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!

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.

Believe in yourself, Vicki

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,

Front Porch Decorated for October

Hi friends,

The front porch is decorated for Halloween.


 The purple and black striped spider found some bugs in the web for later to munch on.


We had such a great time carving the pumpkins this year.
