Show and Tell: Fall Nesting Pictures

I have looked at lots of Fall decorations on blogs and guess I felt like the Grinch that Stole Fall for not jumping in and decorating for fall when everyone else in blogland was doing it.

So, finally I decided I might as well give it a try. I started with something really simple...candy corn in a pretty container. This is a new one I bought from a Southern Living at Home Party.

Everyone has raved so much about those little glass pumpkins from Dollar Tree. I finally made it by there and found the orange and brown ones. Here they are displayed on an estate sale balance scale. I talked to the sales clerk and asked about the white ones, and he told me that these pumpkins had been restocked several times. So, apparently everyone loves them. I think they look more expensive that a dollar!
Dollar tree also had these little packages of pumpkins, squash and gourds. They come 6 to a pack and are in all the fall colors. I bought a few packs of these.
The picture below is what I made. I first saw this idea on Kimba's blog, A Soft Place to Land, and thought it was so cute. I used my Southern Living Jamestown tray and Yankee candle votives (I already had these) on top of clear glass stem ware turned upside down. I put one of the little pumpkins under each glass and scattered Dollar Tree leaves on top of the sideboard. It turned out pretty cute and looks good when the candles are lit and reflect in the mirror on the sideboard.
This next picture is my Southern Living farm basket I've had for eons. I used the little pumpkins, gourds, and squash in it with a glass turned upside down in the middle and a votive on top of that. I had to take this pic without the flash...the berries which are orange looked red with the flash on so it's not as clear as it should be.
And finally, here is a picture from my front porch. I bought the sign at the Hope Village Thrift store. The basket and clay pot both came from garage sales. The mums are from Walmart.

Now, I guess my Grinchy heart has grown and I'm finally in the fall spirit. I may even add more stuff. Who knows!
