Easy Fall Decorating Ideas

 
 I just love decorating for the fall , don't you? It can be as simple as displaying a pumpkin or
 much more, as YOU like it. I had the fun idea of using some of my husband's deer sheds
 in my fall decor this year. I used them to hold a sign here. I also added 
orange lights to my mantle leaves and gourds. 


  I found this old tote on my Farms Chicks adventure last summer. I filled it with sheds
 and faux fall for my mantle. I have just cherished this tote! 


My giant, cinnamon-nutmeg colored, pumpkin is real! I bought it for only $5.99 at 
Trader Joe's. They also had carving pumpkins for only $2.99...what a deal!


My pumpkin truck idea is from Serena Thompson, the original Farm Chick. Check out her blog 
for more ideas at http://thefarmchicks.typepad.com (see the link under "favorites" on the left).  
I used my grandson's vintage truck. Thanks so much, William!


I love my butter churn I found from a collector in Oregon. I filled it with a few faux 
fall leaves around the wooden paddles to make it a fall centerpiece.


Can't forget the yard. I think this old yard art "cutter" looks much like a toothy
pumpkin year round, especially with the flowers vines all around.


And on my porch is my old wooden cart with the season's "bounty". 
However you choose the decorate for fall, a little or a lot, I wish you a fun time. 
Plus, your efforts last from back to school right on through Thanksgiving.
Gotta love that!
