Autumn Open House

Thank you to Deena at Can I Be Pretty In Pink for hosting the Autumn Open House ! You can click on the link to a list of all the other open house blogs !

Welcome to humble home !! Fall left and we had early winter , so any snap shots outside just went out the door !! I have taken some shots of a few little fall decor areas in my home for you to view !

Starting with the top of an old vintage cupboard in my living room , ( the photo is of the top too , so it looks a little crummy...that's because it was an old cupboard I striped and refinished , some was not very good condition , but has more sentimental value than anything) .I have a display of some of my white pottery ( I love white pottery) with some fall shades of glassware and a glass dome covering some treasures of fall ! I know , the poor little pheasant has a broken beak but it is a treasure that was my aunts, so I keep it for that !





A fall arrangement of florals!




Sitting on a shelf in my kitchen is an orange Fiesta Ware gravy bowl filled with a candy treat ! I like to take candy corn and mix with dry roasted peanuts ! Sounds crazy , but it really does taste good together !


A vintage glass dome that I filled with some "beaded" fruit , sits next to a lamp, sorry for the dark photo !!
A basket that sits on a ledge by my stairs , filled with some boyds bears that a friend gave me a years ago and some other little things , a pumpkin, scarecrow and a crow on sticks that I made a long time ago !!
I usually set this sugar creamer set out in the fall because it has the wheat pattern ( Harvest ), my dad was a farmer & this was from a set of dishes my mother had , I kept these !!
Last I have a tin container that hangs on a closet door , I fill it with greens for the season ! Hope you all have a blessed fall and Thanksgiving ! Every season has a purpose and I always think of fall and harvest ( as a farmers daughter ) and how much we are to be thankful for and how blessed we all are !!! I thank God every day for all that He has done for me and in me & pray that you will be blessed !
