Little Fall Throughout the House

Hello, dear friends. I hope your week is going well, and you have had the opportunity to do something that you truly enjoy. Today I thought I would share just little photos of my home and fall decor. It is not all complete , but I think I am ready to move some Halloween decor into the mix.  

My sofa table is crammed fall with vintage items and fall goodness. I have 3 cross stitches that are all freebies. The "Pumpkin House " is a freebie from La Comtesse & Le Point de Croix blog. The Autumn Bird is a freebie from Waxing Moon Designs available on her website.  "Happy Cat" is one of my designs and is available by clicking here.  This year I used black and white buffalo checked runners and table cloths on all of my tables. I love the look, and they transition between seasons well. The little squirrel salt and pepper shakers are Dollar Tree finds. Aren't they the sweetest.?

I use a plate stand that I got at the Goodwill as a tiered tray. I just change out the plates for the season. I have orange Dollar Tree plates on the stand now. Usually I keep the same milk glass pieces on the stand but just change out the decor. I added little salt and pepper shakers from Walmart and Family Dollar on the top tier. 

Little saucers and milk glass containers and a small plaque round out the bottom tier of the plate stand. 

This is just a glimpse of some of my dining table decor. We do not eat here so it is a great place to decorate. The newest addition to my fall decor is the little red truck that I got a few weeks ago from Family Dollar. Though the pics are glued in , I think I will try to remove them and change them out by the season. I would like to get another one of these trucks to paint a different color too. The stitching in the background is one of my pieces that I just completed. I finished it in a thrifted frame and used an old shirt as finishing fabric.   

This is a new tiered tray that my daughter got me. I is filled it with pumpkins, pics, salt and pepper shakers and gingham pumpkins from the Dollar General. I just got the little "Thankful " salt box at Walmart. I think I will paint windows and a door on the opposite side so I can turn it around and have it displayed even after the fall season.  The little Autumn piece is another one of my stitches that I just completed and is finished on a Dollar General stand.

Stacks of fall and Halloween quilts are waiting to be put somewhere. 

Here is a peek of my buffet with pumpkins, scarecrows and crow stitching. The  saltbox stitching is one of mine called Autumn at Crow Creek. Click here if you would like to stitch it. It is a freebie. 

We live in an old house and in the living room is a brick plant stand that was constructed by the original owners . It was later converted into a glass cabinet.   Well below it, I have an enamelware red pot filled with a quilt, pumpkin, sunflowers and Dollar Tree metal cornstalks. That lantern is from the Goodwill for just a dollar.  Score!

This is a small glimpse at one of my hoosiers. It is filled with old crocks , pottery, a pip berry garland and crows. I am an advertising tin collector and the shelf on the wall near the ceiling is jammed packed with tins.  Old tobacco prints are behind the hoosier. Farmers could get these at the tobacco market when they took their tobacco crop to sell in the 90's. 

The little dough bowl is filled with thrifted goodies, a homemade pumpkin and a freebie cross stitch. 

On the old wooden bench is some old crocks, a homemade prim pumpkin made from a skirt, a punch needle of one of my designs and a small rug hook of my design. A riser stool holds a little quilt, a yo yo quilt and a small freebie stitch. 

  A few of my favorite autumn stitches in the living room including " The Goode Huswife's ' Ida Mae" and The Wooley Ewe's Autumn at Sunflower Ridge. " 

And tonight I have a finish to add to my Halloween decor which is Lizzie Kate's Spooky String. Here it is paired with my Halloween abc quilt. 

Well that is a little bit of fall going on in my home. I hope that you are enjoying your fall/ Halloween decorating even though it might not feel like fall in some areas. Lol.  Thank you so much for dropping in . Please come back and  visit anytime. 

Happy fall decorating,

Melisa
