I've Got That Fall Feeling....

I have been decorated for Fall/Halloween for WEEKS now (actually proud how early I got it done this year!) but hadn't shared my decor yet because I was finding it very difficult to get a good picture of my mantel. The lighting just never seemed right and I hate using the flash, especially for my mantel photos because the wall behind is a mirror.
Anyway, that is my excuse but I finally feel I got some acceptable shots so here they are!!

I am ALL about the details as opposed to the bigger picture......
I thought it would be fun to add in a few cameras from my collection & surround them with leaves, indian corn and pumpkins.
I also made a fun centerpiece for my dining room table. I have had this amazing terrarium type thing for a few months and just hadn't done anything with it yet. As I was trying to decide what do to for a centerpiece it caught my eye and I thought it would be cool to fill it with a few pumpkins.

I added these 2 little gnomes. I thought they were a fun little detail. I found these little guys in an antique store. They had a box full of them. The story was that they were dug up out of the ground somewhere in Germany outside an old toy factory. These most have been the 'misfits'.

Sorry for the picture heavy post. I hope you didn't mind :) I was just excited so share my fall decor. Fall is my favorite!! :) And the nice thing is that after Halloween all I really have to do is take down the black cat garland (which I purchased at Target for $1!) and the decorations can go through Thanksgiving!

The weekend






Here are just a few quick shots from the weekend....It has been a festive fall kind of weekend! Friday we went to a local farm with my sister, bro in law and my nieces & nephew. Saturday we went to 2 fall festivals about an hour from where we live and today we carved our pumpkins.
I LOVE FALL!! :)

Fall Decor Inspiration

I have been searching around the interwebs and Pinterest for some fall decor ideas...and boy did I find lots of great stuff! Below are just some of the things I found that have inspired me and have sort of influenced the way I have decorated around my house.....
I am hoping to have photos of my own fall decor up soon!

Instax Display

Since getting an Instax 210 for my birthday in March I have basically left the pictures laying on a table in a pile...not quite sure what to do with them. Well, I finally came up with a solution!




I bought these decals from Etsy a few years ago (I wish I could remember the exact store but I don't....Sorry!). It finally came to me one day that it would look super cute to make it look like they were hanging from the tree. I grabbed some ribbon I had laying around and had my bf nail it between the branches. I just clipped them up with some cute, colorful bulldog clips and ttaaaddaaaa! I am so excited about this new way to display my Instax (or anything really!)! I will be switching them out all the time :)

Another Kitty Cat Find

On my Thrifting adventures this weekend I found ANOTHER lovely kitty kat treasure.... These embroidered pillows are just amazing and I was so happy to give them a home for $3 a piece :) I was never a 'cat person' as I have mentioned before and would normally not even look twice at any 'cat' related item but since the BF and I got a cat I find myself noticing home decor pieces more while out thrifting. When I go thrifting it is for Hollie Would Vintage for the most part....but these lovely pillows might just have to stay with me...at least for awhile :)
