Fall Decorating and New Stitchery

Hi. I hope you all had a restful Labor Day weekend. I guess that means that it is officially time to dig out all of our fall goodies and begin decorating!! I know many of you have already started. I got a few things out as I was cleaning over the weekend. I just decorated the family room as of right now and wanted to share what I have out. More will follow!!

I replaced the rose hips in the wooden bowl for putka pods. The stitchery is one I made years ago.

I added the crocks and bittersweet to the mantle. Good thing I have fake stuff. My bittersweet, which grew like crazy this year, had very few berries. I was bummed. I'm not sure if I should plant another female plant or fertilize more or what. I don't do much to it because it grows so well in the wild, I didn't think I had to.

My SIL gave me this box a few years ago. I holds all of my Country Samplers and Mercantile Gatherings. I bought the pillow a couple of years ago.

This fall arrangement came partly from a garage sale. I had bought a couple of the bunches at a store and loved them. I came across about 5 more bunches at a GS a couple of years ago. I was so happy!! The apple butter stirrer came from a GS this year.

My little kitty came from Annie at Olde Annie Primitives. I won it in a contest where we had to count kitties on her blog. Since I have so many here at my house, counting is one of my specialties. I just love it in my bowl of putka pods. Thanks, Annie!!

This is the cranberry scoop that I picked up last month. I decided to put some sunflowers in it. It brightens up our entryway.

Here is the bittersweet that I picked. I guess it is better than nothing, but not what I had hoped for. I need to be out checking ditches!!

I added a Thanksgiving stitchery to my selling blog and have a couple of more things just about done that I may add tomorrow. Check it out if you get time.

Have a great evening. Thanks for stopping by!!
