A Front Entry for Fall...


This week I re-did the front entry to our home for fall!  I brought out the wonderful old Handy Hauler that we found curbside last year...


I love this rusty chippy old thing...and filled it with colorful mums!



A chippy old twig stand doesn't mind the weather, and holds one of some vintage folk art wood crows I have...




along with a great warty pumpkin!



The old picket fence comes in handy all year...


We are having the most wonderful fall weather this year, and all of these leaves (and we have a LOT of them!) are falling everywhere...


as nature adds the best decoration of all...a beautiful, deep carpet of leaves...


Until next time...I will be enjoying every minute I can...even with a rake in my hands!

Your photos show the most beautiful fall colors. That handy hauler is THE BEST. You were so lucky to find such a neat old piece.

Oh my goodness, Linda, I love the Handy Hauler! It looks soooo good with those mums. Wasn't the wind crazy today? I think most of the leaves are on the ground now. Yours look so pretty all nestled up on your front entry.

Deb said...

So charming! Needless to say, I've done nothing.

Linda, I love that old handy hauler and the old chippy table. The whole entry looks great. I have been enjoying this great fall weather too. The wind the last couple of days has blown most of the leaves from my trees onto the lawn. It looks like your front entry. Keep enjoying fall.

What a welcome!

I love your porch and the handy hauler is so cute. I love, love love it all.

I was wondering, before I got to the end of your post whether you picked up the leaves elsewhere and placed them on your porch - they look so perfect!

Have a lovely weekend

Hi Linda,
So nice to meet you, I'm so glad I found you. What a beautiful blog you have!!! Just charming entry and fall decor.

Thanks for following me!

Happy Weekend,

I have to say when I first saw your picture I thought it was from Pinterest or a magazine! I didn't know it was right in front of your front door! The yellow leaves are the perfect accent. I thought you may have purposely scattered them there until I saw the next pic with all the leaves. Amazing! You must live further north because we're not getting anything like that yet. What a very nice country Fall entrance you've created.

LizlovesVintage said...

Oh, my. Linda that find is so darn cute!!! I like how you decorated for Fall. I need to get a move on.

Cindy said...
