happy turkey day!

Happy Thanksgiving to all you,

hope you enjoy your day with your family and loved ones!

a trip to the farm market

Oh do I love this time of year, the aromas, the fruits and the sights. Today I went to my local farm market to pick up some fresh apples and cider. Two of my favorite things.

I took my camera along to take some snaps of the gourds and pumpkins. I took a similar picture last year as my Thanksgiving card to my family. I'll have to pick out one of the many I took this year. :)

Enjoy the colors...



Baskets of warty gourds.

Large warty gourds and pumpkins have so much character.

Rows and rows of pumpkins, I picked out mine, ready to be carved.

Have a great weekend!!

More shabby wreaths added to my etsy shop in other colors.

fall telephone hutch

Yes thats right, MORE fall decorating!! :) I have been busy changing over my whole house, giving it that autumn feel.
Another spot I decorate seasonally is my telephone hutch; another piece I bought from Pottery Barn. I got 4 of these cute little Halloween decorations at Michaels, the faces on them are too stinkin' cute!!

A couple of weeks ago my Mom and I went to a little shop and the woman was selling beautiful dried hydrangeas. They are the gorgeous shade of green. I used an old dresser drawer for the base container for the arrangement.

After going to the Haunted Mansion in Disney and seeing the spooky decorations there, I wanted to dress up the lighting fixture over our dining room table. I bought a bag of fake spider webbing and attached small little dangling spiders to finish the look. The funny thing is that I HATE spiders with a passion but I decorate with them all over the house...hmmm.... kinda funny huh? My hubby asked if I was going to be able to sit and eat at the table every night with them hanging down in my face...we'll see!!

Now I'm off to decorate the outside of my house!! Pumpkin, leave and gourds.

fall glass

I found all these glass pieces last week. The two smaller pieces found at a thrift store for 69 cents each! After leaving the store I found out that there was an auction going on across the street, I HAD to see what was going on over there!

I found so many goodies, included where four glass cloches. The HUGE one on the left and also the tall round one. I think I'm already hooked on the auction scene, I'll be looking for more to go to in the future!

Underneath the large cloche I place a large pumpkin candle from PB, the smaller cloche I put a couple of fall leaf branches, and the two glass canisters I filled with faux acorns and fall leaves. I dressed up the coffee table with black crepe paper and lace.

beginning to look like fall

Today I changed over my hutch for a fall look. Before I had pinks and blues, and I need to change it to fall colors. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Close up of the top . I just love the fall colors!

Working at Pottery Barn influenced how I decorated the plates. I dressed the hutches there when I managed the table top department, so it all came back to me. I bought the green dinner plates and the white pumpkins at the Christmas Tree store. The two tone napkins are from Pottery Barn.



Some other accents I used were mini pumpkin candles, berries clusters, David Winter cottages and leaf plates from PB.




One of my favorite movies is Little Women, and I found an old version of the book by Louisa May Alcott at a barn sale over the summer. The illustrations are beautiful. My husband got the plate with one of our wedding photos made for our anniversary.

Well I hope you enjoyed checking out my fall hutch, stay tuned for more fall decorating!
