Autumn's in the Air!

 With school starting and bit of a chill in the air this week,
I believe I'm getting into an autumn frame of mind!
These 2 pallet signs are helping a little bit as well.

Fireplace Log Roller Centerpiece

This antique fire log roller was a recent find at a garage sale.
I picked up this, a bookcase, a chair and a few small items for only $13!
Right now, I'm loving this filled with some autumn colors!

Berry Box Pumpkins

I bought a bunch of berry boxes last year at an auction.
Since then I've used them for various seasons.
They work great this time of year as little painted pumpkins!

Rustic Fall Vignettes

I finally got my FALL on!

And just in time, too.

The last few days have been downright chilly in these parts!

Today I'm showing you a couple of small vignettes I created in my living room.

Autumn Celebration!

This week I'm taking my kids to meet their teachers for the new school year. They're excited and, frankly, so am I, although it's hard to believe I will have a 4th grader. Makes me feel a tiny bit on the old side!
With the start of school, comes thoughts of fall: sweaters, warm drinks with friends on a cool night, movies under a blanket. And, most of all, beautiful autumn colors!
To get in the mood, I've complied a collection of some past fall projects for you to take a look at today.

Proud Momma Moment

My kids let me take some pictures of them. By that, I mean they actually cooperated! Taking a moment away from our regularly scheduled programming to just be a proud mom and show off my kids a little!

Bike Wheel Rag Wreath

While I didn't have the time to snap any nice, fancy pictures of this project, I'm sharing it with you anyway since I think it's pretty fun! With a little rust and some pretty fabric, my daughter's old bicycle wheel makes a pretty autumn rag wreath!

Pretty Pumpkins

I love pumpkins and squash. They come in such gorgeous colors, like the few I chose this year. Bright orange, pale orange, peach, white. They're all so beautiful!

An Apple Sign & Apple Pie

Ahhhh... apples. Sweet, tart. I love them all! And what do you do when you have a bunch of apples? You bake an apple pie, of course!

Apple Pickin'

The kids and I took a trip to Klackle Orchards this weekend. Located in Greenville, MI, they have a wide variety of fun activities for the kids and some pretty cool eye-candy, too! 

Almost Autumn A-Frame Sign

Since everyone seems to be in the autumn frame of mind (and I can't seem to get there, even though the kids are going back to school soon and I need to refresh my booth at the store), I thought I would at least set up a little fall-themed vignette for you while I show off this cute little sandwich-style chalkboard I threw together.
