Welcome Autumn with Fall Tablescapes
In this large jar Madeline filled it with dried split peas to add color and texture. For another inexpensive vase she used a baby food jar to hold fresh herbs. Small clear votive candle holders were wrapped in leaves secured with a rubber band.U Pick Red Barn in Idaho Falls is a darling little place to go and pick some pumpkins! I loved the cute red barn..refurbished by a couple dads for their sons to start a small business so the boys could learn how to make some money for their missions.
I thought this large pumpkin tree was so cool!

Fall 2012
The Centerpiece of my week has been this....
I have been working on my front porch...getting it all ready for fall! My daughter Madeline helped me so much. It is so fun having her live so close by.
We have fun!
I love all the colors of fall...they make me feel giddy inside! I think it is because fall represents the beginning of the holidays to me. I love Halloween and everything that goes with it..as a kid I couldn't wait for the show "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" to air on TV...our little TV..the kind that you would have to get up out of your chair to manually change the channel! Watching that show would get me so excited for Halloween and I always wanted to have a really fun Halloween party with all my friends!
Living in New Jersey as a kid was magical...I remember going to many pumpkin festivals and eating candied apples! Drinking hot apple cider and eating cinnamon donuts, shopping for a cheapy costume with a plastic mask, asking for donations to be made to UNICEF while trick or treating, carving messy pumpkins, and watching The Great Pumpkin the night of Halloween not missing a single minute! The main thing I remember about this time of year as a kid was the colors of the leaves ....they were breathtaking even for a young child such as I.
I think I am passing my love of Fall, Halloween and the holidays onto my precious granddaughter as she loves to squeeze the pumpkins and smell the flowers and wants to help in the whole process of creating a visual feast! But SHE is the visual feast for me :)
