A Little Fall Decorating

I am slowly putting out my fall decorations and having fun with it. I don't have a whole lot of stuff so I don't feel overwhelmed like I do at Christmas. I love my wreath holder I got several months ago. This is the first time I have used it. My mom found the wreath in a friend's trash. I got it from her and just stuck some flowers and leaves I had in it until I was satisfied with how it looked. The middle looked bare so I took a Dollar Tree plaque I had and made it into a chalkboard with that AWESOME chalkboard paint. Love that stuff!

I was so happy y'all liked my framed pumpkin project in my previous post. You made me feel so good with all those great comments! The very quick and easy instructions are:
* Put some cute paper in a frame. I left out the glass.
*Cut the pumpkin in half with a knife. Mine had styrofoam inside (as most probably do) and was very easy to cut.
* Hot glue the pumpkin to the paper in the frame.
It took me all of 5 minutes, if that. I am all about fast projects! Hope y'all are having a great week so far. It is actually feeling like fall here where I live in the deep South and I am loving it!

    Oh I have never heard of a wreath holder before! (Aren't I lame?) But what a great idea, and I love the wreath AND the chalkboard plaque! Very cute! Actually, your whole little table looks wonderful all decked out for Fall! :)

    Oh, and thank you MUCH for the directions on the pumpkin/pear project. I dug out a pear because I want to do that one first, but was unsure of whether or not to keep the glass in or take it out!

    I hope you are having a good week and enjoying your fall weather! :)

    I like that wreath holder ~ it adds some height to a table top arrangement. Very clever doing the chalkboard paint on the sign; I like that too.

    Very pretty. Ya know what I'm always impressed with? How people can write so nicely on their chalkboards. I just can't. Takes me FOREVER to even get a nice/sloppy something written.\
