The Softer Side of Fall

I made these pale blue pumpkins last year from a baby blanket.  The material is very soft and almost has a velvet feet to it.   I decided to bling them up a little this year, so I added a lace bow and .....

a sparkly spider pin to the larger one.

 To the smaller one, I added a small piece of crochet and a gold spider pin.

The blue pumpkins are sitting on childrens chairs that are in a display cabinet in the sun room.  

You have seen this wreath many times, it's one of my favorites.   

I made it last year from flowers that were gathered from our yard....

I am using softer colors in my fall decorating this year and I really like the look.

 Thank you so much for stopping by...til next time.
