It's Official FALL has arrived.

Oh thank goodness Fall has finally arrived.  I didn't post yesterday we had a crappy day. Our best show heifer passed away. We were heartbroken and I just couldn't make myself get motivated about posting or even be inspired about any kind of decorating. We were out with her until midnight Thursday and about midnight we left her knowing that she may not make it. There was nothing we could do for her and it made us feel helpless. We hugged her and told her how much we loved her and left to let her rest in peace. I went to feed early Friday morning and I found her, I just could believe it. The whole day was just crappy, it rained all day and we had to wait on the man to come get her. We were in shock and sad all day. It is still hard to believe our girl is gone.
This morning I woke up and tried to get my mind off yesterday and decided to do what makes me happy and that is making things around me beautiful, so I did my official Fall table.
My daughter and I sat down and did the table square. We had a great time stenciling and painting and she and I did the table together, so it may be one of my favorite tables. This is a joint table.

We did a couple DIY's in this table. We started by using a square piece of canvas and stenciling Grateful and Thankful on the corners. We used acrylic paint and the stencils were from the Target Dollar Spot. These stencils are pretty good. I just sprayed a little adhesive on the back and ot sticked great to the canvas. I used an off white charger and some pumpkin colored plates I picked up at Kroger.  REALLY! These plate are so pretty. The little white plates are from Hobby Lobby and they have a pumpkin embossed in the middle, so cute. I doubled up on the napkins. The gold napkins I used on the bottom are from Pier 1 and the patterned napkins are from TJ Maxx. I tied the napkins with some twine and placed them on the plate with a pumpkin from Hobby Lobby. The candle holders are all DIY's. You know the one where you E6000 candlesticks to candle holders. Yes, to easy and so perfect.

We used a decorating idea  my mother used when I was younger by putting beans, split peas and popcorn in a vase and adding a candle. In this one I used a candle from the Dollar Terr and put the beans, peas and popcorn around the candle so it wouldn't melt into the beans and make a total mess. The can is from Hobby Lobby and holds a bunch of wheat I picked up at Pier 1.  I wrapped a leaf garland around the can and it hid the battery box for the string lights. The dark iron namecard holders are from Hobby Lobby and the glasses are from the Dollar Tree. The Hello Fall banner is from Target and it's really pretty. I can't wait to use this table and celebrate the entrance of Fall.
The table is so festive and colorful. It just says Fall to me.  I hope you are finding inspiration this Fall to used things around your home to incorporate in your entertaining. Use some of those old decorating ideas it seems to make the table more comforting knowing that some traditions are still around. My mom would have loved this table.
Hopefully this week I can post about some other areas in my apartment that we decorated. I have some great ideas going on and hope it stops raining to be able to finish my patio and front door. Thinking about a a cool morning breakfast on the patio with fresh coffee now that the sir is getting cooler. Thank goodness.
Have fun decorating your beautiful space and remember there are no rules it's your space make it beautiful.
Thanks y'all. See you tomorrow.
