Falls on the Porch

What a beautiful weekend it was to be outside and I took advantage of it with some fall decorating on the front porch.  

001

This year instead of using my pumpkin topiaries, I decided to change things up and  use cornstalks and mums.   I purchased my cornstalks and mums at a local farmers produce stand.   There mums were absolutely gorgeous and not to mention huge for only $7 a piece.

I added a fall floral cone with window screening to each cornstalk.

I love how it adds that fall touch to the cornstalks.    If you would like I could do a tutorial on how I made the floral cone.  Just let me know if you’re interested.

I think my fall decorating is complete.  It is just in time with Halloween and Thanksgiving just around the corner.

  3. Your porch looks fantastic. I love the mums...they are huge! Great idea to add some height with the cornstalks. I haven't done a thing with my porch for fall. I guess I had better get moving!
