I'm reposting for Southern Hospitalities Fall Decor party
I love days where I feel like I get so much accomplished...they don't happen often enough. Lil D and I hit a few stores this morning and I found these for only 75 cents a piece...
and after Lil D hit the nap...I turned them into these...
and then I FINALLY took these (click here) and got them all up and prettified!
Do not mind the big Maxell man over my fireplace (does anyone remember that magazine ad?)...he has been, and always will be, in the tv room of any home that my husband and I live in...it's a long story...and really not that great of one...but he belongs with us...and we love him!
I bought a leaf garland at Micheals and then some Christmas and fall picks in oranges and bronzes (all sparkly and pretty) and filled in the empty spots. I also used extra beads I have from beading to add to the pumpkins. My favorite trick are the leaves in the upside down vase. Maybe you all know this, but I was AMAZED. On the Today show a week or so ago they were showing different centerpieces and used vases filled with stuff and then placed upside down. How do they keep the stuff inside you ask? "press n seal" saran wrap...put it on, press it down, cut off the excess, then turn it over...nice!
After getting the home all decked out (still have a couple more things I am trying to finish up) I made these. And just in time 'cause Lil D was up and we had a train track to lay out and play with. Then off to get a hair cut for the little guy...which he did NOT want (see here). Then we raced to Target (where we were unlucky in candle choices) and to the neighbors and then back home to eat this. After hanging the canvas print from Ikea (we bought 3 weeks ago) above our bed...I gave my husband a beyond needed haircut, bathed the kid and put him to bed. Phew...I think it's about time for me to do the same!
