Do any of you do a fall arrangement either outside or inside? I'd love to see some pictures.
Here's mine by the front steps. I got a great deal at a nearby nursery (Richmond). They had a fall decorating promotion - straw bale, pumpkin, corn stalks, indian corn and a large pot of mums for $19.99.
sanannie ~ very halloweeny looking.
Nice job.
Joan
Thanks Joan. I know its not very creative but it is fall-like. I guess I could carve that pumpkin soon, too.
Maybe a few smaller punkins sanannie. What ya think?
Joan
I have a couple of planters by the front steps and last month I filled them with Juniper cuttings and a variety of seed heads but they have gotten sort of tacky looking so I trotted off to Michael's yesterday and this is the result (a good day to go big sale!)
a frosty close up
Joan - hey I think you're right, I'll get a few smaller pumpkins and some gourd's. Thanks for the suggestion!
fancyvan - Now, see THAT's creative. The juniper branches look fabulous in those containers, especially with a touch of frost on them. Love it.
They look great sanannie and fancy.
the best I can do is the line-up of mums on my front step.
Ann
fancyvan, your Frosty is pretty 'kool'
Joan lol
But Ann, they are so pretty. No need to be an artiste.
Joan
I always think a few pots of fall colored mums on the front step looks great!
Yes, I really like that too, Ann....and the fallen leaves at their feet.
Great job everyone! Usually I put up fall decorations but didn't have time this year. I just let the leaves do there own thing....lol. I was going to go and take a picture right now....but can you believe it....it's hailing!
:) Donna
Okay here are two picture of Nature and me doing the decorating.
:) Donna
Donna, your 'pot-crow' is way kool.
Joan
Thanks, Joan. Except she is a Lady not a crow....lol.
:) Donna
LOL Donna, of course she's a lady.
I was having fun with scare-crow and changed it to pot-crow.
Whatever! I really like her.
Joan
Ooops, I thought Ms. Pot was a man at first - it must have been the buzz cut ;-)
Just LOVE that, Donna!
Nice arrangements ladies!
I don't put any arrangements together because I just don't seem to have the knack. I'd have to hire a designer I think, lol.
Thanks for sharing.
Erynne
Thank you! Didn't you know that the buzz cut is in....lol!
:) Donna
I love these pics! I've got to get my act together and add a couple to this thread.
Fancyvan that bouquet truly showcases fall's beauty! Ü

Yes, pretty please get your act together Lilypon! ;-)
so here is my act for what it is worth
and here are the fall flowers
planted my bulbs today in amongst the grasses for early color; but i like the look of the grasses this time of year
GG going for the last of the strawberries - yes, there are still berries ripening despite the frost
Your fall arranging is awesome! Did you put the speed bump sign on purpose so that drivers have to slow to look at your yard?
;) Donna
They'd probably slow down anyway once they get an eyeful of that scarecrow - he's the best!
Very nice!
jagonjune, Your act is priceless. Be proud.
Joan
Looking wonderful Lynn! Ü Your scarecrow is the bestest I've seen! (You must feed yours really well;)
All these look so interesting I thought I'd get in on the show and tell.
Here are my photos .
Not too much plant life with the Bats but at night when we close the blinds the outside light shows them off for passers by.
The second photo is from the front outside. I had to take it during the day as night time is hard to get a photo to work.
Happy Halloween!!
Ann
Here is the front one.
Ann
Love the bats!
Ann, I've never seen bats done on a window before. You are SO ready for Halloween!
Ann, the bats are great.
Around here we couldn't leave stuff like that out - it would be gone in no time flat. Around here, we do most of the decorating on Halloween Eve. and take it down the same night.
Too sad.
Joan
LOVE IT!!! We have similar tastes Ann. :)
Thankyou All
They are not expensive. Dollar store black construction paper for the bats and they are inside.
The other outside things are styrofoam discarded at work that I cut and sprayed with florists paint( doesnt melt the styro).
My hubby puts sticks in the ground and we attach the "things"
I tried to do a night shot and this is the best I could get.
Happy Haunting!
Ann
Oooh, I luv your Halloween decorations! Great job!!
:) Donna
