I did a little more decorating for Fall today. I picked this little banner up at a garage sale.
Then I hot glued dry leaves to a length of brown string . Some of the leaves refuse to face the right way! I hung it between the dining room and the sun room. I have a feeling this won't last long. One six-footer walks under it and it will come down.
I also got these 3 little pieces at a garage sale for .75. One is quite long ( I folded it up for the picture) and has a few small stains but I still like all the work that went into it. I'm not sure but I think the flowers are made up of countless French knots.
I love handmade quilted bags and this pretty one was my latest addition. Fifty cents, the man said!
It has deep pockets on front and back and I just love the trim along the top! It was in a pile of baby clothes so maybe it was meant as a diaper bag??
When I got home from shopping I thought the week's fruit looked so pretty I took a picture of it!
That sums up my Saturday. The weather was perfectly Autumn weather. I found time to sit on the porch and watch the Hummingbirds at the feeder and Chickadees at the bird bath.
Thanks for reading about my day. I hope you had a lovely one too.

Beautiful doilies, yes it looks like french knots! Cute bag! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful treasures you found, I particularly loved the quilted bag a real bargain. The fruit does make for a very pretty picture. I had a great day in the kitchen making chutney and jam.
ReplyDeleteHi Granny Marigold, you find the greatest things at yard sales and thrift shops!
ReplyDeleteWe had a great day too at Applefest. But it was too darn hot! Thirty three degrees with a humidex of nearly forty. The same weather is forecast today. Please send some Autumnal weather this way!

:-)))) Let us know, how long, the leaves swag lasted!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, fruits and veggies are beautiful. I do the same, take pics of them. :-)

Very cozy autumn house. You did a nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I do wish you'd post on your blog!!
DeleteYou always find the best things at sales and thrift stores! I often take photos of fruit too... I especially like apples all shined up!
ReplyDeleteYour fall décor looks pretty and cozy. I'll be curious to hear how the leaf garland fares.
ReplyDeleteI love the looks of the fruit all together like that. So colorful.
I love all of your fall decorations, my friend! That banner of leaves you made just amazes me. I don't think I would have the patience to work on something like that. You found some beautiful handwork at the thrift store...and the quilted bag is so cute. Someone put a lot of work into all of those finds.
ReplyDeleteThose are some fine thrift store finds! I like that sweet knitting bag. Happy Autumn!!
ReplyDeleteThe heart garland is cute and I love your dried leaf garland! Great idea. I also love embroidery, it reminds me of the 'old days.' Hope you're having a great week.
