Even with Thanksgiving right around the corner, I hadn't spent much time decorating the house for Autumn. I had gathered my little pile of pumpkins and gourds and tossed them in a vintage tool chest on the buffet in the dining room. They were starting to look a little tired, or I was getting a little tired of the look, so when Stacey contacted me to participate in a Thanksgiving vignette party it was just the kick in the pants that I needed to get off my duff and start digging for a fresher look.
I headed for the dungeon basement and started digging. I had actually forgotten about the brown transferware tureen I had, and that candle left over from last years Christmas clearance sales. I had a bit of last years foraged bittersweet tucked away too, along with an old frame and some faux ivy in my craft stash.
I brought my Boston ferns inside last night, (good thing because it was 23 degrees outside last night!) and tucked a few sprigs in a clear glass vase along with the bittersweet. Those are not two things I would normally put together but they seem to be working. I like the green, brown and orange color scheme. The green brings a little bit of freshness inside :)
Bright and beautiful, thanks Stacey!

Very pretty and Autumnal, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, this looks so pretty! That soup tureen is beautiful especially with the little pumpkins in it. Taking cuttings from my ferns is one of my favorite tricks too. Love the texture! Thank you so much for linking up together. You always inspire! :)
ReplyDeleteHI Kathy! Oh, this is so pretty and that tureen is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,

I love brown accents in fall and your transferware is just perfect agains the bright orange and green! Can you tell I'm a color girl? ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the addition of the green with you fall things. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteKathy, this is lovely. I love, love the pops of color and the green! I think anything green gives life to a Fall arrangement. I love the gorgeous dish.

I'm getting so much inspiration from our little party! I have a tureen that I keep out in my dining room and never thought to leave the lid off and fill it with fall goodies! Yours looks lovely! Beautiful display!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love fall so much! We've already had our t-giving but I'm still inspired to "autumn" up the house a bit :)
ReplyDeleteI love your header as I also love canning. I haven't done it much in recent years but hope to get to by next year. Your decorations all look very warm and friendly and lovely!
ReplyDeleteAcho lindas as mini abóboras.Boa semana.Valéria.
ReplyDeleteI love that tureen! The brown, green and orange look wonderful for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteIt was cold last night...24° here. I was glad that I brought in the mums and pumpkins. How pretty the pumpkins look in that brown transferware. Where I want to create a similar look is too close to the heat so the pumpkins just don't hold up. Speaking of which, the squirrels kidnapped all the pumpkins I had on my gardening bench. I was not at all happy with them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the way you've put it all together - and you inspired me to dig in my 'dungeon' (the garage) and get some Thanksgiving decorating done on a bit of a gray day in Oregon. Now, if I could only find some bittersweet!

What a gorgeous soup tureen! I spent all day straightening/cleaning up our dungeon. I gathered four large boxes to bring to a thrift store. And guess what, I did't find a soup tureen anywhere near as pretty as yours!
ReplyDeleteThat all looks so pretty. Love the dish. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
