Fall is in the air....or table :)

September 10, 2009
So, I haven't changed my table centerpiece in months and I just changed it TWICE in ONE week. Figures huh? I guess I was just so darn excited for fall...yippeee! My favorite season :) (not that I'm wishing summer away or anything). But this is no thanks to all you girls who keep showing cute fall decorations over.and.over.and.over. I think I'm going to have a heart attack with all this excitement!

Back to my table (now that I've calmed my heart rate), I used my Martinelli Centerpiece and just added a few fall-esque flares and now I can't wait to sit down for Thanksgiving dinner. Is that weird? Its September and I'm talking about something two months away....oh well. :)
I found these great gourds and pumpkins for 65 cents. 65 CENTS! So, I pretty much had to stock up and just hope (crossing my figures, knocking on wood, etc. etc.) they last until the end of November. Is there a chance??

I found the fall foliage on sale at Joanns for like $6 and this cute little flower below was only $1.


I'm so glad the time has come already to decorate for fall! I'm starting on my porch and can't wait to get it done, but my husband won't let me put any holes in my wood door or the stucco. Any suggestions on how to hang the fall (christmas, spring) foliage w/o doing so?

    Hello Alicia...

    Ohhh my...what a fabulous Autumn centerpiece!!! I love that it stretches the full length of your table...that really makes a statement!!! Beautiful!!! I'm crossing my fingers with you that all of your pretty gourds last till Thanksgiving...I'm thinking that they will! Thank you for sharing your pretty centerpiece with us! Would love to see your porch after you get it decorated!!! I was reading the first comment...the 3M hangers would be a great option...no nail holes and they come right off when you want them to!

    Warmest wishes and Happy Fall!!!

    You were featured for the week, AGAIN. Everyone did such beautiful posts I just couldn't leave anyone out. I hope you post again and I also have a Monday party called the Knock Off Knock Out--something you make or buy that is a knock off of something expensive.

    How beautiful!! I love your centerpiece!! I always have such a hard time coming up with a centerpiece. I have 5 kids so it has to be durable, non-edible (or they eat it) and thin since our table is not as wide as I would like. It makes it hard, but I think I could do something similar to yours on a smaller scale. Thank you for the inspiration!! ;0)
