...touches of Autumn around my shabby white mantel...I think I'll link this up to White Wednesday at Faded Charm~
These sweet little resin pumpkins were a horrid orange, but thankfully they took well to the paintbrush
I scored this lovely silver bucket at a tag sale for $1.00!!! My friend and fellow shop girl Mary (aka Chanel's Shabby Rose) gave me these lovely little bottles. I added some french script paper to the inside of the bottles. Very simple and packs a punch, don't you think?They nestle very nicely alongside the antique bottle with old label. I'm linking this up at Vintage Inspiration Friday over at Common Ground.
Here is an old 1902 Holy Communion Certificate. Very French looking and the colors just whisper "Fall" to me.
Look at this huge pumpkin I scored at Home Goods! It's heavier than it looks, and it came just like that...no painting required. All for only $12.99
And what is Fall without some lovely dried hydrangeas I ask you? (resting in a basket I bought at Brimfield)
This is my little pumpkin vignette on my dining room table
The cherubs wanted in on the fun too...
Some adorable paper flowers in my kitchen
I added this sweet basket with delicate flowers against my aprons for a "Fall" touch
And what speaks of Fall better than Jeanne D'Arc Magazine? It's loaded with beautiful ideas to incorporate Fall into your home, mixed with french/farmhouse style. If you haven't had the pleasure of getting your hands on one of these...you may be in luck....
They can be ordered on line and retail between $25.00 and $28.00 depending on who you order from.
Now for the good part....

Wish you a nice week !

I am in awe of your lovely pictures. No wonder you have been featured in a magzine. I am a follower and would love to win either of the magazines in your giveaway. It would be a great birthday present for me as it arrives a little later this month.
ReplyDeleteForgot to add the importance of First Communion as it is one of the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church. Two of my grandchildren will be Confirmed on the 30th of this month. What a treasure your First Communion certificate you showed us on your site. A special moment in time for any soul seeking to love God more.
With gratitude,
Sylvia Faye
