COTTAGE FALL DECORATING

~A WORK IN PROGRESS~

Well we will start with the table. I think this is finished (except for the food of course:)

Glasses are from J.C. Penny

(we looked every where for amber colored glasses)

Dishes, Linens and centerpiece from Walmart

( Yes..I will be ironing the linens)

Pumpkin and Acorn salt and pepper shakers

(clearance at Walgreens)

I wanted to serve pumpkin or butternut squash soup in the leaf bowls.

My daughter has suggested a chicken wild rice soup ,which would still be fall like, and everyone would enjoy

We won't be having more than 6 for dinner so the table will remain small. This centerpiece has tealights and I may put a small flower or leaf arrangement inside which will then mean I don't need extra flowers in a vase. Everything all in one..I like that!

The buffet still needs a runner but I haven't found one I like yet. I may put some of the pies or desserts on here so I don't want it too cluttered.

The wire tealights are also from Walmart

Mirror is from Bombay Company

Buffet from Callans Furniture Store (Saint Cloud, MN)
Lamps from a local gift store(on sale of course)

This wine cabinet may be moved into the living room and will hold an appetizer and small plates

Pumpkins from Walgreens clearance last fall

Cake stand from Target

Lamp from clearance at Walmart

After taking this picture I added some caramel corn to the empty dish but I knew it wouldn't last long there so I wasn't sure if I should take another picture:)

other pieces from Chicago gift stores when I was visiting my sister

Coasters from Norsk Nook, Osseo Wisconsin

~The Children's Corner~

Mr. Moose from my sister after a visit in Washington State.

Stool from Craft's Direct

Pumpkin from Walgreens clearance

Trunks from Alco

Rocking chair from Grandpa Burnson...PRICELESS

I found this little birdie at The Grande Depot, a gift and wine store.

We went the other day because the weather was bad and the trip to the Carlos Creek Winery in Alexandria ,MN was canceled at our request.
The grandkids will be happy for their little treats that grandma has left for them.

I am not happy with this and am thinking of moving it back behind the loveseat where it was orginally. I think I will look a little more for items to compliment this piece of furniture. It feels a little cluttered so close to the fireplace and hubby's chair.

The lamp has a night light in the bottom. Hubby chose this piece. We think it will compliment the lamps that are still to be purchased for the rest of the living room.
