6th Glimpse of Fall - FlashBack

 
 
 
 
Today was rainy and gloomy all day, I was in bed half the day with a migraine, but here I am, determined to fulfill this stupid commitment. I'm not even going to mention how it's after 12, so technical...bla, bla, bla. My internal clock is off that's all, it's still Thursday for me, especially when you take into account the fact that I didn't get to sleep until sometime after 5:30am...
 
So I'm sharing a few photos from last year, my little Fall into Halloween, Garden-scape
 

I did a post on this last year, on my "missing" blog, so I thought it would be OK, to re-post, since the original is floating somewhere out in cyberspace.


My Scarecrows are old, maybe 20 years, or so, and very special to me. My Sister-in-law made one for me, and I like it so much I wanted a pair, so I copied hers, and now I have 2. She passed a way a few years ago (8 to be exact) so they are special.



Below, is where my decor changed a little for Halloween, I made a Boo, Banner



The Boo was my first attempt at printing on Burlap, actually my only attempt, although I'm not sure why, I love the way it turned out, and it was fairly easy.

All you need to do is, lightly spray a piece of copy paper with spray adhesive, press the burlap down smooth it out, trim the burlap so it's the same size as the paper. Place it in the printer and print, just as you would a plain piece of paper

 
I think the Scarecrow above, is the one I painted and the one below is the one Michelle made for me



 I replaced the flowers with the skull, I thought it was little more Halloween-ish





It's not easy doing a post with a Migraine Hangover, but the main thing is I did one. I challenged myself, and here I am
day 6.


Succeed or not, I'll do a finale "Commitment" post to sum it all up, if you've been following along or just happen to catch one, Thank you so much for being a part of my Journey.

5th Glimpse of Fall - In a Vintage Suitcase

 
I've been shopping in my attic again, I discovered 4 Vintage Suitcases, I knew they were there, but just getting around to bringing them down...
 

 
This one, my son used as a little boy, he kept toys in and sometimes pretended he was going on a trip
 

Once he out grew this phase of childhood, I kept his school papers in, and as he got older it was moved to the attic, to make room for other things



I filled it with squash, plastic gourds, pine cone, faux leaves, a little rusty gear, and a thrift store gold frame



 Total cost for my little vignette, $0, lucky because that's about what my Fall Decorating budget is!


The suitcase sits on a little folding stool, I got this summer at a yard sale for $1, the Candlesticks I've had forever, although they did come from a yard sale, for $6. The Globe was a earlier thrift store find, for a mere $6. Bargains that last and can be used over and over again, I love it!






This little corner, with it's stone steps is one of my favorite places to play...


Well, I lost my race with time again tonight, my goal of a Fall post a day, is slowly fading, but I'm not giving up on it yet, I'm getting there, an hour late today, but I did it!

2nd Glimpse of Fall and a Commitment

 
 
I have made a commitment to myself to post " A Glimpse of Fall" Every Day, for a Week, starting today, well really yesterday, but I made the commitment today. I have 10 minutes to post this to meet my commitment.
 
 
I had just begun to play with my little Aqua Garden, when it started to rain, (ugh) since I had made a commitment to post glimpses of Fall, I really wanted to get enough done to take some pictures and do a post. So this is a glimpse of Fall, with a little of Summer hanging on. (I'm not really ready to let summer go completly yet, anyway...)
 

So I hope you enjoy, my Fall in progress garden




Just a few little touches, for starters

First Glimpse of Fall - Window Table Runner


 
I was messing around with my Old Window the other day, using it as a back drop for some pictures, on a table in my yard, when I was done taking pictures I laid the window on the table and an idea was born!


I could use this for a Table Runner...





So that got me motivated to gather all things Fall. I have always wanted one of these Wheat Bunches that stand up, I just think they are so Majestic the way they stand up so straight and tall. A few weeks ago I walked into the GW and I spotted it, clear across the store, I tried not to look to excited or make a mad dash for it, I breathed a sigh of relief as I proudly placed it in my Buggie, another item crossed off my wish list, and can you believe it was only $1.99~ it's so me...


I also found the vine Pumpkins at the GW, 2 for .99, and they had 3 Packages, (Brand new!)
The Indian Corn I found at a yard sale, the other Pumpkins I had from last year (Dollar Store, Painted)


I had to throw up my folding screen, cause the weeds Flowers in the Background clashed with my Fall Table. It worked pretty good, except I couldn't get a really good shot of the whole table...


I almost forgot, I stuck that old Rusty Pitchfork in there, I thought it added a little class, don't you agree?


I tied the mini Indian Corn around the Wheat
