Natural Fall Centerpiece

I know most of y'all may be getting tired of seeing fall this and fall that, but the first day of fall was official just a few days ago and I am just starting to add my fall decor while y'all are probably moving on to Christmas.( wink ) When I add the look of fall I like to add natural items that represent the season as much as possible. I used real pumpkins, dried hydrangeas from my bush, dried pods that I saved from last year, acorns, boo pumpkins, dried gourds and a few preserved leaves.

I love this blush colored pumpkin mixed with the blues and greens of the dried hydrangeas.

Squirrels, the little varmints that chew on our house, say fall to me, too since I see them scurrying around burying nuts for the winter season.

The grape vine is not real, but I love this piece I found at a home decor shop last year. It is bendable and can add texture in so many places. I just draped it across the top. I need to go back to the store and see if she has anymore.

I'm not hosting Thanksgiving this year, but if I did all I would have to do is set the table and be done.

All of these items are piled in the large wood slatted bottom tray my daughter gave me last year.

I will share more pictures from my trip soon.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for the start of "Fall Around the House" with a dozen bloggers.

See you there!
