September in the Holiday Cupboard

Hi Friends, we're really sliding toward Fall since it's the middle of September now. The days are cooling off here and it's getting dark much earlier... time to restyle the Holiday Cupboard for Early Fall. Just give me any excuse to restyle the HC and I'll jump on it. 

In Early Fall I don't want to overwhelm things with 

tons of  dark leaves and heavy textures.

...those will come October/November.

I like to take the lighter approach with some Fall color 

and a few dried berries added to the mix.

Lately I've tried to totally empty out the cabinet before I get started on a new theme.

(It usually needs a dust and wipe down anyway)

That way I have a blank slate not only in the cabinet, but also in my imagination.

I'm using my "new-to-me" Myotts brown transferware as a backdrop.

I hadn't been out vintage shopping this year, but I happened to find these on Ebay.

I'm enjoying decorating with these plates because

they have more variegated color than a lot of transferware.

My many odds and ends and pieces of ironstone and woodsy pottery

are mixed in here with a few faux pumpkins and fall foliage.

The small twig of bittersweet has lost it's leaves,

but it's still a keeper.

I'm pretty sure the amber colored cake pedestal was my mom's.

Just the size for a larger faux chalk painted pumpkin.

This is a strange little Japanese Majolica teapot,

with a strange little squirrel.

hmmm yeh, long cute/creepy ears.

So here's a photo of a Japanese squirrel that might explain.

Hope you're having a beautiful September.

I'll be sharing more from the Garden Room soon.

Hope you'll come by Monday evening and join in.
