A Little Fall Color

I love to decorate with Fall colors year-round; it's my favorite season and my favorite color pallet. So for the season ~  instead of Halloween decor, I enjoy a fall / harvest look.

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.

  1. 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.

  3. Thanks for visiting my blog. We have a lot in common, not to mention fellow bloggers. :-)
    Autumn 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.

  5. Good morning, Susy,
    What 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,

  9. 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!

  10. After 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.

  15. I love the little tea-cup. It's hard to find tea-cups with the Fall colours. It's very pretty. Deb

  16. My 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.

    Happy (very nearly) Fall!

  17. 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!

  19. Your 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.
