the calm before the storm. meaning - some simplicity before all the
christmas decorations come out. when i decorate my home for fall, i just use what i have. pumpkins, left over from
halloween, find a new place to rest among autumn garlands. simple white candles add a visual of warmth to a room and get their height by being placed in urns.
i love the fall colors against our black mantel.
a branch, naturally fallen from a tree, finds a spot on my entry table. we will hang tags on the branch saying what we are thankful for this holiday season.
a basket i had laying around now holds pumpkins and
indian corn. again, i love the fall colors against the black basket.
a pedestal bowl, that housed a small haunted house at
halloween, now holds a pumpkin. scatter some pine cones on the tray and it easily becomes an image of autumn.
for my dining room table i started with a burlap runner (so cheap at your local fabric store!) then using a tray as a base i just started adding to it. a black cake pedestal gives the pumpkin some height. pewter candle sticks with pillar candles on them nestle into some green garland. orange pumpkins and a stack of cloth napkins complete the display. and off to the side, a stack of charger plates on an easel. so don't spend a bunch of money on seasonal decor. use what you have and go out and collect from your yard.

You always have the best looking decorations. I love how you just make everything look so simple!
I was so sad I didn't win your tray in your giveaway. But congrats to Kim for winning. I'm sure she is just as thrilled as I would have been.
Hugs,
Joanne
