More Fall Decorating!

The top of my pie safe is now decorated for Fall. Here I have the 3 pumpkins I made some years back. Prior to 1994. I say that because of where we were living at the time I made them. Also in that same house I made the two apple miniquilt wallhangings. And you can see a couple of my old time kitchen items hanging to the right. In the upper left is a strange looking container/vase I made when I took a ceramics class. It was part of the requirements for my Occupational Therapy Assistant degree. I borrowed the idea of using upside down wineglasses to add height to my display. You will see I did that in my header picture also. I got the idea from the blogger who decorated with dentures and right now her blog title escapes me. I will have to look for it and insert it here when I do so you can see what she did. Unless you have already seen that wild decorating idea. My husband made the three little pumpkin baskets that are in front of the larger cloth pumpkin. They are made out of plastic canvas. He made the ghost ones in the header picture as well. I still have a few more areas I can decorate. I will do them as my energy allows. Hey, it is not even October and I have two areas done already. I have never done that. See what all you wonderful bloggers inspire me to do! And I appreciate that too. I love seeing what others do with their fall decorating. I don't get many visitors, so you all are my visitors. Smile!


Oh, I was also going to tell you that we bought the pie safe unfinished prior to 1986. And again I know that because of which house we were living in at the time. My husband did the finishing and it has served us well. Mostly we use it to help with kitchen storage, but we have used it for other things too. It was office material type storage for awhile where we are now. But I have since switched it back to kitchen storage. My cookbooks are on the bottom shelf and I store boxed items like cake mixes, muffin mixes, pudding and jello boxes, stuffing and that kind of thing there. I am so glad I have it. It is one of the things I have that I really love.

Update: Here is the blog I got the wine glass idea from as mentioned above. Dana at the Stone Rabbit is a fun blog to read, Check her out. Her post about decorating with dentures is funny.
