I'm Falling for Fall. Or something like that.

This posty-poo is linked toThe DIY Show Off is Fall Festival Week #5 ,Cheri's Celebrate the Holidays  , Katie of K @ J fame's fall party , and Kara's Party too! I cannot believe the fantabulous fall inspiration out there in blogland....so many creative folks out there welcoming the season.







There's lots of fun linky parties on Monday, each with a slightly different focus.  To see other parties I've joined up with see this post.  Mondays are busy ones in the blogsphere :o)  Thank the gods, because Mondays used to be the bane of my existence.  'Course it's kinda sick that my motivation to get outta bed is a computer screen filled with decorating eye candy.  Ahem.

So here's some more sprucing I've done:

Petite widdle pumpkins with their widdle stems taped off.  You know where this is going....

Yep, a widdle Heirloom White spray paint (this is made by Rustoleum under either the 'American Accents' or 'Painter's Touch' line---had an email that I tried to respond to but it kept bouncing. Sorry about that M!)  Looks kinda cool all drippy like that, eh?  I don't think I shook the can for the proverbial 2 minutes (but I gotta tell ya, when you do, it makes

ALL the difference in the finish!)

Cuteness in my porch wall planter

Some more shots of my porch for the fall.

I also risked life and limb by foraging beneath this tree, fighting off the evil squirrels

Look at the bark....LOVE the texture and peely-ness.  Who knew nature could be so shabby chic?

Here's what I was pinching from the squirrels

Thought this a la naturel material would look spiffy all gathered up here

On my  iron birdie thing-a-ma-bob...they're mucho cute, IMO.

Lastly, I picked up some style-challenged wood candle sticks with good bones and gave them a coat of

Krylons Oil Rubbed Bronze.  Delish, I tell ya.

They helped complete this coffee table vignette, being the show offs that they now are.

Don't hate them 'cause they're beautiful.  Do you think the Dollar Store birds a wee bit jealous?

Thanks for joining me as I learn my way around 'decorating for the seasons'.  Can't wait to visit everyone else and see what you've been gussy-ing up 'round your places...
