Farewell to Fall.......Sad to see you go

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. The air turns from humid and muggy to clear and crisp. The display of leaves is breathtaking. Football is in the air. I looooove it!!! So before we put away all the pumpkins and fall leaves I thought I would leave you with a few fall decor ideas. Tuck them away for next year and go on and try to get in the Christmas spirit while there are still red and gold leaves on the trees. (lots o' luck!)

A copper tray gathering a few fall items: pumpkins (1/2 price at Hobby Lobby, leaves and pheasant feathers from a family hunting trip). Doesn't take any special arranging, the piling up of it all makes it interesting.

A group of candlesticks will make any table festive.
Same great urn I use for so many occasions with some fall berries and vines.  Easy! Keep a look out for great containers that will have multi-uses. Please ignore the cleaning products in the background!  LOL
Front door welcome.  These baskets actually came from WalMart last year for about $20.  I just added the large mesh ribbon and one clump of grapes.  Door pieces can run hundreds of dollars so keep an eye out for inexpensive items that can be dressed up for very little extra money.


 These glass candlesticks were a bargain at Pier 1!  $5 each on clearance.  Since they are clear glass they can be used with any colors of candles and for any occasion.  I'm a sucker for candlesticks!!

You all have a blessed Thanksgiving!.  I am most thankful to the Lord Jesus for my family and friends.
Hugs all around, ele
