STYLING AN AUTUMN BASKET and HEARTH AND HAND FALL AMBER GLASS

With the Fall season fast approaching,

I know many of us share the desire

to begin decorating!

The neutral colors, warm tones 

and beautiful textures, make Fall my

favorite season to decorate our home!

Whether you begin your transition in August

or mid-September, it's never too early

for a bit of inspiration!

This year rather than a wreath for our front door,

I wanted to create a rustic looking basket

using the colors of cream, goldenrod and a touch of

olive and rust!

I found just what I was looking for....online of course!

I thought these were rather fun looking....and I love the color!

It's a bit tricky to select floral picks online, rather than

seeing them in the store and actually touching them

or examining the stem closely, but I was very pleased

with the ones I selected!

This particular pick was the most expensive but 

I love the amount of elements in this one stem

 and the colors were spot on....

I ended up using this pearlized pumpkin stem in another arrangement 

but love this one too!

I ordered two of this pick to use on either side of the arrangement.

I love the look....it's minimal, muted in colors and is just the look I wanted

 to welcome family home for Thanksgiving....

for now, I'm hanging it inside the front door....just to enjoy

looking at it for the next few months!

We did drop into Target last weekend as I needed birthday wrappings and cards, but I also

was intent on looking at the new Fall line from Magnolia Hearth and Hand....

I chose these two beautiful Amber glass candleholders....I adore Amber glass....

I also fell in love with this Amber glass bottle with the wheat colored floral.....

 I went through my candle stash so I could see what I had

on hand, before purchasing any more candles and voila....

found this gorgeous hobnail Amber glass pumpkin candle

from Harry Slatkin....it's going to be a beautiful season.....
