{Heirloom Pumpkins}

I just love the unique variety of cross bread pumpkins that are available in the Fall.
They are so simple yet festive of the season.
 
 
Penny Waters Studio in downtown LeClaire has them available for sale.
She actually gets them through a local grower at a farm near our town.
If you are near LeClaire stop in to pick some up!
 
So many uniquely different styles.
I think my favorite are the stackable ones.

Burlap Pennant & Chicken Wire Frame

Another Witches Walk project to share with you today.
You can read more about Witches Walk here.

I had so much fun taking all my blogland inspiration and creating
thrifty decor for our event last weekend.

Here are my
{Burlap Pennants}


I made the burlap pennants for the {Train Rides} entrance.
They were super easy and inexpensive.


At home I simply drew a template to use and cut all of my burlap pennants.
It didn't matter to me at all if they were a little imperfect and rustic.
I printed the {Train Rides} out on the computer.
Then I used a little round pencil cup (you could use anything round) to trace around the letter.
I cut out my letters and then made a little larger round circle with the book page paper.
I hot glued each piece and  layered them on the burlap.
I wanted to make sure they would be sturdy as they were going to be outdoors for the event.
They held up great all day.


Another quick tip I did was instead of taking the time to sew a hem to feed my string through,
I simply feed the string right through the burlap.
It worked great when we set up at the event I had my pennants ready to hang
and could quickly adjust the pennants on the string to make sure they were evenly spaced.

{Chicken Wire Frames}


Another fun idea was the chicken wire frames.
You just frame out a large chicken wire piece on both sides and
 create the perfect country chic frame or fence piece.

Fall Outdoors

I had to share a little Fall outdoors with ya.



As you all know, our home is on the market so,
unfortunately I didn't do anything to our home outdoors this year.

Never fear...I didn't let that stop me!
You didn't think I could just leave out my favorite part of Fall decorating did you???



I've told you all about my quaint small town.
Well Fall is my favorite time of year in LeClaire.
The stores decorate the store fronts with scarecrows!
How cute!
This is at Dwellings, my brothers store.


These are some of the vintage grain sack pillows I make from time to time.
Which I think are the perfect Fall touch to any decor!


Happy Fall Y'all!!!
