Fall Vignettes


Fall Vignettes


Autumn is a season of beautiful colours and textures.  Putting together a few vignettes, both inside and outside, is never easier.

I use whatever natural material I can find which includes the following:
Leaves of any colour 
Pumpkins,  squash, and gourds
Sticks, branches, and plants  
Bittersweet is a particular favourite and we have started growing it.
Tree bark including birch bark if I can find it on the ground. 
For fillers: Pine cones, Spruce cones, Acorns and Chestnuts.  We have black walnut trees and harvest the walnuts for fillers.
We use feathers and deer sheds for a bit of pizazz, and interesting rocks and stones. 

It is okay to mix faux and natural elements.



Fall Vignettes



A few pumpkins, both faux and real, placed on a tray with some fall berries and leaves is all it takes.

The faux pumpkins have been painted and dried pumpkin stems have been added.  The stems give the pumpkins a more realistic look.

For a front entryway fill a dough bowl with squash and pumpkins.  Add some bittersweet in a vase or jug alongside a couple of lanterns

A few Fall-themed pillows and a warm throw or two makes a house feel cosy.

Pile squash and pumpkins next to a rocker.

Add some cut branches to an existing plant.

The wool throw is from Scotland and it is in the Maple Leaf Tartan.
The orange and white pumpkin in the foreground is called 'One too Many'.

Sometimes a vignette is totally un-contrived.  The squash, gourds, and pumpkins are straight from the garden, mud and all, and simply piled up.

A pot of geraniums was right next to the pumpkins and provided some nice contrast.



Fall Vignettes


Use a tray to corral a stack of plates, autumn-themed jug, placemats, napkins, and an old crockery jug.
The painting in the background is a fall scene.

a plant, faux pumpkins, a berry pick, and pheasant feathers.

I will supply a list of resources at the end of the post.  
The pheasant feathers arrived a little dishevelled.  By the look of them, it appears that there may have been a bit of a curfuffle when the time came for the little fellow to give up his feathers.

Don't forget the mantel.  
Here we used a collection of blue and white pottery dressed for fall with some branches and cloth pumpkins.
That's me taking the picture.

I had nothing to do with this last picture.  It was just there and I captured it.
