Hello, I hope everyone is having a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Today, I spent most of my day in the garage working on some wreaths and a hanging door basket for fall.
This hanging door basket below was part of an allotment purchase at an estate auction a few weeks ago and let’s just say it did not look like this when I brought it home. Sad to say, I did not take a before picture because I wasn’t sure I could salvage it. But with a little paint and dark stain, I think it turned out nice.
I kept the floral simple in this for fall.
On the front of the basket, I Mod Podged a graphic I found from The Graphic Fairy.
The fall wreath below was made using an oval grapevine wreath.
I attached fall leaves, pumpkins, cream and brownish orange hydrangeas, a chalkboard and burlap bows.
And this one, I used a twig wreath.
I attached greens, fall leaves, pumpkins, gourds, berries, pinecones and burlap bows.
Now I’m off to my sewing room to work on some fabric pumpkins. I have them all cut out ready to be sewn together.
As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all enjoy the rest of this long holiday weekend.

Hi Gail, how lovely they all are, I'll have to remember the burlap when I get my wreaths out to update them. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty. I guess it's time to decorate for Fall. I love Fall, it's so beautiful and the weather is usually mild.
ReplyDeleteGail, great looking basket and wreaths. I haven't put min together yet.

ReplyDeleteSuch great idea with the basket, I love it! But wreaths are also beautiful, your doors are so lovely decorated now:))
ReplyDeleteFantastic Gail. I am gearing up for Fall too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Gail! Love the basket and the simple florals you added in. Your wreaths are lovely ~ I think that oval one is my favorite. Since it is raining here today, I may hit the attic and get my Fall stuff down. I'm hoping it won't be too hot to do that.
