Say Hello to Fall...

Back years ago when I had a few vintage market spaces, I loved decorating with seasonal colors, textures, and items. I also would put together small nosegays and tussy mussies tied with a seasonal ribbon and used them for decorating and sold quite a few each season. I love playing with faux flowers and since I rarely throw away any blooms or branches, they are perfect to bunch together a few odds and ends for a small arrangement. It's even more fun if you can find a vintage container for your posies.

I have a few of these metal Twinings tea cannisters in some seasonal colors that are perfect for little groupings of flowers. Many teas are packaged in paper/cardboard boxes now, but these small tins from (probably) the 70's are much more fun to display.

I may move this little riser to the island for a display in the kitchen, 

but I just put it together and wanted some good light for photos.

My two little pumpkins are the real thing though.

I brought the stripy one in from the porch.

Since I have all my seasonal decor in tubs in the garage

it's much easier to get to them and have a place to create.

So, I've been putting some small vignettes together for Fall,

to bring out some beautiful Autumnal color. 

I really enjoy decorating for the seasons and especially Fall,

but if you don't want to do a lot or have small spaces,

some seasonal color in florals and a few pillows with a throw

will easily bring out the fun and coziness of Autumn.

I'm trying to keep things a little more simple this year,

so when it comes to the Christmas changeover

 I won't be overwhelmed with work.

I have a few mums and pumpkins out on the front porch,

and I changed up the door basket with more Fall-like flowers and leaves.

(The front porch is so much better this year than last,

when we were in the middle of landscaping.)

I'll be sharing that soon.

Have a great rest of the week!

Are you decorating less this year or more?
