Fabulous Fall from a Teen’s Perspective

Fall colours in the Cowichan Valley are so beautiful right now, just as deep and firey as you would imagine…

I wanted to capture them before it was too late. So I asked Kaleigh if she would take some photos for me…

These images, including the one above, are hers.

Here’s a look at our Fall colours from this special teen’s perspective.

 

I asked for a few shots of random leaves on the ground…

And anything that caught her eye…

Did the odd animal off to the side catch your eye? ;-)

Maybe some grasses and branches…

Clusters of colourful trees…

Or even trees on the side of the road…

Whatever she thought would highlight the Fall colours…

In a way that captures what we’re lucky enough to see each day…

I think Kaleigh got it just right!

I bet we could put together a display like this…

With some of the fallen leaves.

And work the grasses and branches she shot…

Into vintage vessels like these!

Thank you, Kaleigh for helping me out today. I couldn’t have done this without you!

I hope you enjoyed Kaleigh’s tour as much as I did!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Fresh Pears for Fall Flair

It’s been so warm I haven’t been inspired to think about Autumn yet, that is until the cool set in today. So for some fall inspiration I turned to one of my favorite fruits…

Here are some simple ideas to dress up your décor with the help of fresh pears and a few assorted companions…

Like a wooden crate and autumn leaves to create an instant hit with organic flair.

Or a clear vase filled with water and blossoms. Try swapping out the blossoms for plain branches to really bring the feeling of autumn inside.

How stunning is this pear shaped container filled with… you know it… pears!

And if a pear shaped container is not within reach, creating a mini vignette like this one would be easy to do. Do you think the covers have been removed from the books?

When you’re having guests in for dinner an edible place card holder is sure to create some conversational buzz!

And see how pretty this table setting is…

Putting together an autumn look can be effortless. A tray of pears and glowing candles is all you need.

But if you really want to have a little fun…

Try this DIY project for gilded pears!

With a display like this, how can you resist? Seriously, it looks harder than it is… click here for the step-by-step tutorial!
