Now I know that compared to the George and Amal photo's these just reek of glamour, A-list friends, and loads of wealth. Those two will just have to grin and bear it!
Fall is decorating time in Sewtopia. I had a few minutes the other day to snap some photo's. Let's take a look, OK? Mr. Sewtopia is Mr. Halloween. Thus the black wreath in the dining room. The dry sink shelf is trimmed with pumpkins, dried gourds and faux apples. The Coffee Grinder was hand made by my departed Father in Law. He loved wood working and would spend hours and hours making little projects for anyone who asked.
Obviously still the dining room. The table runner is from Red Lion, Pa., The Family Heirloom Weavers. The candlesticks are black wrought iron and the candles (with the Halloween faces) are battery operated. The dried berries have been around for years and years and used in many other places.
The living room chest has an orange bittersweet wreath around the lamp base, the Crow on Pumpkin came from a little gift shop in Ligoneir, Pa. a couple years ago. My favorite is the pumpkin faced bubble light!
The living room entertainment center is topped with a large (heavy) white pumpkin. The white multi-berry wreath is another piece that ends up different places every year. The little lamp is a Vintage Smith Glass candle lamp, the amber glass cat is Meyda Tiffany, the candle wax lamp on the left is from a local gift shop as well as the Boyd's bear piece on the left. The unit is topped with another Family Heirloom Weavers runner.
The front hall Chippendale Reproduction mirror and shelf hold a paper mache pumpkin and a Ghost Mama and Baby in wool roving from the Ram's Horn, a local artist.
This wreath has had a few homes over the last few years. Made by a friend who used to own a gift and antique shop, I think it greets entering guests and family with a bright nod to Fall. And no, I did not put a hole in the coat closet door, I used one of those plastic hooks that can be removed after the decorating season. Love them!
Walking down the hall the eat in area of the kitchen has it's own little Fall bling. This odd pumpkin is about 10 inches in diameter and those chips of bark are glued to a styrofoam pumpkin. Cute. I placed it in the large pottery bowl that usually holds fruit.
Hope you enjoyed the tour. There is more of course, perhaps another time. Have a lovely day, take a moment to enjoy the beautiful show that Mother Nature provides at this time of year.
