It's chilly and crispy today, and it's got me thinking about Fall. All around Blogland everyone is talking Fall. Apparently even the Pottery Barn Catalogue is out with a bunch of fall ideas. (not that I get one).
So I decided to join the bandwagon and start getting ready for Fall.
I ran down to my scary storage room and pulled out my bin with "Fall Decor labelled on it". First thing I saw, was this guy.
So I took the whole thing apart and was left with this...
Then I took a bunch of Chrysanthemums that I also found in "Fall Decor" bin and cut them all up.
(No other plant says "fall" like chrysanthemum flowers.)
I'm not sure where these flowers came from cayse I don't remember buying them.
Then I hot glued them to the wreath and added ribbon.
I think I need more flowers. What do you think?
This cost me nothing cause I used stuff I had on hand.
Are you on the Fall Bandwagon yet?
I'm linking up to Thrifty Decor Chick's Fall Inspiration party.
And linking to some of these parties.
And yes... I'm waiting until at least Sept 15th put it up as not to upset the neighbour. :-)

Nope - I think it looks juuuuust right!
It turned out great! It screams fall!
And I was cracking up about your friend taking it off the door...totally sounds like something I would do. LOL
Yummy wreath! I love the fall colors and textures. Just beautiful!
Lovely use of fall colors! I'm so excited about the fall and in need of a fall wreath, maybe I'll give this a try!
hi bette, pretty wreath. fall is definitely in the air!
I love this and it looks easy enough for me...I hope! I need a new wreath in the worst way. I love that fall will be here soon.
Very nice. This is making me want to take out my fall decorations...but it still feels like summer here. (maybe a couple of small things wouldn't hurt!) :-)
It's beautiful! Makes me wish Fall would hurry up and get here. :) I don't think you need any more flowers--it's perfect! If you could please add a quick link back to me within your post, I would very much appreciate it. My blog is small, so I rely on those link-backs to get the word out. Thanks! :)
looks fantastic! love it! stopping over from somewhat simple.
How adorable!!!! And free is my favorite price! LOL Great work reusing old things to create something new. I vote that we start putting up Fall things on Sept. 1...anyone with me? :-)
Found you on Amanda's Party!
It looks quite nice. You were smart to use what you had on hand. I'm with you on waiting until September 15 to change to a fall look. I'm not quite ready for fall.
I love fall, but I'm not ready to pull out the decor yet.
The wreath is nice and full - looks perfect! Great job.
(found you from Amanda's party)
I found you as part of the It's a Blog party link-up from Friday on Home Decorating. I love your blog! I have always wanted to make a wreath like that...and you have inspired me...I have my list and am headed to Michaels!
And I will be following you from now on!
Very nice!
Thanks for linking up!
