Falling Into Autumn Style

Hello lovelies, did you enjoy your Halloween festivities or partake in any costume cocktail parties?

Well, we had planned to have a nice dinner with friends some time ago, as we usually do every month, but for some reason it didn’t happen until now. So, this weekend will be an autumn harvest style dinner. Since a month had already passed, I was determined to create somewhat of a “tablescape,” or at least give it try for a dose of do-it-yourself decorating. 

I was resolute with the task at hand, and got crafty and inspired by autumn colours. I went to my handy trunk of goodies (including, a wall of trimmings) in search of all things fall: faux fruit, pumpkins, silk leaves, pinecones and many other elements to add to this autumn concoction. 

Of course I could not find the exact scale of pumpkin that I was looking for, so instead of being aggravated I used one of smaller scale, then added more pieces for a different effect than the initial vision. It still worked out. I had the novel idea of adding cinnamon sticks to the centrepiece toward the end of my inspiring decorating journey. 

Ahh, yes, now all that was needed was a clear vase, baskets, and fun placemats to top the table off!

Between using jewellery wire and glue this week, my little hands will surely need some pampering on the weekend. Now that I am slightly exhausted and need to clean up the work area, here’s the result so far and some quick snapshots. What do you think?

Have you decorated for autumn or did you get crafty in the house for Halloween? Next up, as you know the holidays are just around the corner. Ironically, I did happen to even stumble across someone singing Christmas songs already this week. But, let’s talk about that later, shall we?

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
