Fall Berries and Cloches


The dogwood trees are full of red berries now and
the birds are enjoying the abundance of them in our yard. 
Look in your yard or local park and decorate with some leaves or berries. 
It is a lot of fun and it is free.


I enjoy the milk glass urns in the cloches and did not wish to change anything on the three drawer chest which you have seen many times here. I simply added fall berries which somehow look like Christmas to me too.



 The little green berries came off an ornamental tree we have and I do not know what it is.
I am a font of garden information. Not.


Above you get a peek of an antique barrel trunk that is a whole other story for another day but I cannot get a good image of it and I have tried and tried.

I am linking to the font of cloche inspiration Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for the Fall Cloche Party.

may joy and peace surround you

    This is a great look for year round displays of color under glass in the milk glass. I really like it!

    Love this idea! "She" noticed some fall colored oak leaves still on a branch and thought of bringing them in but couldn't figure out a way to keep me out of them. You know the old munch, crunch, munch, hack, hack, yak thing.....I shall have to share this with "her". I figure why not. I have my eyes on the basil sitting in the kitchen window ;)

    Purrs!

    Your home always looks so gorgeous Olive! I love your cloche collection but I especially love how Christmassy they look! I am getting so excited about Christmas...I'm actually listening to the new Michael Buble Christmas album as I blog hop!

    Best wishes for a wonderful week,

    Those berries are awesome, Olive. I thought I had a dogwood tree but I guess I don't because I don't get these berries! it looks like a forsythia anyway! lol!

    Love the berries Olive. I never knew they were from dogwood. On my walk route there are 2 trees just full of red berries right now. Bet they are dogwood. You don't think you are a font of information but you're wrong! Sure wish I had a dogwood...

    I love using foliage from the yard myself. I don't think I've ever actually seen dogwwood foliage till now... it's really pretty I love how the leaves are spotted, and it looks great under glass too!
    Nice job!

    OMG! This is the first settings that really touch my real me.

    My husband (sitting next to me) said:
    "This is my all time fave" No drama!
    And when he say so, I know that he mean and he knows his style.

    Very PRETTY, NEAT & ELEGANT.
