Fall Table Tops and hints from family and dining room 2016

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you having a good
week.....so far.....

So far.....So good for us!!  As the 
previous two have been rather
crazy, I have to say.
So this week is good so far, and
hoping it stays that way.  lol

Last Thursday right after I posted
my Thankful Post,  hubby and I
got a big not so good surprise.
Come back on Thursday and I
will tell you what it was......
For now let's enjoy some Fall
decorating.........lol

Since that is much more fun!!

This vignette rest on my serving table

between the family  and dining room.

I started out by using this wonderful 

printable from Ann over @

 On Sutton's Place.com

If you have never visited Ann be sure 

and drop by, you will not be disappointed.

  Put it in my frame but due to the white

 matting, it just needed a lil pazzzz, so I

 stuck the lil leaves and the embossed

 leaf candle jar lid on the glass, so it

 gave it that bit of umphh it needed, 

so it didn't just blend into my

 walls so much.

Could have painted the matting, but 

trying to keep it neutral so I can use

 any printable in it.

Hint: 

There are so many free printables

out here in blogland that I decided to

purchase some frames that had easy

backs to get in and out of, so I could

easily transform them seasonally.

If you love to decorate seasonally,

You might just want to find some

frames too, .............I also have to

say that it seems like I tend to like

Ann's printables the best,  but there

are tons of them out there in blog-

land........just a matter of preference.

 Guess Ann and my tastes must

 just be alike. lol

Hint:

Pretty Fall potpourri not only smells

wonderful,  it is a nice added natural

look that adds texture and appeal.

With photocopy affect

You can see the previous vignette behind

the sofa and the lil table below next to it.

My Fall decorating is not necessarily
quick and easy because it has been
collected over many years, and many
items have been gifts to me, as family
 and friends know I love decorating and 
I love all my Fall pieces, and since
 I only get to use them once a year,  
I try to find a special place for each
 of them!!  Which requires a bit of
 thinking, planning and trying.....
which spells fun to me........lol

This vignette is in my hallway
 near the dining room.

Hint:

Need to make a cake plate for 
decorative purposes.............
Just use a large candle holder or bowl 
turned upside down and add a plate
 to the top. This is a large candle
holder I am using here.

Cake Plates just seem to make a
nice statement and give some
height and interest to a vignette.

Hint:

I think using gift bag filler adds 

a bit of a nature look too......as well

 as adding texture, and definitely looks

much better than just plopping some-

thing on a plate.  It also is great

 in the Spring to make bird nests.

and it comes in many colors.

This is the centerpiece on

 our dining room table right now.

Hint:

This was one berry vine that I cut into

 3 pcs.to decorate each pumpkin....

Sometimes you just need a lil bit of

something to spruce it up. So these

berries fit the bill.............

Same large candle cup

with a different plate.

Hint:

I liked to use this dried bean soup mix

added to the glass candleholders as it

has a nice natural Fall look to it.

(you can find it in your local grocery 

store in the dried bean section)

Mine was leftover from last year and

 still looks great,,, so it stores well in a

ziploc bag, so you can reuse it a few

times..........lol

Hint:

The cake plate gives it just a lil bit of 

variation for the center, so it isn't so flat,

 but high enough you can see over it

 and it doesn't impede conversation

when you are having din din.

Glad you stopped by today,  and 

hope you enjoyed your visit.

Have a lovely Fall Day.....

Love,  Hugs and 
Pumpkin Blessings,

Nellie
