Can you believe it is October?!  Where has this year flown to?  My hubby has our first pile of fallen leaves out for pick-up already!

I haven’t done a lot of fall decorating yet – I’ve had a few busy weeks recently 😀  I do have some fun pumpkins now and hope to do a tablescape soon.  I created a couple of fall bouquets out of some dried stuff I bought at the Springfield flea and some of my own Hydrangea and some pussy willows I had from Spring.

I had this cute potted plant left over from our booth in The Vintage Marketplace and I wanted it inside.  But inside plants in clay pots are a pain to keep watered without making a mess.

So I took a pot that was a bit bigger and stuffed a thick layer of paper towels in the bottom.

And placed the potted plant inside the bigger pot.

Then I set it inside this cool vintage metal lampshade.

I guess it is a lampshade – not really sure.

A friend had these at the flea and I sold several of them for her in our booth.  And I kept a few!  I like the idea of turning them into a string of outdoor lights someday.

I also like the way the clay pot fits inside and it adds a bit of an industrial touch to my living room.

I added my rusty diamond tiara for a bit of bling.

A bit of bling never hurt anything did it?!

And then I tucked it in here with one of my fall bouquets.  The other bouquet is on the front porch and I’ll be getting some pics of that soon.

I love the mix of colors of the dried Hydrangea.  I still can’t believe we are into fall already – I really wasn’t ready to give up summer.

I tucked a glittered crown pick into the arrangement – another bit of bling.  I love glass glittered stuff 😀

Are you ready for fall?  Since it’s already here and in full swing?!  Is your house looking like fall?  What is your favorite thing about the Autumn season?
