Fall Green

To make the transition to fall, I decided to do it a little differently.

In the last couple of years, I have fallen in love with the dull green of Bordallo pottery , and as I looked around the house this afternoon, I found that color other places as well.

Bordallo pottery is a workhorse.

It is also very affordable at Ross, Marshall’s, and TJ Maxx (my second, third, and fourth home away from home). 

Although I have used it in spring, summer, and at Christmas, I hadn’t used it during the fall.

This year I am.

As I looked around, I saw some old favorites, and a few new ‘old’ favorites I could rearrange.

This cranberry/rust color in the artichokes and the runner look wonderful with the dull green.

I found this runner at the flea market, and I like the hint of animal print.

True confession?

Occasionally in my zeal to get something created, I do a little jamming.

I thought my fall florals would look good in contrast with my spring arrangement, so I started jamming one into the other.

I have mentioned slinging before.

Jamming is the same concept.

It works out better that way for me.

Ok…

True confession part II.

I MAKE it work that way for me because that is how I work.

 

These old favorites make me smile.

They aren’t intrusive.

Things don’t look like a theme park.

I can breathe when they catch my eye.

After all it is still very, very hot here.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

This week flew by.

It is fall.
