Fall Gathering

  Ok, let me first say, I'm embarrassed that the last time I posted, it was early summer!  Yikes, I really need to get my act together. 

A couple weekends ago, my girls and I headed out to gather a little "Fall" for the front of the house.  On our list every year are the usual suspects...cornstalks, hay bales, pumpkins, mums, Indian corn, and gourds. 

This bittersweet I picked up at the Cary Farmer's Market on Sunday.

My front door should have a great wreath on it, or at least something that my mom made.  But, I was unprepared and used the Indian corn we picked up instead.  To the left of the walk you can see the crazy pumpkin we have growing....it's a left over from last year. 

This was my walk way last year after our big pumpkin haul. 

My mom made this adorable wreath out of an old bushel basket  lid. I love that it still has the original labels. The shop is filled with lots of Autumn inspiration.  So stop by this weekend! We are open this weekend as well as October 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th, 11th. 

Happy Fall!

Fall Welcome!

Fall is my favorite season of the year.  It is so beautiful, and the most pleasant I think.  Like always, I needed a little seasonal welcome at the front door. 

Here's what I came up with this year.  I instantly loved the new look, as did my 9 year old daughter who said, "I like the mums, they give it a nice "pop" of color".

I used a wreath that we had at the shop that mom made.  I think it looks perfect.

I got my mums at Home Depot for about $11.  Not a bad price for the size. 

I couldn't resist buying a couple of pumpkins.  I am like a kid when it comes to pumpkins.  I can never have too many!

Here is a closeup of the wreath mom made.  I love the way she can take a basic grapevine wreath and transform it.  She used some large burlap ribbon which is similar to the burlap ribbon we carry at the shop.  If you are in need of a wonderful wreath for your front door, we still have a couple at the shop.  Have a great week everyone! Happy Fall!
