A Touch Of Fall

Thanks to Marty at

"A Stroll Thru Life"

for hosting and giving everyone the opportunity

to share ideals.

I have been moving in the direction of fall

decorating, but I haven't gotten allot accomplished

to tell you the truth. I just don't want to let

go of summer!

Here are a few little vignettes I have in my

dining room. I left the dark burgundy tablecloth

on the table and started adding oranges and golds.

The old crock holding the dried hydrangeas

is hand made. I bought it years ago from a

friend who was in the process of downsizing

from her family home in Charleston. She told

me stories of her Grandmother using the crock

in the fireplace with fresh flowers from the

garden to brighten things up a little. Her

memories and stories were priceless. How

many of us have the opportunity to live in an

old plantation house where generations of our

family have lived and handed down stories and

traditions?

The amber glasses were a thrift store find and

the candelabra a yard sale find. All I have to

do is add plates and flatware, then dinner will be

served!

Orange napkins, brass napkin rings, on rattan place mats.

The place mats were also found at a yard sale

for.....

Are you ready?

$1.00 for four!!! Can't beat a deal like that!!

A bad picture of the tablecloth, very bad color!

Now for the sideboard!

Have to add a little copper, after all this is

Copper~n~Things!

I found this copper bowl at Cracker Barrel

several years on sale after Thanksgiving.

Lets move onto my Grandmothers desk.

Now I have a confession!

I planned on participating in Marty

Cloche Party, but I was a week off!

Go figure, I thought this Friday was the

17th, imagine my surprise, when I logged

on Friday night and saw all the cloche vignettes! How funny is that?

I changed the large picture over the desk to

this one I found years ago at a yard sale.

I just think it looks like fall. This is the same

picture I used last fall in my foyer with the

orange plates. Same ole decorations, just used

in different rooms. Who knows where it will be

next year!

Well thank for visiting. Hope I didn't bore you

tooooooo... much. Hope to be with everyone

Thursday for TT at Susan's.

Bye For Now,
