Fall Decor :: Shop Announcement

We moved into our new home 6 months ago, and I still feel like I'm moving in. It's much smaller than our old place, so a lot of things stayed in boxes in our basement. 

I have been going through them every day week month trying to get rid of things. 

I was just going through a box yesterday when I located my floral stem bin. I opened it to see what I could get rid of when I found some Fall stems I forgot I had.

{so glad I did not buy some two days ago and shopped my home instead!}

I hauled them out and quickly put together a fall arrangement



Is it the most stunning? no. The most beautiful? probably not. Is it perfect for me? Absolutely.

I get to enjoy fall colors without spending a dime

The second arrangement was made using other items I found in that bin.  The pieces were originally intended for a different project, but for now, their on display.


Again, is it the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? Probably not. 

It needs more beads to cover the stems and could use some other things, but it was Free...and I always love free.

They bring me joy to look at them. I love Fall colors and these really bring a great pop of color into my home. 

Shop your home and see what you can come up with. You may just find something that will bring you joy to set up and display.

Some Fall Goodies and a Tutorial

Two things I've worked on this week:





I am loving this Fall wall art. I couldn't decide if I wanted to add the word 'Harvest', 'Faith', or 'Give Thanks'. So I listed it in my shop with the buyers option.



The other items was this Candy Corn inspired wreath:
My kiddos were asking for something "Halloween-y", and I don't really have much in the way of Halloween decor. So I quickly came up with this this morning.


Want to know how to make one? It's super easy and {at most} will cost you less than $3

Supplies needed:
Dollar Store foam wreath
White crepe paper streamer
Orange crepe paper streamer
Glue

Wrap the wreath form in desired color.


Once that's done, cut several strips of each color crepe paper. About 4-5" long.


I alternated my colors, but you could put them however you like. I started with my top and then did the sides.


I decided to leave the center empty as it was just easier and my guys were begging me to hang it up "right now". I'll probably add more to it/change it completely. But it's super cute and works for them.
Just FYI, I completed this this morning in less than an hour...


Have you started you Halloween decorating yet? 
Is it too soon? 
When do you normally start?
