Fall Ideas & Recipes

………………………… ~ …………………………

10 ideas to create or be inspired this Fall Season.  

 

The main entrance decoration is simple with a few orange pumpkins and gray gourds. Using a large pumpkin as a flower container ties everything together.                                      (image 1

~

Setting the tables using pumpkins, gourds, twigs, and wood tree slices will bring out the simple and rustic feel to the tables.                                                                               (images  2   3

Grouping the same items together will give a big impact.  Using the French tian bowl for the apples is unexpected and compliments the display nicely.  If you’re not sure what to use as the center piece for the table, try a big bowl or platter full of white mini pumpkins.       (images  4  5 )

Printable leaves from EAB Designs attached to felted acorns are beautiful & simple together.   Silverbox Creative Studio printable, “I am Thankful For is wonderful as napkin rings, tags or paper chain.  (tutorial how to make felted wool acorns at Tonya Utkina’s website)                                                                                                                              (images  6  7 )

I look forward to doing a little decorating, trying a new recipe (pumpkin muffins/donuts) and enjoying the fall season.  I hope you will too.

Packaging 01: Treats, Tags and Tapes

While shopping at Target for school supplies, I came upon these decorative tapes and had to bring them home.  The price (pack 4/$4.00) was quite reasonable compared to Washi tapes .  There are so many ideas and uses for them on the internet.  Here are a few websites to get ideas and inspirations:     Inspired By Charm, milk and honey, The Sweetest Occasion, Lanalou Style and Pinterest.

I recently used these tapes to package treats and decorate tags.

Here in the Northwest, the cool mornings and nights are starting to slowly settle in and I’m grabbing for my sweaters all the time.  The color orange is not something I think of decorating with or adding to  my wardrobe until the Fall season approaches.  Is orange a seasonal or a year round color for you?

Back to School … NOT on the Supply List

Back to school is not around the corner, it’s here!  The calendar is filling up with activities, meetings and what needs to be done yesterday.  When the school supplies are finished, the sense of “At least I got something done!” helps.  This supply list is not mandatory, it’s optional. I hope you will find something helpful, fun or entertaining.
