I Am So Into Fall

I am so into fall I am also into Halloween already ya’ll. The dining room table at our yellow house has been evolving every weekend into a Halloween tablescape.

Joe keeps picking up the odd decoration at a garage sale or thrift store and it just grows.

I am just as bad of course.

We are sickos.

Every item on the table came from a garage sale or thrift store including the vintage table cloth. I used Marty’s method of cleaning this piece and it worked so wonderfully well! Thanks bunches Marty!

Is not my zombie a stinker? He is a Happy Meal toy. I adore him and have had him for years. Pull his left arm and his face changes.

Behold, now he is a Mummy! He might just make some more photos on the blog. I cannot help myself.

Zombie love.

I have a lot of close ups of the vintage table cloth that will be another post. Because it is a beauty.

I am linking to Marty’s link party at A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday.

Please visit the others for more loveliness and less zombies.

Table Top Tuesday; A First

This is my first Table Top Tuesday. It is Marty’s link party at a A Stroll Through Life If you have seen the photos of our living room at the yellow house some of these items may be a repeat for you. I do change objects around quite a lot as Joe and I thrift over two states.

The pineapple lamp is from a second hand store close to our old house. The ginger jar is a garage sale find. The small cloche is from a thrift store and the large one is from an estate sale. The tiny creamers inside the cloches are all from garage sales. The white pitcher was made in Italy for Williams Sonoma. I got it on clearance for sixty percent off the regular price. Williams Sonoma is a beautiful store but the prices are scary.

The duck mandible is really Joe’s brother’s. We are holding it hostage because I like it very much. Joe found the drift wood at the beach. The little elephant is from a garage sale.

The small oval mirror is from a thrift store. The print was purchased in Florence, Italy and is of the Ponte Vecchio  bridge where we purchased our wedding bands.

My little three drawer chest holds my vintage linens. I have had it for many years. I did purchase it from an antiques store. I love the drawer pulls.
