This weekend I came across a cute little dish and a small garland of bittersweet that had to come home with me. Oh, and a cinnamon-scented candle.
After I got home I realized, if I looked hard enough, I'd probably find the same candle and garland stashed away from last year. And I liked the dish so much I went back and got one for my sister.
As I was looking for something to put the candle in I came across a few other "fall-ish" pieces that I pulled out and added to my already very cluttered buffet top. (I like to think of it as layering.)
A scented candle in a ceramic acorn
a bag of tiny gourds and acorns
Four pieces of stemware from a yard sale ~
currently re-purposed as candle holders
a teacup with fall color
all nestled together in the star garland.
And I'm calling it done!
Although I might see if I can find
a little something for the mantle next week.

Guess you're ready for fall. At first I thought that leaf dish and bird were one, but after looking again realized they weren't. Either way they look so good together. The ceramic acorn caught my eye too. You have a great eye for display. Now, I need to get busy.
ReplyDeleteYour fall decorations are lovely. They bring out the feel of cozy home and hot cider. Such lovely colors. Great blog, I'll be your newest follower.

Thanks for visiting my blog. We have a lot in common, not to mention fellow bloggers. :-)
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favourite time of year, not a lot of decor to put out but I do like acorns and oak leaves. I am loving the acorn candle you have, as well as the new dish with the bird.
I'm joining your flock.

ReplyDeleteGood morning, Susy,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post! You have created such a peaceful setting with all of your beautiful Autumn decor. I, too, enjoy focusing on adding warm touches of Fall color throughout my home instead of Halloween themes.
Your blog is such an uplifting presentation. I love your scriptures throughout.
Thank you for your thoughtful comments on my blog. You are a blessing to me!
Have a sweet day, my friend,
Carolynn
Such pretty colors - they speak of cozy fires and crisp fall leaves. Lovely.

Fall is my FAVORITE SEASON! You have definitely invited it indoors! Gorgeously whimsical!
ReplyDeleteOh Susy,
ReplyDeleteI love it all!
I love your buffet, and I like to layer my decor too :)
Fall is my favorite season also.
Hope you enjoy this day.

This post was inspiring..I'm almost embarrassed to say that I let my dread of winter overshadow the beauty of fall. Maybe you have inspired me to embrace the change, get out my decorations and enjoy the change. "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under the sun." Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing your gourds displayed I had to jump up and find a bowl for mine and then add it to my welsh dresser display. You inspired me.

I love fall and I love the colors of fall, too.

I specially love the acorn candle holder.
Thanks for sharing.

You sure are a decorateur. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the little leaf dish with the bird! Sooooo cute! I love fall decor also! Love your layering! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteI love the little tea-cup. It's hard to find tea-cups with the Fall colours. It's very pretty. Deb
ReplyDeleteMy husband brought me home a Pumpkin Spice Latte this morning as a surprise - so it really must be time for Fall! :) Your buffet is so lovely. I adore fall colors too and your decor is so charming and welcoming.
ReplyDeleteHappy (very nearly) Fall!
I love the candy dish with bird on it - so darling! I brought some of my dec's up from the basement last week, and they're still just sitting there in the kitchen. Time to get to work, I guess!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes! I prefer a harvest decor to Halloween. What lovely photos! So glad I stopped in when I saw you on Rednesday!
ReplyDeleteYour vingette is beautiful, Susy. That little dish is so sweet, and I really love that ceramic acorn candle. And you've inspired me to use some of my aunt's antique stemware to hold candles! Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a good thing going! I'm getting seduced by the season too. I admire your beautiful pottery collection. Your pieces seem perfect for fall. And I like all your vintage touches and how you use them. Thanks so much for your lovely comment. You say the most heartwarming things!
