A Touch of Autumn. . .

Although Autumn is my favorite Season of the Year,
I just add a touch of Autumn into my personal styling.

This year, On Crooked Creek,
I kept the accessories to a minimum and used a muted autumnal color palette.

These muted caramel hued pumpkins

(purchased a Dollar Tree) were just the right touch of Autumn
when placed atop my Nell Hill wooden pillar candle holders.

The muted autumnal hued bird figurines
were purchased locally, from Memories of Home.

The one autumnal sprig,
was recently purchased during a weekend stay with my best friend forever.

A perfect stay and a perfect day shopping in Louisburg, Kansas.

The linen table runner
(folded in half) was purchased eons ago at my all time favorite, T. J. Maxx!

The white leaf plate holds prayer stones
gifted to "Mr. Ed" from our neighbor during his recovery from his stroke.
The stones read, "Courage, Hope and Pray".

I often use vintage books in contrasting (or matching) hues
to elevate decorative items within my vignettes for added interest.

Continuing with the same muted autumnal hues,
I placed one of my floral arrangements atop the four drawer dresser
and flanked it with "Mr. Ed's" squirrel and a gathering of wooden acorns.

This particular squirrel ranks favorite for the two of us!
It has to be his charming expression!

I love the soft coral hue of these cala lilies!
Bits of twiggy bittersweet, miniature dried persimmons,
coral hued roses and rust hydrangea fill this urn planter
with a touch of Autumn in On Crooked Creek's Living Room.

I was thrilled to find these muted autumnal hued sprigs
while shopping recently with my Sister @ The Iron Star in Fort Scott, Kansas.

The colors compliment the gold and glass vintage oil lamps
atop the Entertainment Center and accent those over sized acorns perfectly.

I angled the sprigs among a rusty hued pip berry garland
for draping, texture and visual interest.

These hues within the faux flora 

blend harmoniously with the vintage green heirloom oil lamps.

My storage container yields fewer and fewer autumnal leaves each year,
but I think this small piece adds a perfect touch of Autumn to this vignette.

Twisting two smaller pip berry garlands together
allowed me to add a touch of Autumn to On Crooked Creek's Dining Room Hutch.

One of the main reasons this Season of the Year is my favorite, 
is summed up in the words of the sign above our Laundry Closet Doors.

It is a time when "Mr. Ed" and I pause,
really take some time apart, and give thanks for all the our Lord doth provide.



Until next time. . .
