So, it's really hard for me to get in the "Fall" mood because Florida doesn't get cool enough or have the pretty trees.....yes, we cool down but it takes forever!!!! Anyway, I try to get inspired and decorate anyway:) I struggle with going to the store and buying already put together swags, and things because a) they usually are pretty pricey and b) they usually aren't exactly what I like. So, I go to Michaels and buy separate pieces of foliage that I like and then break them apart to put around my house.
I am quite impressed with how real these leaves look.
Magnolia leaves that I pulled apart into smaller sections.
Branches of seed pods that I also pulled apart.
Gourds or pumpkins. I had some that looked real but saw these at Ross and had to have them cuz they have glitter and they match my napkin rings I got at Pier One.
Once you have all the different pieces, start layering. I start with the biggest things first and then just add, tucking and layering as I go. Then when it's time to put it away and get out Christmas, just put them back in their "piles" and they are ready for next fall.
Yes, that's a pumpkin on a candlestick....weird but I kinda like it.
That's a big twig pumpkin in the middle...
Happy Fall all!!
