Adding a little fall~

We are finally enjoying cooler temps here in the South, and with that I have slowly been changing out our summer decor with items more suited to this time of the year.  I am really trying to use things we already have this year, rather than buying new.  I figure the Christmas decor will come out soon enough!

The first  thing I changed out was the flower bucket on our front door.
Next, I traded out the seashells for some pinecones in the large bowl  that sits on  the table in our library.
I then swapped the seashells in a hurricane in the library for a grape vine wreath I loosened and placed in the bottom along with some green Spanish moss and acorns.

Once again the seashells were stored away along with the jute roping and sand, and replaced with miniature pinecones my daughter collected years ago on a trip to North Carolina.

The bird's nest with little blue eggs on my cake plate with a cloche now holds a little white pumpkin.  I love these!
The iron crow I purchased at Pottery Barn came out as well...
And lastly, as least for today, my newest love~my Willow House lantern (set of two, this is the larger), got
some of the grapevine wreath as a base for a yummy smelling vanilla candle and was placed in the center of our dining room table.
Little by little we are starting to see fall around here in the South.  A welcome reprieve after several long months of 95+ degree temperatures.
