Howdy Ya'll! I've been in the mood for all things AUTUMN this week. Browsing through your creative photos on Pinterest, facebook and blogland has really inspired me. I wanted to do some sort of festive fall "welcome" display in the entry of my house. I had the opportunity to go shopping this week all by myself (no kiddos). I went just about everywhere! I visited Hobby Lobby, Marshall's, TJ Maxx, Walmart, Target, Dollar Stores, Home Goods even the thrift shops. But, just like when you want something to eat and nothing sounds good, nothing called my name to be bought. After all that wasted gas. :?
I kept returning to the thought that I owned everything I needed to make a great display. And what I didn't have, mother nature could provide. So I shopped my house! We've all done it right? You root around in the closets, garage and attic to rediscover your castaway items. They suddenly become treasures again!
So every single thing you see here came from the "Farmhouse Porch Market" and yard.
Before adding the "fluff"...
I think I may be getting better at this "arrangement" business. Here's what I did last year FARMHOUSE FALL TABLESCAPE. Looking back at old projects is like looking at a dated hairstyle. I always pick it to pieces...do you ever feel that way too?
You yankees send me some of that crisp, cool air down here in Texas okay?

Very pretty.. I am really luving the natural approach. Making me rethink some of my decor.. Hmmm... Virginia creeper = vine wreath.. or garland. Nandina berries = colour.
Thanks for sharing your luvly decor.
Cheers, Gee
Thank you Gee!
That's the best kind of shopping! Your "mantel" table looks so welcoming with all the treasures you already had. I'll send you some cool air next week. We've got a 70 degree weekend forecast. Yipee!!
Thanks Vickie, yes...send that cold air on down!!
:D
I'm loving every bit of it!!! the color of your table is so yummy!!
I'm loving every bit of it!!! I love the cream/white...so relaxing! Maybe I should come "shopping" at your house (j/k)

Very lovely! All of it is beautiful and inviting :)
Such a great fall vignette! I love your attitude... shop the house! You could not have picked anything more chic and better for fall! Incorporating white pitchers in your fall design was brilliant!
Looking at your displays, I'd say you couldn't have done any better at any of those stores. You have the best shop in your house.
Linsey, Your entry looks lovely. I really like the contrast of all you pretty whites with the wooden crates. Perfect!

So pretty--love the warm whites you choose.
That is a winning trio-natural, neutral and free- and just the way I like it. Very pretty! Love the raffia in the pitchers and the basket full of pillows too.
That is the best kind of shopping!!! And it was free :-)! Your fall vignette looks beautiful!

And it is all just perfect and says fall. Sorry you wasted gas. You already had everything you needed.
Looks fabulous. That's what I've done this year. I DO NOT need to bring anything else into my home! Love the wheat, and those pitchers are divine!
Oh..it all looks so charming...love all your ironstone pitchers with those tiny white pumpkins.
Blessings,
Linda
It looks very welcoming. I had to go check out your table last year and I like that one too. I go back and forth between whether I like neutrals or more traditional fall colors. That's probably why I haven't put out much fall decor yet. I can't decide!
I love shopping at home, too! Great prices. :) Friendly staff. :) And if I liked it once, I usually still like it.
Your display is charming, Linsey!

Everything is so warm and welcoming. I love all the pitchers and the use of the straw stalks. Just a great wreath. Beautiful

I'm with you Linsey and this year have only shopped my own home. I love your arrangements and palette...I'm not a huge fan of orange so am loving all the white pumpkins.
Sending some cool weather down from the Adirondacks!
Laura :)
Oh I love the way your shop. Your Autumn vignettes are wonderful.

Love all your white pitchers! I like neutral best for fall. Looks wonderful!
Don't see how you could have found anything better than what you already had. Love the row of ironstone pitchers and the wheat. Great job!
So funny that you shopped the stores and found nothing and shopped your home and found beautiful stuff.
I love this !I just redid our home office and 'decorated' with all stuff from other rooms of our house. Great post, new fan here. I hope you'l come share at my Blog Fest: http://fresh-eggs-daily.blogspot.com/2012/10/farm-girl-blog-fest-3.html
Wonderful look ... so nice to shop your home and find such beautiful treasures. I see some ironstone that matches mine. Everything looks great.
Blessings,
