The Challenge!"Three Projects in Three Weeks"
Hello my friends! I'm so happy that you came by today!
*
I have accepted a challenge! A challenge for what?...you say!
*
Barb over at Treasures from the Heart has issued a challenge called "Three Projects in Three Weeks"....and I have decided to join in!
*
Basically the challenge consists of...completing three projects within three weeks! I always have so many ideas and projects that I'm wanting to do...but I must admit...I'm such a procrastinator! Oh yes...me...a big ol' procrastinator! Hehe! So I thought that by accepting this challenge...and actually having to be accountable...that it might just help me complete a few projects that I've been wanting to do!
*
Okay...stay with me and I'll show you the three projects that I have committed to completing!
**
Autumn Decorating
*
This is what I've been doing this week...getting out all of my autumn decor! Ohhhh boy...do I have a mess! I have stuff everywhere! Hehe! This is my dining room table...really it is...the table is under there somewhere! Hehe!
*
There are silk florals...vases...candleholders...pumpkins...and more pumpkins! Hehe!
*
Hmmm...the pretty red wall/door pocket that I bought on sale awhile back...maybe I can do something for autumn with it. Oh look...there are olive green leaf placemats....and strands of autumn berries...lots of candles....well, I think you get the picture! Hehe!
*
I found these pretty red sunflowers on sale a few weeks ago...they're the right color! What colors do you think of when you think of autumn?
*
Just playing with the camera! Love these close-up shots!!!
*
A few days ago, honey was going through some of his families "old stuff" and found these pretty candleholders just thrown in a box with a bunch of junk! They were so dirty I could hardly make out the color. After a little TLC...look what appeared! Roseville pottery...this pattern is called "Clematis" in autumn brown. Wow...what a treasure...they are highly collectible! I now have a pair of these pretty candleholders and they're the perfect color for autumn decor!!!
*
Ohhh my...I have bunches and bunches of autumn leaves!
*
How about a few ceramic pumpkins? I have orange, white, orangy-red, brown and gold! Hehe! I love these berry garlands...look at those deep, rich autumn colors!
*
Well...what do ya'll think? Do you think I can whip out a few autumn projects with some of this stuff?
*

And last but not least...Project #3...an Autumn tablescape!

Okay...no procrastination...next week it is!!! Hehe!!!

So there you have it, my friends! A little (or alot) of autumn decor. I have a big ol' mess right now but hopefully the "Three Projects in Three Weeks Challenge" will help me to get some of these projects completed and my home decorated for the autumn season!!!

Good Morning Chari,
OOOH, lots of pretty autumn decor and those fabulous dishes! The 3 projects in 3 weeks is a great idea! I will have to check it out. Love those candleholders you found, so vintage! Hugs, Cindy
Chari, I can't wait to see all of your decorations. Thanks so much for mentioning the "Cloche Party". I really appreciate it. I will have Mr. Linky up this evening. I really am looking forward to it. Hugs, Marty
GM My Dear friend...Now girl you know you will get it all done...Your so great at that...now I'm the slacker in bloggland and everyone knows that ha ha!!
Hope you are having a great week...Oh I'm loving those Roseville candle holders how special are those that are also family pieces...you know how I feel about family things they are the best...
Can't wait to see what you are making for the cloche's party tonight...Me too..Well really I had Candace do it while I cooked dinner for the bunch ha ha!! Oh girl I ate so much while they were here and all I did was laugh...Len asked me it I even got a chance to talk ha ha!!

Looks like great projects you are tackling. When I think autumn colors, I think ... pink and lilac.
NOT. Hahahaha... sorry, couldn't resist. Love your Fall colors in this post - gorgeous.

Good morning Chari, I'm a bit slow getting around again this week. 12 hours away from home working a few here and then major computer problems.. hubby has has one of those weeks and life in general. I'm not quite sure how I would handle life if it ran smoothly. Or even just a bit more smooth. Your autumn decor is going to be beautiful all put together as with everything else you do. I hope this finds you doing well my friend. I'm going out in front of the shop now to enjoy a bit of hot coffee and a break.. yes, you read that right I'm going to take 5...love ya girl... hugs ~lynne~
Chari, great projects. I'll look forward to seeing it all done. Love the bird dishes, of course. Thanks for your visits and your sweet comments. ~ Sarah
Have fun with all those autumn treasures can't wait to see what you create with all that Blessings Heather ;D
I am sure will complete your projects. One thing for sure I would not. You have your work cut out. Good luck.
Wow what a lot of work you have going here. Isn't it fun to decorate for Fall? I love it.
OK Chari, this just isn't fair! Even your mess is much prettier than my mess! It almost looks like decoration compared to the mess I made when I got out my Fall decor! What a find those candlesticks are, and they ARE hot collectibles, but how priceless that they are a family treasure. I've already seen the beautiful topiary cloche completed, so now I'm looking forward to the wreath and the tablescape with what has become my favorite china ever! laurie
Chari,
This is a great post!!
Love that you specified what you were going to get done. (of course it was easy for me, as i was challenged about my frames.) =0)
Thanks so much for joining in, and for sharing on your blog.
Love your project for the cloche party.
blessings
