"Ahhh...Autumn"

*

*
Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous day!
*
September is here and I do believe that autumn is just around the corner here in colorful Colorado!  We have been having some really hot temps...up until this past weekend...that is!  A mini "cool front" made it's way into our little corner of Colorado and the highs have dropped down into the 70's!  Yeeehawww!  I am sooo ready for cooler days!
*
Autumn is my favorite season!  I love that I can throw open the windows and doors and let the cool, crisp breeze fill my home.  I also love decorating for autumn.  I love the warm, rich colors and the textures that autumn provides.  Are you ready for the change of seasons?
*
Well dear friends, my autumn decor boxes are waiting and I'm ready to do a little autumn sprucing here at my place.  I know it's a bit early but I'm soooo slow!  What takes most of you...just a day or two to do...takes me a week or longer.  Fibromylagia slows me down terribly...I hate to admit it...but it does.  Sooo...while I am busy with my "autumn sprucing"...I thought I would revisit a post from autumn of last year.  I hope that you enjoy!

"Ahhhh...Autumn"
A Revisit from Autumn 2010

"Ahhh...Autumn" an Autumn Vignette
*
Autumn has arrived in my olive green living room.
*

This is one of my most favorite areas in our home...this large window at the end of our living room. I have a dark cherry wood sofa table placed in front of the window and I always try to accessorize it beautifully because it faces the front of our home and everyone sees it.

Autumn Acorns and Pheasant Feathers Cloche
*

An embroidered velvet table runner, spun in rich gold and olive green florals, makes a nice foundation for my autumn vignette.
*
The star of this vignette...my newly decorated autumn acorns with pheasant feathers...cloche!
*

*
A Miniature Cloche
*
This cloche is a bit on the small side. It only stands 8 in. tall...but as the old saying goes...great things come in small packages! Hehe!
*

Miniature Acorns
*

* I just love the miniature acorns that fill the cloche.  My three grandsons collected them for me a few years ago. Now some of you have already seen this little cloche done up with the minature acorns...so I was searching for something new and creative to add to it.
*
Pheasant Feathers
*
Yes...pheasant feathers! Using the pheasant feathers to embellish my little autumn cloche...came about quite by accident. I was using pheasant feathers in my autumn decor in other areas of my living room when the light bulb came on! Hehe!
*
*My honey brought these fabulous pheasant feathers home to me...aren't they gorgeous? All I did was arrange the feathers around the edge of the cloche...slighty sticking them under the glass so that they would stay put. So simple but I just love, love, LOVE how it turned out!!!
*
Pheasant feathers just "sing" autumn to me!
*

*
I added a pretty gold satin ribbon with a decorative copper key to the top of the cloche...and VOILA!!!

*
My french girl bust sitting atop an old book is situated just to the right of the cloche and two antique gold colored candleholders that are embellished with a toasty brown and cream colored damask pattern join this autumn vignette.
*

*
Autumn Florals
*

A very tall autumn floral arrangement stands front and center in this vignette. I found the beautiful antique gold and olive green urn/vase awhile back at Hobby Lobby...on sale of course! Hehe!  It stands about 12" in height and has a beautiful "fleur de lis" design on it.  I love it!!!

A bird's eye view...

Just look at all the rich autumn colors sported by the pheasant feathers...sooo pretty!

On the left hand side of the vignette...a creamy white, cast iron bird...

and three decorative skeleton keys tied together with a gold satin ribbon.

Ahhh...bountiful autumn...
*

so warm and rich...

my heart and soul is full!
