Fall Vignettes and a BIG Thank You!

I'm all about fall decorating lately and I'm finally ready to show you more fall vignettes.  It's time for Tabletop Tuesday and Nifty Thrifty Tuesday so please hop on over to both of these sites after your visit with me.  Be sure and tell them I sent ya too Okay?


But before I go any further I want to say a great big Thank You to our friend Jennifer from All that Glitters.  She had a fantastic giveaway not to long ago that I was the lucky winner and recipient of.  Girl, I just love all my wonderful goodies!  I won't be featuring them all on display today because one item I'm saving to show you for another very special meme.  However, let me show you what was waiting for me when I got home from running errands on Friday.  Of course I had to open it right away and this is what it looked like inside.

Oh, I love the black and white check ribbon and toile paper!  Thank you!


My very cute red large rooster measuring cups are adorable!


And this candle smells divine.  I can't wait to burn it and enjoy this wonderful scent.  Don't you just love the container the candle is in too!  I will definitely be keeping that when the candle is finished.


And last but sooo not least this adorable tin sign!  I just love it!  It even has a cute metal hanger attached.

Thank you so much Jennifer!  I am so inspired to have one of these giveaways of my own soon, and I know just the occasion coming up to have one!  I love your beautiful note card too!  Please be sure and check back later to see how I am using some of this! 


 Of course you won't have to wait on the candle.  It looks right at home right next to my rooster who got a dash of fall leaves and a sweet little pumpkin.  I bought these pumpkins from Ross last year, three in a box.  I saw they are back this year too and are only $3.99 for the box of three.  So if you like them, get on over to Ross!

My candle with the rooster topper moved next to the vinegar decanter.  I added the red candle ring I already had and some fall leaves to the ivy!  Easy fall spruce up!




I added more fall leaves to this Ivy also.  Do you recognize the canape holder.  It was the one I got from Goodwill for .50cents.  I spray painted it with ORB and added these little square bowls I found from Ross. 



I still have not found any 5" square plates I prefer yet but these bowls certainly did fit the bill.  They were only $1.99 each too! 


My dining room buffet table got a little fall decor too.


Just enough to let you know it's that time of year.


And this little vignette has me pretty pleased!  I already had the pumpkin with the blessing on it and put it on that gold candlestick I got this year at a thrift store.  How do you like the bow?  The cute little pumpkins in front of my tin plate are from the dollar tree.


The coffee table got more ribbon and a few more items also.




The cornucopia is an old one I had as well as the leaves, but it looks great next to this new pumpkin I got from Hobby Lobby.




These adorable little pumpkins came from Hobby Lobby too!  I got them on sale at 50% off of 2.50 each.  Not a bad deal huh?  I just love the cut work on these!  Gorgeous!



I have to also show you my arrangement outside!   It's been done awhile and I thought I was going to get the porch cleaned up to show you, now I'm not sure when that's going to happen!   So, I thought I'd at least show you the table by the front door!

There's Mr. Sassy looking very handsome next to my arrangement.



As if all of that wasn't enough, I just have to show you my latest deals.  I made my Walmart run this morning and look what I found all on clearance.  Our Walmart is already marking down the fall items.  I guess it's time to make room for Halloween.  Anyway, so many lovelies!  But I really needed these!


I don't know about you but we go through kitchen towels like crazy!


I don't usually have to replace the oven mitts to often but the ones we had, have been burning our hands right through the mitt.  The dark burgundy smaller mitt and holder were only $1.50 for the set and the larger mitt was only $2.50.


The heavier towel in the background was only $2.50 and the two rooster towels only .75 cents each!


And this beautiful linen looking towel was only $1.50.

Did you notice that they had the Better Homes and Garden label?  I sure did!  I am just so in love with all the Better Homes and Garden stuff that is coming out in Walmart!  It is fantastic!  I even saw some plates I fell in love with that were Better Homes and Garden.   No surprise there huh?  No worry, I didn't get them.  LOL!

Well its looking very fallish around here now! 
It's still pretty hot though in the afternoons, but the leaves are falling and it's definitely in the air!

Thanks for stopping by...have a great Tuesday!
Mary

  3. Congrats on your win! That is awesome and all of it is so YOU! Love all your fall touches. I am getting closer to it. It is still in the low 90's! I have a hard time coming in from the pool to a bunch of pumpkins! I'll get over it though quickly as fall is my favorite and we won't really see fall here until later in October! Love your big hurricane on the coffee table!

  8. Ooooooo...I am definitely going to Wal-Mart and picking up that last towel! I was just there a few days ago but didn't make it down that aisle! And I have to return something to Ross too so I'm going to check and see if those pumpkins made it all the way to the NW. I'm the queen of copying you know?! :-) You can just call me "mini-Mary"!
