Tips for Tantalizing Tablescapes

D elight can be found in the most unexpected places.  Have you ever wandered into a shop and discovered much more than you expected?  That's what happened to me recently when I stumbled through the doors of DECOR.

Of course, how could anyone resist an exterior color scheme like this?

VINTAGE-INSPIREDENCHANTED FOREST CHRISTMAS TREE (Plus a Holiday Linky Party)

N othing illustrates the beauty of Christmas quite like a decorated tree.  It is, of course, the iconic symbol of the holiday season.

I love seeing the abundance of creativity that explodes this time of year with holiday trees that are adorned with every theme you can imagine.

W ith the Thanksgiving turkey and all the trimmings now firmly behind us, it's time to look forward to the next big holiday observance.

Throughout the rest of this post, allow me to share a handful of other great looking projects and ideas crafted by fellow bloggers who love the season as much as I do.

FALL FRONT DOOR DECOR

D rive through any neighborhood this time of year and you'll likely see the signs of the Autumn season written all over assorted front doors.

I love Fall, front door decor with it's colorful, vibrant mix of browns, reds and various orange hues.

T ypically when your Fall pumpkins turn soft, it's time to toss them.  Well, that's certainly not the case with these pumpkins.

They almost look like they were plucked right from a pumpkin patch and this is one harvest you definitely won't want to throw away at the end of the season.

C an you believe it's October?  This is actually my favorite time of year thanks to much cooler, crisp temps and all the Fall color that pops up in nature, home decorating and elsewhere.

They almost look like the real thing, don't they?
