Let's Talk Fall ~ A Pretty Rustic Centerpiece

Can you believe it's Fall already!?

Makes me so sad!

Summer is my ultimate favorite season!

And...I love the most, the time I get to have

with my grandchildren. I already miss them.

I don't mind the cooler temps whenever they

might show up but, I hate that it gets dark

so much earlier. Seems there are more hours

of darkness than there is light! And for me there

is! I'm a night owl and stay up half the night then

can't get my tail out of bed until noon or so! I truly

need habits like normal people!

Well I have something fun to show you!

I was on Hometalk the other day and came

across this centerpiece and fell in love with it!

I'm really not a rustic so much kinda girl, but I do

love creating with nature, so maybe that's why it

appealed to me. Or maybe it was her pictures too.

They were pretty. Who knows, I just liked it a lot!

Well of course I had to try it. I had these vases tucked

away and decided they would work. Had the burlap,

had the paper roses from another project I did and

couldn't stop making them, had some real leaves my

little granddaughter Emma and I had collected last

year, even though the original was a paper leaf. I

had the twine, and instead of glue, I used Mod Podge

for attaching the burlap to the vases.......and

I had the candles too. My lucky day!

Well I did use the glue gun for the acorns on the leaf

and attaching the twine to the candleholders, oh and

the flowers and the stick too!

Then I went out in my yard and found the stick and

several acorns. They are already falling off the trees

all over my driveway and yard! Makes such a mess!

The only thing I didn't have was a pumpkin and

a slab of wood with bark. Well I did have some

fabric pumpkins but I wanted a real one, a white

one.....and the right size. Mine were too big.

I saw Tonya had a tutorial, but I just worked from

the pictures.....and with just a couple of small changes

and no wood slab, or pumpkin I did it! Last I set the

candles in and they are ready to decorate with.

And.....I love mine too!

This is our first monogrammed anything!

I printed the W out from Microsoft word, and

stuck it up on my kitchen window and laid my

burlap over it. Instead of painting it, I found

in the junk drawer one of those furniture

touch up pens and it was brown...the perfect

color! And it worked great!

It didn't take long to do at all and it was really fun!

And the best part...It didn't cost me a dime!

Being thankful for stash once again!

 If you love it too and want to make some then visit:

Love of Family & Home here: for Tonya's tutorial!

She even shows how to make those cute fun paper

roses! Now I'm going to find a tray for my pretties

and set them on my buffet in the dining room.

Hope this inspired you to get with the business of Fall!

Thanks for sharing your time with me!

Love and Blessings!
