More Fall Ideas

*

Good Morning Dear Hearts,

*

Hope you are having a Wonderful Wednesday!

*

I have plans to go to a friends house today for

lunch,  and I am really looking forward to it.

*

Last night we got to see our Children's Pastor

get officially ordained,  it was a very sweet service.

We are so proud of he and his wife,  and so glad

all that hard work of studying is behind them.

We are very blessed to have them at our church.

*

Wanted to share some more ideas today,  that

I think are mostly 0 $$ ideas.  On Friday I will

 share some more ideas, but those will be inexpensive ideas.

*

*

Thought I would tell a little about each thing because

I know when I read things sometimes it spurs an idea

in my own mind of what I can do.

The thomas Kincaide pic in the back was cut from a

puzzle box and I happened to have that matting so

I just taped the picture to the matting and put it on

the easel.  See where the fall colored plate can be

used to put your potpourri on. See the napkin used to

just bring some extra color and texture.  Many times

 you can pick napkins up on sale in discount stores to use

 all over the place. I have had the hummel for almost

40 years,  my hubby bought it for me when we lived

in Germany way back when we were still newlyweds.

  Isn't he cute with all the bunnies.

*

On the header picture you will see the welcome

basket on the wall,  I crossstitched  that basket

years ago to go in my old kitchen,  but now I just use

it for Fall.  Also the lil Thomas Kincaide house was

a gift from a dear friend.  I love decorating with

items that I have rec'd from loved ones and friends,

cause they give me a case of warm fuzzies!

*

*

You can always raid your children's rooms

for  inexpensive decorating tools as well.

This was my daughter's bear and doll baby

high chair.  I made the scarf for his neck,

from fabric that I also made a table runner

and napkins.  A sweet friend gave me

the lil book,  so I placed it and the apple there.

*

*

Since I don't have lil ones or grandchildren yet,

I like to keep things around for when I do have

children visit our home,  so they feel special

and at home, and they can also be a fall or

Christmas or anytime decoration.  I need to move

some of the white and pink ones out for Fall.

Oops,  forgot about that!!

*

*

Another idea in case you haven't thought about it,
 is to put magazines in a basket with a napkin or some fabric,
 and put the magazines with Fall colors on top,

or whatever color for whatever season.  Easy but just adds

that lil bit of extra color of the season.

*

*

Now  this looks a lil dorky cause it is too small,
(just thought the pic would show you what I mean)

but if you have a large napkin or can take some

material and make a big enough square,  it adds

 color to a lamp shade or you can also tie

some wide ribbon around a small pyramid style

lampshade and let the tails hang down and it

looks quite nice.

*

*

Or maybe you have some sort of statue

you can add a floral pick or some flowers

onto it to bring some color.

*

*

This isn't a real clear picture but hopefully

you can get the idea of how you can just

add some berries and maybe a candle

to add just a lil color of the season to

your china hutch or shelves.

*

*

Just a few touches with a pumpkin knife spreader

and a card that has fall colors.

*

*

Just tied a ribbon onto this little planter thingie

and filled it with potpourri and it hang on my window

It just loops over the window lock.  Love the way

it looks.  Tried to take a picture of it but it was

to glary from the outside light,  maybe I will

try again,  and do it on my next post.

*

*

These are just a few more china hutch or shelf ideas.

See the greeting card.......believe it or not it was a

Christmas card I have kept for years,  but I keep it

with my Fall decorations,  cause it doesn't look

Christmasy to me,  but it is beautiful!!

Also,  the little pumpkin looking gravy boat

I think it is,  I got 2 at Target in their $1 area a

few years back,  I have put tea light candles in

them,  and cream and you could put butter, syrup

 or really whatever you want.  I just thought they

were too cute to pass up.

Well,  hope maybe I have given you some inspiration

to get started if you needed it,  or just brought a lil

fun to your day!  If you get stuck always remember

to ask The Greatest Creator for some inspiration

and fresh ideas............He never runs out!!

He is my biggest Helper!!

Happy Home and Hearth Decorating,

Have fun !!  That's the point!!

Love, blessings and hugs,
