Simple, yet dramatic!
Have fun decorating and share your ideas with me! Do be careful with your candles and fillers, some things are obviously flammable, so decorate with fire safety in mind.
Until next time!

If you are looking for simple Autumn décor, look no further! Lets see what we can do with a simple wooden box. Flip the box upside-down and put brass candlesticks, drippy candles (my favorite) and pumpkins on it. Simple, yet dramatic! Fill it with Spanish moss and add jar candles. ...........add some pumpkins. Take away the candles and fill with the season's bounty. Here's the box with pillar candles in glass cylinder vases wrapped in twine, then nested among fat pine cones. The same jars and candles set in birdseed. Line the box with burlap, fill with cut mums and add tall pillar candles. You can change out the color of mums and candles for a completely different look. Or, for a VERY minimalist look, pare it down to just white pillar and votive candles. .....and last but not least, don't forget last week's idea. So, there you have a few ideas for your Fall décor. If you don't have a wooden box you could use a metal baking pan, or a wooden bowl. Anything really! You can't mess it up. Well, Clyde messed it up. Forever in the way, loudly voicing his opinion and laying on my things.

Each idea is splendid, but I think my favorite is the one with that little bit of burlap coming out. Or maybe the spanish moss. Or maybe....never mind, they're all great.
