Fall is here. I would like to decorate for it. We have minimal storage (read no garage, no hall closet, no utility closet, no linen closet!) meaning i cant store a ton of pretty things to be used once a year. But I would like to have a few things. My stop at Joanne fabric was temptation city. I left with just 2 items, but it was close. I think a cute fall sign will make its way home with me next week! This week i bought a cute harvest sign for the yard, and a cute Halloween tray. Dh and I are not big Halloween people, neither one of us was allowed to trick or treat as a child. I don't care for creepy decorations either but I LOVE this tray. Its cutely painted and very inexpensive. Best of all I didn't move anything or store any of our regular decorations to put it up.
Normal:
After:
The tray was normally like $4 on sale for $2.80.
Front door:
Rug was purchased mega clearance last year, I want to say for $3. Door bell was .95. (We use one year round, supposedly it helps potty train dogs. They learn to ring it with their nose when they need to potty. Big dog did it for awhile but he used it to go play outside more then potty! We need to teach them again.) We were married between the candle holders, they stay in the living room year round. I think they need some orange candles.
My thrift store pumpkins:
SO CHEAP! The two big ones were $2.50 total, the small ones were .70 total, and the medium one was .95. The bell for the back door was .95. The big ones will go on the porch.
This display I'm having problems with, it does not look quite right. The 3 drawer chest (Bombay $9 at thrift store!) has to stay dh stores his man stuff in it. Of course all the video game systems and TV equipment have to stay as well. Hmmm must think.
Quilt:
Purchased for $5 at a garage sale. Its going to sit on the couch, but its not out yet.
The harvest sign purchased today was $7.50 half off. I dont have a picture yet.
Confession, ALL these pictures were taken in the living room. Its being painted. The surgery threw off my painting but I'm hoping my mom and I can finish on Sunday. The first picture is the color being painted. LOVE it!
Total $23.15 so far!
