A Tour of Our Autumn Loveliness
It's all about simplicity here. I filled a bowl full of apples. I am still so busy with apples, so these few can do a good job of sitting and looking pretty for the time being.
This is the newest member of our family. Do you like? Our neighbors gave it to us! Can you believe the rocking awesome neighbors we have? Nothing like having neighbors who you feel are like a fill in set of parents and friends all at the same time. They are such wonderful, wonderful people and we are so blessed by them! Anyway, I really want to decorate the dern thing but can't come up with anything...any ideas?
Alright I left out the best part of this picture...the tv right above the cut off. Here is my mantle this year/so far/I give up. It's lame. Emma added leaves. Which are dead. D.E.A.D. But she REALLY wanted to add them. I want height, flare, pizazz, but again, ginormous television about it kind of prevents from having huge cornucopias or anything...I'm still working on this. I think I may have to go shopping for some inspiration! Do they sell inspiration?
Here's the center of my mantle, again...LAME!!! I'm working on it. This is by no means the finished product. I'm just going to keep telling myself that.
Here is my centerpiece on the dining room table. Simple. Is this lame that I used a wreath as a candle ring? Let's call it inventive!
Here's my front door wreath. Kind of proud of this thing because there's a story behind it. My Grandma (whom I love dearly) makes wreathes, bless her heart. Well since I had a purple bedroom when I was, oh about six years old, every wreath I get has purple roses. Big, plump, lacivious looking roses.
Well anywho when we moved back home from Indianapolis she wanted to make me a wreath for my door. I summoned all the courage in the world to tell her I had a different idea for a wreath...one with Fall colors since we moved in in September, and I gave her a picture of one like this.
And she made it for me. As far as I know I'm one of the only people to ever get a wreath with no flowers on it. She thought it was ugly but said if that's what I want she'll make it. I think it's just grand.
