alittle more Fall in the air

Or I guess you could say around my house. Anyone tired of me sharing some Fall decorating ideas???? I guess it shouldn't be too bad - I've only made 2 posts on the subject with this being the third. And since we are on the subject - anyone else LOVING the daily newsletter from BGH? wowee!!! What gorgeous pictures and fabulous ideas! My head is swimming with projects I'd love to do!

This week I was able to take a basket my mom was discarding into the "yard sale" pile and make it my new centerpiece for the dining room table. With a little help from my "resources" - (aka - all my extra stuff in cupboards and boxes) *snicker*, and a good sale on some dried and artificial plants I now have a centerpiece I love!

I also ventured out to the garden and harvested gobs of mini pumpkins. Theywere proudly placed in a black shallow wooden tray and sit in the middle of our kitchen island.

Switching gears from decorating to designing - I've got a sneak peek! Here's some fabrics I am working with! hummmm........what will they get turned into???? I've got several new items that will be added to my website VERY soon and also a few auctions on Ebay for those who love the thrill of bidding.

More Autumn decorating

I'm glad that so many of you have enjoyed my decor post. I realized there were a few more items I still needed to share and I have come across a few more ideas I wanted to share as well. First one is if you haven't seen or picked up the latest edition of Better Homes and Garden Magazine - it's fantastic! so many great fun ideas and who doesn't just drool over their pictures. Oh! Love it! They have several cute, stylish yet fun ideas for fall and Halloween too! One of my favorite ideas I saw in their magazine a few years ago they have brought back with a new design this year. Anyway, here is the first version (picture from last year) - stacking pumpkins in a planter and adding leaves, berries etc by your front door or on your porch. I received so many compliments last year. I would love to try their new version this year so snag a magazine to see what they did differently. I'll be sure to post more pictures if I actually get to that "project". *snicker*

Their site is FULL of great ideas for this time of year. I especially love their Fun ways to add Holiday Spirit feature. 19 slideshow pictures with a brief description of how to acheive that same look! Worth taking a peek! And if you are in the Holiday mood sign up for their 100 days of Holidays! Daily short email ideas and inspiration with great crafts, recipes, decorating ideas, and more. The emails start going out Today - September 24th! I receieved my first one and in addition to the idea of the day it gave me links to17 ways to decorate with Fall wreaths, the 25 top apple recipes, costume ideas and MORE!
