Fall Decorating...junk style...

I think I am ready to do "Fall" :)

Red, White and Blue...4th of July Centerpieces...

With the 4th of July coming up I've been thinking in red, white and blue.  Here are a couple of centerpieces I've been playing with...

A Fairy Garden in a Tote...Centerpiece

We've been enjoying all of the fun fairy gardens out there.

 So I decided it would be fun to put a quick one together for a centerpiece.  I used all things I had on hand...

 This chippy wood tote only looks old.  I bought it at Home Goods a couple of years ago.  I still love it.

 I had a couple of different kinds of moss left over from other projects.  I used both for fun texture.

These glass insulators looked like mushrooms to me.  I put some crumpled book pages inside.

Can you see my little junky fairy in there?

 Just some random bits and pieces glued and tied together.

Her "house" is just a Ball jar with an enamel lid on top.

The plates were just tucked in for "flowers".

I love how it looks out on my rustic PALLET PERCH...

 ...BUT, this is definitely an indoor centerpiece.  I plan to put it on my dining room table...as soon as I finish up a couple more projects that are taking up that space :)

Knick of Time Tuesday 

My kids say they are "happy/sad" about the last day of school today.  I know just what they mean.  I remember that feeling, don't you?  Excited for long sunny days without homework...but sad to say goodbye to their teachers and friends.  It's been a great year! 

Happy Summer,

 

Vintage Sprinkler "Tree"...

You might recognize this blue vintage sprinkler...

I shared it with you this Fall.

Now it holds greens and ornaments...instead of apples.

And a star of course.

This white light fixture makes a nice "stand".

Nothing is safe from "tree like" decorating at my house.

Chat soon,

Fall Centerpiece...yardsticks, gourds and a touch of aqua...

Mind if I share just a couple more fall ideas this week?  We will be decorating our booth for CHRISTMAS next week...so I'll need to "switch gears" here a little bit...

...but before I do that I want to cherish my favorite season for a few more days.

I haven't shown you my Fall centerpiece.  

I just can't resist layering a few yardsticks into most of my vignettes these days.

And those rustic fence pieces add the perfect bit of "imperfection" :)

A mix of gourds...real and "faux"...and some mini globes for fun.

I thought the "ribs" on the tarnished silver pieces looked "pumpkin-ish" as well.

A little pop of aqua with this lamp shade cloche.

So here's my Great Room dressed in it's Fall "finest" :)

So how about you...are you still "relishing" Fall??

I'm not quite ready to think Christmas/Winter...but when you sell retail you really have no choice.  Hop on the "sleigh" or you might miss it :)

I have at least one more Fall post this week...

Until then, 

Vintage Sprinkler Centerpiece...having fun with Fall...

A sprinkler centerpiece for fall...

  

I figure it's OK if it has apples and leaves...

...and a "fall-ish" word.

They all need water to grow....right?

This is the centerpiece right now on my kitchen table.  It stays there a total of about 15 minutes each day...busy spot.  

I'll enjoy it when I can :)
