Kitchen China Cupboard for Fall

Before we moved to this house, my kitchen china cupboard, had always been just that... a china cupboard. It held china, and some colored crystal and a few antique floral teapots. It never changed, no matter what the Season or Holiday. I had lots of other places to "play" and decorate, so this one I left alone...

July 2013

But now, I have a limited number of decorating spots, so I make good use of them all. The big change came when it became home for my Tranferware bits and pieces. I don't have "sets" of much, just mismatched items, that I collected here and there. 

 a few pieces of Ironstone,

and my cow collection.

...for the Seasonal changes I like to add some 

"Nature Inspired" elements and colors.

and doesn't everyone want birds to nest in their egg cups?

I love to use Bittersweet and twigs and leaves,

even in the China Cupboard.

and of course pumpkins add to the color and fun.

I don't mind mixing Brown and Red together.

In the Fall the Brown plates line the back.

At Christmas the Red shows up.

Somehow in my head, I kept seeing a cupboard in a little cottage, that had been invaded by the wild natural elements. A place where the garden crept silently into the kitchen and lovingly wound it's way among the china.

Where little pumpkins were growing and the leaves felt at home.

I still need a few pumpkins for the porch,

I just had to leave this tiger striped cutie indoors.

Hope you have a wonderful last week of September, 

Coming up...

October is my favorite month of the year.
