Fall Colors -The Tree are Changing Color in my Neck of the Woods

 Hi Friends,

Today all around my neighborhood the leaves are changing the evening are getting into the mid twenties.  

We just had a few rain showers, but we do a few breaks of sunshine and blue sky.

Today I thought it would be a great time to drive around town and shoe off the fall changing of the trees.

Just a pic of sun shine of pink leaves changing on the tree behind my garage.  Beautiful

Decorate with me - Fall Farmhouse/ Vintage Mantel - Using Thrifted Items

 Hi Friends,

Today, I'm easing my mantel into fall.  Using some farmhouse/vintage décor that I have thrifted, the last few months.

I love my black and white gingham garland that stays on the mantel year round. To ease into  fall on my mantel I placed a thrifted copper tin, some books, amber bottle, a crow I've have for many years

A thrifted crock I left the sunflowers found this summer and added pip berries a diy ceramic pumpkins

amber bottles with sunflowers, I left the moss, added a faux pumpkin to the vintage cigar tin

To the left side of the mantel I added a little orange ceramic pumpkin that I gave a face lift to and a copper accent pumpkin I picked up a couple of years ago a thrifted crock with sunflowers and a black crow.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  So until the next time....

May God Bless You and Your Family.

Fall has moved onto my Hutch - Decorate with Me -Thrifted Vintage Décor

 Hi Friends,

I had some time today to add a few fall touches to the top of the hutch, by bringing in a diy pumpkins sign, I made last fall.

 Using Waverly Antiquing wax I added a little weather aging to this faux pumpkin and I harvested some poppy seed pods from my garden and painted them.

A thrifted lunch box and oil can was added to the top of the hutch for some rustic charm.

I need to add a rooster here and there. and I have been collecting amber bottles, my collection is increasing.

I love to add bittersweet, sunflower

black/white check homespun

Harvest-  seeds, wheat  

The wheat is new this year I thrifted two large bundles about a month ago so I added a clump to the large clear jug.

My God Bless You and Your Family!

Fall Has Reached my Kitchen-Vintage

Hi Friends,

I'm doing a little styling today, with the thrifted items I picked last week.

 I added the little brown cheese crock to this little vintage vignette in my kitchen above the cabinets

 This little crock brought back memories of my Dad buying soft cheese in little crock like this, when I was a kid.

The wooden spoon are a thrift items I have picked up recently.

I shopped my house a little and found the dark brown planter I had displayed on a shelf in the den.  I pulled out a few of my fall cookie cutter to fill it.

I've had the bean pot displayed on this shelf, I just added foe bitter sweet and a dish towel.

Thank you for stopping by, So until next time.....

May God Bless You and Your Family.

A Dollar Tree Farmhouse Fall jar sign project

I have been picking up some new items from Dollar Tree for decorating thank goodness,
I saw this idea from one of my favorite you-tuber Jody's Craft Room and wanted to give this project a try.

Using a Dollar Tree jar sign, I added some hot glue lines to the lid area, painted over it with gray paint. 

I did a little high lighting with a black sharpie and  a  white chalk paint pin, I saw from Tracy at Country Charm by Tracy another of my favorite you-tubers,  do this and just loved use this technique.

Added some raffia and some ribbon to the lid and a "Fall Leaves and Spices" label.

This project turned out great, I think.

Thanks for stopping by.....until the next project.

Two Farmhouse DIY Autumn Pumpkins using Dollar Tree Items

Two more diy project to add to my FALL decor

Using a Dollar Tree pumpkins sign

Gave this sign two coats of Waverly chalk paint.

gluing the fall plaid fleece fabric scarf from Dollar Tree added a piece of burlap to stem.  Then added fall leaves, twine, and raffia also purchased from The Dollar Tree.

After looking at this project it needed more, so I added also from Dollar Tree a metal welcome piece and painted wooden letters to spell out Fall and added them to the decor pieces.  I think the finished product turned out very well.

I made a second pumpkin sign using a pumpkin sign form and adding the fall fleece fabric plaid scarf to cover the pumpkin shape.

Using a sign piece from another pumpkin sign, I use my glue gun and made lines to imitate corrugated metal and put aluminum foil over top to make it look like a metal piece.

Hand painted Hello Pumpkin and added a little brown paint around the edge to make it look rusted.  I'm still practicing this technique and glued it to the front of the pumpkin shape.

Thank you for stopping by, And may God Bless You and Your Family!

Buffalo-Check Pumpkin - DIY for Fall Farmhouse Décor

Hi Friends,

 This week I have been obsessed with making Buffalo-Check pumpkins for my Fall décor.

Diy Project, putting my touch to a Dollar Tree pumpkin sign.

I a saw this technique done by one of my favorite you-tuber Tracy at Country Charm by Tracy she used paper to cover her pumpkin signs.

Using a couple of the Dollar Tree pumpkin sign, I painted them all with white chalk paint two coats 

then using masking tape I marked out where to make the black stripes going vertical then horizontal; the come out with this checker board pattern.

I add a few burlap leaves, raffia, jute string and a couple of silk yellow leaves to the stem and wa.. la..

Here is how I displayed the pumpkin sign in my Fall decor.

Thank you for stopping by, until the next project.

DIY Yarn Pumpkin Garland

Old string garland refreshed.

I made these string garland a couple of years ago out out orange yarn, yeah I know pretty lazy looking project but the grand-kids enjoyed the craft.

I added strips of burlap ribbon I purchase from Dollar Tree and tied the strip between the yarn pumpkins.

I feel adding the burlap strips added another dimension to the garland.  I like how this project turned out.

Thank you for stopping by,

Hello Fall

Hi Friends,

Outside the leaves are changing, light frost in the mornings, and a crisp coolness in the air.

My home decor is changing to FALL decor!

This year I'm adding orange pumpkins, bittersweet sprigs and of course the black and white check accents are everywhere. 

In a corner of my fireplace mantel I display a diy farmhouse FALL sign, a pumpkin picture from my granddaughter, a ceramic pumpkin from Dollar Tree that I painted and added fall color leaves, and a diy buffalo checked pumpkin piece using a sign from Dollar Tree.

More pumpkins in this little vignette, FALL garland and another diy hand painted buffalo checked pumpkin.

A tray on the coffee table full of FALL leaves little orange  and green pumpkins, dried corn cobs, acorns, sprigs of bitter sweet, and vine bowl fillers.

Another vignette with a hand painted buffalo checked pumpkin made from a Dollar Tree pumpkin form, stacked little orange and green pumpkins. Sprigs of bitter sweet and dried corn cobs tucked into a cigar box.
