Fall Decor

FALL
With September here and fall fast approaching us, I decided to put out a few fall decorations.
Some of my inspiration came from Pottery Barn.

See the leaf wrapped vase with a candle in the middle...

and this one with the little acorns in it.

Well, I took and combined the two ideas and came up with this...

...using items I had around the house to make it.

I loved the wrapped wheat that was placed in a vase.

For my version I went out to the field next to our house

and cut some stems of grass and placed it in a jute wrapped vase.

I then placed it in a tray along with a candle and decorative balls.

I made this arrangement using leftover vases from our daughter's wedding.

I placed grass gathered from our side yard in the center vase, wrapped it with jute

and added a little metal leaf in the center.

The fruit basket I made using faux fruit and

a little metal bowl that I recently purchased from a thrift store.

I know some of you frown on faux fruit ... but I hate having the little fruit flies in my home that real fruit attracts.

I made the FALL framed art by using second hand frames that I painted black,

lining them with scrapbook paper, followed by placing cut out FALL letters.
