Happy Fall Y'all,
It's that wonderful time of the year. Fall is fast approaching. These cooler mornings just inspired me to pull out our fall decorations. I know it is probably a tad early but when we get the Christmas decorations down by November, it's not really that early. Once I opened those boxes with those pretty colors, it was very hard to stop.
So with that being said here are some pictures of our kitchen, dining room, patio and coffee table.

| Kitchen Table scape |
The table is covered with a brown tablecloth from Target. I made the place mats from decorative burlap. I cut them into squares instead of oblong mostly because I thought it might emphasize the square zebra plates. The plates, bowls and small plates under the glasses came from Target. The stemware is from an antique mall. The chargers are black which accents the design on the mats. The centerpiece combines a string of gourds with a fall garland I picked up at the Goodwill warehouse for $2.00. (Remember the place where you pay by the pound.) I tied a cute polka dot ribbon around the napkins for some extra punch.

Dining Room Table

The dining room was where I splurged a little this year. The wire bird cage is from T.J. Maxx( $14.99). I could not resist. I had been on the lookout for one since Christmas when I saw a cage decorated with some ribbon, greenery and ornaments at a local florist. The orange runner was a real deal several years ago. Williams and Sonoma usually has a sale table in the back of the store. I paid $8.98 for this linen 90 inch hemstitched runner. I could not run to the check out fast enough to pay for this jewel. The leaves and flowers are leftover from years past. When something is worn out one way I try to think outside the box. .

Coffee Table

This fall coffee table display is sitting on a metal tray I found at the flea market. Again there is just a bunch of re purposed flowers, leaves and small artificial gourds placed around the plastic pumpkins.

Patio Table
|
Well, we can't leave the patio table out of the fall festival. Here is a real jewel, the wicker pumpkin, $1.67 at the Goodwill warehouse. The last of the leftover leaves and mums from an old decoration. This table scape really makes our little porch feel welcome and cozy. I'm thinking of putting on a jacket and grabbing a cup of joe right now. After all isn't that the biggest and best part of fall.. enjoying God's beautiful world.
I almost forgot these two fall fellows who add to the view from the porch swing..
Happy Fall Thrifting to You All!
