Fall Decor

Even in Florida - fall is here.  We have a little color and nice cool weather.  And I can still enjoy the beach!!!  Love it!  Thank you, God, for such wonderful pleasures of this life.

Just a splash of color leaves.  Is the old pitcher gorgeous?  It belongs to my friend, Debbie Lanning.  When she was moving it was in her "not taking with me" pile.  I figure I can use it until she decidess she wants it back - then she has to come get it!!!!!  grin

Hank made me the candle box out of an old pallet.  I love it.  Sometimes I put  little sprigs of berries in it.


Again, just adding some leaves and pinecones and small handmade wreaths.  

I added some fall flowers to a pottery vase Mark made in school last year. 
 Love the teal color with the fall flowers!
On my buffet is a plate I found at a Bible Book store years ago, the strainer my grandmother used to make applesauce with, and more leaves!

So, I am happy with the touch of fall in our home.  Soon I will bring out the pumpkins and gourds!  Fun and beautiful season!

Hope you all are enjoying this season.  Take time to reflect on our blessings from our Father above who loves us!
