Fall In The Foyer 2014

 Today I am sharing our foyer dressed up for Fall .. This chest and mirror are the only furniture in the foyer.
 I used a vintage scale topped with a vintage silver bowl with a sweater pumpkin in it..I made the book page pumpkin last year .. you can find the directions here..
 One of my favorite Fall cross stitch pieces is on display ..
 Love the pedestal bowl with some fall berries with a pumpkin inside ..
 I draped the stairs with burlap , fall leaf garlands and berries. Three big burlap bows top it off. I will be adding mini  white lights soon and then of course Halloween decorations to the railing.

 Burlap sunnflowers are added to the burlap bow on the coffee filter wreath..
 This wrought iron tiered planter holds faux sunflowers ..after this Saturday it will be holding pumpkins and gourds..A chalkboard made from a thrift store frame sits in the top basket.
 I found this hamper like basket at the Goodwill and placed it next to the chest with a rooster and fall floral pick..
I have been stitching away on Plum Street Samplers Cinnamon Stars .. Hope to get it finished and displayed soon !
Sunset last night ..
Zinnias still going strong in the garden ! Some of my plants are 6 feet tall !

Fall Table Runner and Changes in the Dining Room

 Good Monday Morning ! Hope you had a great weekend !
I decided that I needed something on my dining room table, so I made this easy table runner.
 I used some plaid homespun fabric, and cut two strips of burlap to fit . I sewed the ends together and turned it right side out and sewed the hems on each end . Then I sewed the burlap on.
 I cut felt oak leaves ..I found a pattern on the internet and then enlarged it to make the shadow. I used 2 different bron colors.
 I took gold puffy fabric paint and used it for the veins on the leaves and to make swirl designs on the burlap.
 Now for the changes in the dining room, on Thursday my daughter and I went to 2 estate sales.
 At the first one we didn't get much , she got a candle stick and I got some Christmas floral pics and red check ribbon.
 At the second estate sale there was a set of the exact dishes I wanted for my hutch ! I tried to resist but they came home with me ! :) I also got that copper bucket $ 2.50 ! , and stuck the rooster and some fall berry pics in it.
 They were $30.00 for the set of 8 place settings plus 2 large serving bowls, 2 small serving bowls and a platter. They are off white with a little antiquing around the edges.

 On our way home I googled them and I got a fabulous deal ! The platter and big mixing bowls are $22.00 a piece .. A place setting is $55.00 ! I was so excited we had to come home and immediately fill up that hutch !
 It was so nice to find exactly what I wanted at such a reasonable price!
 Love estate sales ! And the Good Will! And church rummage sales :) Ok.. all thrifting !
 They look gorgeous in my hutch and I am already deciding what I am going to do with them at Christmas Time !

I have been stitching this Beggars Night by Threadwork Primitives.
Have a wonderful day ! Thanks as always for stopping by and your nice comments !
