A tour from "dear mom"!

 ..Happy Saturday Everyone!

Hope this Saturday is finding you feeling energized and well!

(Now that I have a 16 year old, I am never energized or well...I am hoping that subsides soon!)
Most parents say it really doesn't...

Speaking of Parents...

The other day I stopped over at "dear mom's" house

she had just finished decorating her mantel for Fall..

~The light bulb went off and I thought...

this has to be shared with you guys because my mom has a very unique and fun style!

It's cool how everyone has their own taste...
That's what makes decorating so fun!

With "dear mom's" permission...

I snuck some shots!

...Come Along on the "dear mom" Tour!

The wall hanging is from Firelight Galleries in Virginia, MN.

The Autumn garland, my mom purchased at an estate sale..

she did say Ben Franklin carries something similar.

It also looks like she added some small pumpkins to put the finishing touches on.

I hope you enjoy the "mantel tour"....I hope my mom inspired you!
If you see her..Don't Tell Her..
(ha, ha, ha)

In all reality, I hope you have a Great Saturday!!

Decorating for Fall on a Dime!

HaPpY TuEsDaY everyone!

Hope Everyone is doing well!

 

Are you guys "Falling" in LOVE with Fall yet?

 Do you get excited to "break out" the Fall decor?

 or 

Does the thought of decorating make you want to stick your head in a pumpkin?

Well, Don't feel troubled!

I have some fun, easy, and affordable ways to decorate outside for Fall!

#1. Use what you already have & just add to it.

Do you have a old wicker chair or rocking chair you had out for summer?

Use that piece & just change add to it!

I just "flip" the pillows!

  

2. Change the Pillows or Cushions

You may be thinking, you don't want to invest in expensive pillows or cushions.

Here's my little secret:

I buy pillows that I can turn over and use again...

The cream pillow, on the other side, is a flag that I use on the 4th of July!

 Just a easy way to get a few seasons out of one!

*The other one I did purchase at Target, on sale with the 5% discount! 

 #3. Find a sale on plants...or MUMS!

Our local Farmer's market has them on sale for 2 for $20.00

~That's a bargain!

If a  new plant is out of the budget, pick some sticks, add a few lights, and throw it together in a planter!

 

#4. Take your Indoor baskets....outdoors!

I have an addiction to baskets. 

I just grabbed one from inside and stuck a plant in it!

Use what you already have!

 

#5. Lastly, I just found a $5.00 sign and hung it over the chair for some fun!

Apples, Ciders, Pumpkins anyone?

#6. Do you have Veggies from the Garden?

Go grab those squash or pumpkins or ask a friend that gardens!

Go grab them, throw them in a fun basket, and set it out as a center piece!

 

 I hope you Enjoyed my Decorating on a Dime for Fall Post!
