A Warm Fall Greeting

I realized I never shared the front of the house decorated for Fall. I enjoy making it welcoming for anyone who comes to the front door. Welcome!!!

Since these pictures were taken, this flag blew away and was never found:( Hope to get a new one for next year! It is amazing how windy it gets here.

As you walk up the side walk a pumpkin, mum and tiny mum greet you. The tiny one is blooming like crazy now:)

Some lanterns to light your way up the steps.

I found these little cut out gourds several years ago.

One sits right on top of the lantern..

I filled the black lantern with pumpkins, acorns etc.

Another lamtern and faux mum since this gets no sun.

I dried some limelight hydrangeas and filled my urn with fall embellishments. The red impatiens still looks good.

Since I took these pictures the impatiens in the 2 pots got hit by the one night of frost and bit the dust:( The houseplant has been moved inside.

I never got around to making a new wreath for the door but I still love this one.

This mailbox swag has seen better days so will have to be replaced next year. The sun fades it a lot.

Thanks for your visit. I am late posting today as yesterday was VERY busy til late last night. Have a beautiful day.

XO, Pinky

Pumpkins for a late Fall Table

I set a new, late Fall table. It features lots of pumpkins; on the runner, in the centerpiece, on the plates etc. My favorite though are these teeny pumpkins on the chair napkin rings! I love these napkin rings and look for little things to place on them for different tables. I first saw them on our dear fellow bloggers site, Pat from Back Porch Musings. I think of her every time I use them. I miss her a lot. What a classy lady she was!!!

The runner has a little sparkle and the ceramic pumpkins look so pretty against it.

I like to place a little something under the pumpkins. Just a little fluff elevates them and gives them an "Oomph" factor:)

I made this centerpiece several years ago and it usually is in the kitchen. I placed it on a wood slice for some added texture.

The S and P are a pumpkin and an acorn in a wire basket.

My pumpkin plates that came from Walmart, this year.

The burlap covered pumpkins go with the burlap chargers and napkins.

Amber bubble goblets for our beverages.

I used my tan bamboo flatware for this table.

Some details of the centerpiece.

I gathered an orange and a burlap type material napkin together.

Some nighttime shots.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I am dying to start Christmas but am using restraint:) Plus I am having guests for a breakfast on the 21st so will start on the 22nd:)

Sparkle on the Coffee Table!

I decided to do a new vignette on the coffee table. I am VERY antsy to start decorating for Christmas but am using great restraint:) It is NOT easy people! So here is what I have done, hope you like it. This little pumpkin is glass. I found it recently and fell in LOVE! It is sitting on a silver footed bowl that I turned upside down.

This is a sparkly pumpkin that I borrowed from the credenza.

This one used to be on the dining table but now Thanksgiving is going there for a few weeks. I sat it in my blue and white pedestal bowl.

I used one of my mercury glass candle sticks with an LED candle that is sitting on some sparkly leaves.

The sparkly pumpkins look pretty against the pumpkin pillow.

I also have a mercury glass votive holder in the vignette. I am liking the sparkle and shine against the texture of the basket tray.

2 sparkly pumpkins are sitting on the tiered piece by the chair too.

The sun was setting so I took a few shots.

I was trying to catch the "blue hour" but couldn't.

This is a cozy room at night. I am not happy that we will be losing daylight savings time but at least I have this cozy room to be in! SOON, it will have the sparkle of Christmas!

Joe made me the valances over the blinds. He trimmed them with bamboo molding that I love. Some of you may remember the mantle he made with that molding in the old house.
