Fall October Harvest has Come to the Front Porch

Hi Friends,

I've have some time this weekend to spruce up my front porch for the harvest season. I have envisioned pumpkins, mums, sunflowers, cornstalks, a few twigs of bittersweet, etc.. 

So here I go.....

So, I left the sunflower from my late summer porch décor, trying to hold on to warm summer vibes.  Our night temps are in the mid 20's nowadays.

I exchanged the blue bench for a wagon that my daughters had when they were kids.  I purchase four odd shaped pumpkins and three small pie pumpkins to fill up the wagon. I was so excited to be able to use a few pumpkins from my garden this year. It always a gamble. The little green pumpkins in the wagon came from my garden.

I also purchases four mums pots from Walmart this year to add more orange and yellows to this vignette, they haven't done real well with the low night temperatures.

The milk cans and wire milk crates are treasure I have thrifted many years ago and are kept on my front porch year round.  

The cornstalks are from my garden this year.  

I added the thrifted tool box tray I found a couple of weeks ago while thrifting, against the vintage wire milk crate.

Thank you for stopping by.  I really like how my front porch turned out this year.

So until next time....

May God Bless You and Your Family

Vintage/Farmhouse Fall Mantel

Hi friends,

Today I'm sharing my Fall mantel.  I have added a little vintage, some thrifted items and a few diy projects I crafted last year and some craft project I had time to do this year. 

My focus this Fall was darker oranges and reds and browns so I brought a ceramic pumpkin from Dollar Tree that I painted a color I liked better. Some vintage canning jars a black rooster that is part of my vintage collection.  This year I added two trivets that I thrifted this year, painted with white chalk paint and put a little distress to the metal.  The fall leave garland, 

mums from Dollar Tree a few years ago. The wire pumpkin are thrifted this year, the buffalo pumpkin are a diy last year.

Last year Dollar Tree diy jar sign, a thrifted wire pumpkin, a remade thrifted trivet and vintage black rooster, Dollar Tree fall leaf garland and floral picks

something new to my fall décor is this Thankful sign I purchase  at Walmart I believe. I added to the fall leaf garland a few more strands of fall leaves from Dollar Tree. A messy bow to the top of my rustic window, from raffia, fall leave sprigs and a buffalo check ribbon. And a few pip berries here and there.

added a little Spanish moss and a black checked ribbon to a amber jar, another vintage rooster a few bitter sweet sprigs, pheasant feathers.

Thank you for checking in to see what project I'm working on this week.  Until the next creative moment.

My God Bless you and your family,
