It’s just simple, full of fall colors.
Looks like I am ready to fall right into Thanksgiving, and then on to Christmas!
Oh my, Christmas!
Hope you all are enjoying the fall season with all its beauty.
Love you all who take the time to read my blog.
Thank you, with love.
