Dressing Our Cottage For Autumn
October 24th, 2007 by admin
Today, I though I would share a few pictures of the Harvest decorations around our home. We’ve had alot of fun putting things together this year, and I think we’ve decorated more than we ever have! The kids keep saying… everything feels so warm & cozy! I feel the same way, as I love the warmth that all of the candles & warm colors bring!
My husband & I picked up the acorns on a walk a few days ago.
This is my “new vintage” cabinet (I’ll share more about this piece later).
I love the pink & green squash! I picked up the black wooden bowl for $2 a while back!
Such a happy little guy – and how sweet is that little candy sack!
I decided to put this pumpkin on a candle stand.
Such a happy little family – the only way I like the little critters 
I recently picked up this little needlepoint for $1.25!
The vintage looking bubble glass is actually meant for a light fixture. I picked this one up at Lowes for $3!
I loved the marching crows on these prim tea towels.
Here’s the top of my vintage dining room cabinet that we bought for $2 at a yard sale!
Putting it all together
A little family of prim sheep that our good friends bought for us!

Here’s a beautiful pumpkin that our friends gave us for a gift last week! I’ve wanted a pumpkin like this for a while, because I love how real they look!
I hope you’re enjoying your harvest decorations as much as we are!
That was a lovely display of eye candy……I enjoyed every picture!!
These photos are all so Lovely!
What Beautiful vignettes you have set!

Sandra – Thanks so much! I love to try to find a way to use all of my pretty little things
I love your decorations. This is my favorite time of the year. I live in Plains, Georgia-a block and a half from former President Jimmy Carter and we really decorate around here since most homes are from the 1910s.It makes me feel cozy and warm to see pumpkins, scarecrows and many other items on the front porches. I am leaving for West Virginia for a few days and cannot wait to see fall decorations. Happy Fall. Keep posting your wonderful pictures of your home.
Alma – You and I share the same love of this beautiful season!

Love that pumpkin your friend gave you! I’ve never seen one like that – it’s beautiful! The little spider guy with his pumpkin bag is so cute! All of your displays are lovely!

I want to go to yard sales with you
It is all so cheerful yet elegant too. The chicken platter is beautiful, and I really like the black iron basket.
I love that pumpkin in the last picture. Very very nice! warm and friendly.
I love the way you’ve co-ordinated the
colors- it’s so pleasing to the senses.
I also love the way you “seasonalize”
things that could be used in other settings.I especially love the entry
display you’ve created.Thanks for sharing. – Suzie
