Decorating for Autumn

Since autumn is a favorite season, it's thrilling to see how other people decorate for it.

Remember a cousin, Marianne?

She's a master decorator and has a magic touch.

Her late mother, Gertrude, had that kind of talent, too.

Everywhere in Marianne's darling apartment are signs of autumn.

She puts little pieces of things, like ceramic birds and soft, small pumpkins, together in little vignettes.  

 Dried flowers, soft amber, orange, and yellow colors, miniatures, and more are all lovingly put together and the appeal is mesmerizing.  

It's amazing how one can decorate with thrift store finds, saved from year to year, and not spend much money yet make a space look so beautiful!

Thanks, Marianne!

Autumn Decor

It's  definitely autumn.

I've finally, albeit reluctantly, reconciled to that fact as morning temps took a nosedive.

Of course, bowls of different kinds of candy corn are a must. 

(Thank heavens it's one candy I thoroughly dislike. If they were made out of chocolate, that would be a different story.) 

The pumpkin tablecloth was found at Big Lots for only $4.

Naturally, a new season means getting out decor to put around the house.

First came some faux  leaves for the front porch recycled chair, shown at the top of the post.   (If you missed the original post on the chair and are interested, you can read about it here.

Put some decorations on the hall table, including a cool new table runner, below, also found at Big Lots. 

Of course it goes without saying that amber glass is very reminiscent of fall.

Even the kitchen table looks festive, don't you think?
