To take care of my fall decor needs I made a couple visits to my favorite stores (in no particular order) Michael's, JoAnn's & Hobby Lobby! I should have gone to Hobby Lobby first because they had a ton of stuff and it was all 50%, but I was by the other stores first. But I got everything on sale (40-50% off) so it worked out okay.
Now for some pictures...
Our kitchen table centerpiece
On top of our DVD shelf
The leaf candle holder is from Michael's, the pumpkin & decoration around it are from Hobby Lobby. Under that is the other green napkin from Hobby Lobby. While reading another blog (and I cannot remember which one, oops!) I snagged an idea from them. Each year of their marriage they buy a new (fake) decorative pumpkin & write the number for which year it is on the bottom. I loved the idea of giving a simple decoration sentimental value! So we have started that tradition too and above is our first pumpkin! :)
Our fireplace area
Since our TV and all that goes with it is on top of our mantle, I'm left with decorating around it. I got the cute Happy Harvest sign at Hobby Lobby. It's made to sit somewhere, but it got lost when I put in on the ground in front of the fireplace. So I took a small nail & hung it from a P on the front of the mantle. It stands out great against the white wood. I got the scarecrow from JoAnn's (he was too cute & I think it's Brett's favorite). And on the opposite side is a 2nd candle holder from Michael's.
I hope you enjoyed our fall decorations! Since we live in such a small space I can't go too over board on the decorations. But I do have pumpkin and apple candles all over! Unfortunately nothing was handmade (I wouldn't know what fall craft to make besides something with pine cones or pumpkins), but maybe I'll think of something!
While I was out shopping I came across fake carve-able pumpkins. So cool! Did anyone else know they existed?! No mess & you can reuse it--cool! But then again I love munching on baked pumpkin seeds. Mmmmm...
Hope you're getting in the fall decorating spirit! Not too many hours before its the 1st of October!
Blessings,
Lauren
P.S. While getting my fall decorations I also got supplies for a couple jewelry projects that I'm super excited about. And I'm looking around on etsy for supplies for another one. Stay tuned!! :)
OK this is funny because I just spent a long while walking around HL yesterday. I want every piece of fall decor! And Christmas too for that matter. I am going back today haha! And I'm definitely stealing that pumpkin numbering idea. So cute! Except I will have to buy 2, one for last year. haha oh well.
