Fall decorating favorites


I am sharing a few favorite "pins" from Pinterest with you today.  I've got my mind on Fall decorating right now.  How about you? 
Love this centerpiece.  I am using an old grater as a cover for an electric candle now in my kitchen. I have it perched on top of my PB wall cubby which has been officially converted to Fall.  I will share that this week.
How about this on your front door instead of a wreath this year? Bet you have a broken rake in the garage!
I am trying to find a long tool box or other crate to convert for my dining room table centerpiece. I love this one. So far what I've found has been way too expensive or has a large handle that would interfere with the candles I hope to use. I think I will use glass hurricanes too.
This one is just too cute! I love it and will have to find a place to do this in our house.  Pinterest has some great photos, links and ideas to share.  Beware though....you may want to set the kitchen timer!  Hours can fly by as you search the site.  I have a few projects on the table to share and some recent finds. Stay tuned.

For all my Texas friends, our prayers are with you during these horrible wild fires. I hope you and yours are safe. xoxo

    The cheese grater as candle decorations! I really liked that. So clever and many times I have seen those old ones at antique fairs and wondered who buys them...I really need to put my Thinking Cap on more!

    Love the old graters. How fun and creative you could be with those.

    I have an old chicken feeder that I am going to bring inside (from the coop) and do something with. Of course, after I clean it major good.

    Vicki, these are great fall photos. I would like to show the mini Indian corn wreath on my blog but don't know if it's yours or if it's ok to do a 'blog this'. Let me know if it's not too much trouble.
    Warm Regards,

    Hard to think about Fall around here since it was 115 today and is still in the 90's at night. I could barely hold the steering wheel when the kids and I left school today just after 3 pm. As soon as November rolls around, I will put a Fall wreath on the door. Have a great rest of the week. Tammy (P.S. Red wine sure doesn't hurt :)

    Oh, please stop the Pinterest temptation!! I've looked once (ok, twice) and was almost swept completely in - but I don't need another addiction!! But thanks for showing some of what you found - love the wreath, and weird, but I just picked up an old rake....not sure what it will become as my door is not conducive to wreaths and such.....And, I have a huge thing for old graters....love them shamelessly.....Hope the day was good to you....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

    Enjoy your evening~Sue

    I am so behind in your blog but am loving catching up. I adore AUTUMN. I can't wait to break out all the decor this weekend. I have a large doughbowl and fill it with gourds. But my favorite thing to do is to take a large ironstone bowl and place a chicken wire cloche on top of it and fill the entire thing with white baby pumpkins. It gets me every time.
