Small fall changes

I said I would probably end up changing some stuff in my fall decor...and I did. I was in Walmart today and saw some really nice flower bushels for $5.00. I love fresh flowers so I picked some up and decided to use them with my new glass jar from the flea market. I like this arrangement much better for the dinning room table....what do you think? Which one looks better?

I used a scrap piece of muslin fabric I had to place it all on.

I LOVE sunflowers...my favorite!  Not bad for $5.00

My dinning room from the back door. It's an open kitchen dinning area.
 

I made this little arrangement with the old apple picking crate I got. I think this will find it's way outside soon.


 This is a small arrangement I made on the kitchen counter. I filled my ironstone tureen with some pine cones and acorns. I put out my sunflower plate and a ceramic pumpkin.

We'll see if I change anything else later on...I'll let ya know if I do!

    Hi Rachel,
    I like the changes! The Sunflowers are a wonderful pop of yellow. Your apple crate is such a fun universal piece. You asked about my spiders on my pumpkins. It is a meshy garland I bought 4 or 5 years ago at Interior Elements. All of the Utah stores have gone out of business. Have a nice day tomorrow.

    I love sunflowers! I just planted a bunch in my raised garden. I like the blue vase on the table.
    You have a beautiful home Rachel!
    Enjoy your day~Sue

    Hi Rachel,
    We didn't add the knobs. After we moved in maintenance came through adding them to everyone's kitchens. Our homes are or were brand new 4 years ago. The only room we have painted is my daughter's room.
    I'm too scared to paint now, I just know if I do it we'll get orders. LOL

    Have a good night!

    I love your vignettes. The apple crate is my favorite, I love the old things like that.
    Love the fresh flowers on your table, too!

    Those flowers are so pretty and you did a great job arranging them. I love sunflowers, my Dad was in the army for 20 years, we travelled the world, I have 4 kids, I love the fall, I love red...do you know anyone who has these things in common? lol I came through your comment and read your profile and the only difference is I DO like to wear red lol. So glad you found me so that I could find you! Thank you for leaving such a sweet comment on my bench swing. I am following you now too.

    Sue thank you for your sweet comment :) Is this the time of year to plant sunflowers? I have always wanted to but am afraid they would die.

    @ Ricardo,gracias por tu comentario amable.

    @ Michele, That's nice that they added them. I wish I could add some. I know what you mean, the longer we live here the more hesitant I feel about painting anything else. That's nice that your homes are pretty new and they are made of brick. Ours are new but they are siding. I really like brick!
