Beginning My Autumn Decorating

Good Evening Everyone!

I hope everyone is OK from the effects of the hurricane.

We have had a lot of rain here in Virginia but nothing more

and feeling so grateful for that.  It just seems that there are

more and more awful situations in our country from 

weather issues ~ tornadoes, flooding, fires, and now hurricanes.

Will it ever end?  I so hope that the winter is not going

to follow suit and be awful.  Let's keep our fingers crossed.

On a lighter, happier note, I did a little Autumn decorating

last week and wanted to share.  If you know me at all you

know I love Autumn and October just seems to make

me smile and lift my spirits.

One of my favorite quotes ~

"I'm so glad I live in a world where there

are Octobers".

Anne Of Green Gables

(one of these days I'm going to design something

using that wonderful saying)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I haven't done any decorating out doors yet.  That will

come after the rain has let up, so maybe next week.

Just love finding all the unique pumpkins that

are available now, so I have to go pumpkin hunting~

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's my little tour!

My kitchen window~

A felted black cat that I made years ago and still love~

Love these funky reproduction jack-o-lanterns~

A favorite Autumn wreath~just the

perfect colors!

Candle light and Autumn just goes together!

I painted this funky turkey~

Love turkeys and this beeswax one is

the perfect color for my guest bathroom~

Now this is a major acorn~

Tansy Annie, acorns, pine cones, and

nuts.  A sweet little wreath!

Don't you love funky gourds!

I stacked all kinds of Autumn goodness to

make this centerpiece~

Every year I made a stack of pincushions

to mimic a stack of pumpkins~

Gourds on my Keeping Room mantle~

A single baby pumpkin just says Autumn~

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you enjoyed my minimalist Autumn

decorating.  Sometimes I think less is more

effective, don't you?

~October ~ 

you are so special!
