It’s quite a task to prepare for Autumn in 90 degree weather. So while I’m waiting for the leaves to fall, these inspired ideas help hold me over…

I love the mixture of colors and layered textures in this votive jar. If only it was hanging from a jute ribbon, it might even be better.

I absolutely adore this idea of a baby tree in a burlap sack. Could it get any sweeter? I wouldn’t change a thing.

A pumpkin vase. Now why hadn’t I ever thought of it? Am I the only one?

And you know cooking’s not my thing, but how could I resist baking itty bitty acorn cakes? I could not.

This is a great idea for a little snack buffet… using a family of gourds as serving bowls. Wouldn’t it be even cuter to fill them with different nuts?

And last but not least is my favorite of all… a simple display of pale pumpkins with brown thistles and pinecones. The subdued always seems to win out with me. (if you haven’t noticed;)
I'm with ya on the heat n fall factor. When we live overseas in the tropics, I, too, do what I can. One friend sends me boxes of fall leaves. What a delight she is to my life...

ReplyDeletelove fall. and that acorn form pan is so cute! i was just in william sonoma and must have walked right past it. thanks for the fall goodness today :)
ReplyDeleteThough I've seen so many beautiful pictures of fall decor, I can't seem to get into the mood yet to decorate for it. I want a little more summer...lol! Love the first picture though. I think I just need a little cool weather to get me in the mood. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI love that second picture. It almost makes me want to go dig up a little tree and put it on my table...LOL. That little acorn pan is pretty adorable too :)
ReplyDeleteLovely images! Here we don't start to decorate for christmas before 1st of December, so there's two month still to decorate "autumnish"... I love the subtle changes: pinecorns instead of seashells, some branches, nuts, berries... and candles because it gets early dark now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fall eye candy!! :)

Pale pumpkins were on sale for $5.99 at our local grocery store - I bought three! :)
