Happy Fall Y'all!!! Happy Thanksgiving too!!!

Hey guys, thanks for going on a decorating journey with me this month!  I greatly appreciate you!!  My house is all decorated and I am loving it, but quite honestly I can't wait to start decorating for winter!!!!!  Just wait until December!!!  BWAHAHAHAHAHA


Here is the walk through!!!  I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving if you are in the US and if not, have a wonderful day/weekend!!!  I am off to spend time with my loves!!!

This is the dining room table!  I got the little white pumpkins at the dollar store along with the bowls.  The chargers from Michael's, black because it goes with everything in my opinion.  The plates came from Walmart a million years ago, but they always have something!!!  The runner from TJMaxx!

Close up!  There are only 4 place settings even though I have 5 now but 2 won't be with us so the empty place setting is in remembrance of those that can't join us. For whatever reason that may be!!

Yes, Virginia, those are Longaberger baskets!!!  I know I know some would think it was crazy but hey at least I am using them, and can you believe the great flowers that come from the dollar store???

This is the buffet also in the dining room, with my little wooden guys, and I have more to paint now!!!  I am really loving getting back into what got me crafting in the first place, making decorations with my mom and sister!!! 

Front door, not much going on out there but the wind is crazy here this time of year!!!  I have rocks in the bottom of the pumpkins just so they won't fly away!!!! 

more dollar store flowers, love love love the variety!!

My wreath, I am super proud of this wreath!!!

grapevine pumpkins!  got from the craft store!  Sorry the picture is horrible!!!

again, I love that I can leave the ties from the work wreath showing and it looks like a decorative part of the wreath in my opinion!!!

Center Piece

Today is my final craft, my center piece!!! This is actually the first thing I have to get me in the mood to start decorating again!!!!  Ok now if you are a longaberger basket  purist please leave my blog now...  If you are a longaberger basket lover and don't mind them being altered then stay with me, if you have no idea what longaberger is then you are safe!!!  LOL  I started collecting baskets years ago, like lots and lots of years ago!!!anyway for a long time they just sat on top of my cabinets collecting dust, and whatever else decided to go up there, then during the preparations for the move they went into a box because clutter, even after we moved here they didn't come out of their box because this rental house has nowhere for me to use them....  soooooooooo I decided to use them for a centerpiece....  that being said this centerpiece involves hot glue, now you know why you need to leave if you are a purist.   Yes I did it, I hot glued longaberger baskets together to make a flower centerpiece!!!  Here it is, i will have more pictures on the final showing soon!!

you can barely see the third basket in the middle because of all the flowers but it is there, 3 longaberger baskets hot glued together with dollar store flowers and pumpkins!!!  Hey at least they are being used!!!! 

Wreaths and flower arrangements for outside

Yep, the title says it all, I have made a new wreath with the same things I used to make the garland and then I got some of the foam pumpkins, the smallest was from Michael's with a coupon of course, and the other two were from Walmart and still cost less than the one I got with the coupon!!  Oh well, they all worked out...  and Believe it or not all of the flowers came from the dollar store!!!

Here is the wreath, I  added some grapevine pumpkins to it to give it a little interest!  I will have a final post to show you where I put everything and how it looks all decorated in a few days! 

this is the wreath when I first thought I was finished with it!

this is the finished wreath that hangs on my door now!  

Now on to the flower arrangement in pumpkins!  I have 3 different sizes of them, you will see all three when I have the final showing!
