Fall Centerpiece


Hi everyone,
a quick note before I get into the post...I am switching to WordPress very soon. Please continue to follow my blog, I love all my followers and don't want you to miss out on a thing - thanks so much to all of you who follow along my crafting journey! The links for the various ways to follow are directly to your right. I am super excited but a little nervous too!

Beautiful fall leaves & pumpkins...I'm in love....
I was going through my totes filled with fall & Halloween decorations today, and I was inspired.


Isn't it wonderful when you pull out your decor after an entire year of being stored away?
It always brings a smile to my face.



 Here's what I have here:
A glass hurricane vase
Raffia
Decorative apples & pumpkins
A fall wreath that I made a few years ago
A metal pumpkin that I purchased a number of years ago
A square glass & metal leaf candle holder filled with pine cones
A fall leaf & berry garland
A branch from the yard




To put this together I filled the hurricane vase with raffia, place the branch inside the vase and wrapped the garland around the branches. I placed the base of the vase inside the wreath and arranged everything else around the wreath.


I'm thrilled with the impact this gives in the room, it's absolutely stunning.


Such warm colors, that's one of the best things about fall.


And the leaves, and the pumpkins, and the apples....
