So, the a-kerns are done and the temp (thank heavens) has
dropped and I'm ready for a little fall something - something.
I hit a few thrift stores last week just to see if I could pull something interesting together using only what junk I could find and by shopping my house. Here are the results.....
I found the little home-make squirrel box first.
Isn't it the cutest thing?
It, the basket, the wooden box, the books and the
picture frame were only $1 each. The glass jar was
a whoppin' $3 and the leaf wall shelf (turned upside down
and used as a bookend) was only $2. I shopped the yard
and the house for everything else -- free!
I changed the picture in the frame out for a piece of burlap
Happy Fall!

ReplyDeleteLindy, what a beautiful Fall vignette!! I especially love the leaf cut out of an old magazine on the burlap-awesome!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great and your photography is wonderful. Loving the leaf art.

ReplyDeleteI was wondering where you got the acorn??
I'll go back and read again, maybe I over-looked that part.
I would love one like it here at Our Little Acorn Cottage. lol
Take Care

I love using books as decoration! Great finds. It all came together so well!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many treasures on that table, but that burlap with the leaf print from the book page is my absolute favorite. I want to copy that!!

Thank you for sharing your tutorial too cute -plus what a cute little squirrel box :-)
ReplyDeleteokay, your little framed leaf is adorable, but I have to say that wooden Squirrel basket (I don't know what else to call it :) is too cool...have to show the DH and agitate for one of my own :)
ReplyDeleteAww! I can just imagine that some little boy made that squirrel box for his mother in shop class at school or something... it's so cute, I love it! Your display looks great! Hooray for thrift stores!
ReplyDeleteTania
