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

Fall Blessings: Mantel Scape 2011

Numbers 6:24

"The LORD bless you and keep you;" (NIV)

 

 

 

The other day I posted my, Dryer Vent Pumpkins and a few other Fall Crafts from Last year, you can check out that post here: http://findingsecrettreasure.blogspot.com/2012/08/budget-friendly-super-friendly-fall.html

Here's how I used my Pumpkins, and "stuff"

Most of the treasures I used were either, Thrifted, Salvaged, or Found. I love creating a "picture" with very little or no money, it is so much more challenging than simply going out and buying...

With that said, I wouldn't mind taking on that challenge also, just walk into a store and buy what I like? I think I would enjoy that once in a while too...

I think a combination of the two would be perfect, oh well enough reflecting and dreaming, I'll just let you take a peek, and keep my words to a minimum.

I think I'll enjoy a little more Summer, before I start on this years Fall Decor

Summer Porch Corner - Flower Planters

Isaiah 65:8

This is what the LORD says: "As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and people say, 'Don't destroy it, there is still a blessing in it,' so will I do in behalf of my servants; I will not destroy them all." (NIV)

Another corner of the porch, ready for summer

I tend to do things in sections, it makes it seem more manageable. If I would try to design and set up the entire porch or room, I might never get passed the "planning" stage. This way I can plan it, do it, and move on. Do you work this way? or are you an all or nothing type?

I have used these grape presses for planting on my porch for many years. This corner of the porch gets little light so it is perfect for Impatiens, and not so perfect for picture taking.

I've done my best to lighten up the pictures. The Hydrangeas will probably not stay here but be planted in the front garden. I do like them here for now and they provide a bit of color until I get more annuals and have the front garden ready.

I use an old hanging basket inside my one crock, it fits perfect and allows for great drainage.

On top of another Large Crock is is another Grape Press, both the presses were my Father-in-Laws. Some of the crocks were my Mom's and some from my Father-in-law. I lined both presses with natural flower basket inserts for easier planting and care.

I added the Meat Grinder and Scale this year, I like the little flower tucked in the Meat Grinder, hopefully it will survive and thrive.

The Lanterns I've used before, (I think I have 5) were a rescue from the scrap yard
