Last fall, in the post Kopycat Fall Candle, I added fall leaves to my glass candles by copying a magazine picture. Yeah...I know. It was pretty simple and I should've thought of it myself.
I kind of like my rendition better than theirs. Here's the magazine's photo:

Well, the other day I was trying to add some fall zing around the house and discovered there isn't much you can't "zing up" with a few fall leaves!
I stuck them in my chalkboards and found that sometimes too many is too many! After I stuck them under the bottom of the clock, I added some to the top too.
See what I mean? New decorating rule to write down: Sometimes Too Many Is Too Many!
And sometimes too many can be just right. The little pumpkins looked pretty bare before I overwhelmed them with leaves...
Adding a pile of leaves and a few more pumpkins makes the plain chalkboard look a little more cheerful! Sorry for the shadows, but I had to run over and take a picture for you even though it's night here.
So that's a little fall decorating here. Safety Tip: If you add leaves to your candle holders, be sure to use battery operated candles that won't set the leaves on fire!
Thanks for dropping by!

Isn't it amazing how adding simple leaves spices up the look!
ReplyDeleteOften when I used to paint or draw or do anything creative really I would "Gild the Lily". There's an art to not over doing it!
ReplyDeleteYour painting of Elvis on your blog recently was beautifully done.
DeleteI love what you've done, the splash of fall color is perfect and lovely!
ReplyDeleteI like YOUR version better, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat new decorating rule (except for sometimes.....) lol!
I prefer your version of the leaves too. Amazing what a few leaves can do .
ReplyDeleteThe leaves looks good, even when they're too much. Love the teapot

I love leaves as part of Fall decor...I think yours are just right in all the appropriate places...as long as you aren't putting any in your underwear drawer...now THAT would be overkill.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed upcoming week, Sugar. xo Diana
Well Di, I tried to hang some around Wild Bill's neck but he bulked at that. Only you would think of decorating the underdraws!
DeleteSometimes just the little touches make an enormous difference. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI like your version of the leaves and candle too. I'm not big on candles for that reason, fire. I'm terrible at not being careful.
ReplyDeleteYour "little" Decorating is perfect! Adding autumn leaves warms everything up!
ReplyDeleteYour decorations are great to look at. Don't forget that November the 5th is bonfire night. Let's start something here that you'll remember every year. The giving of sweets is optional.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely and simple ideas. Still, will I try them? No. I'm too tired after work!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see the maple leaves every where. I love the color and texture of the leaf.
ReplyDeleteYour fall leaves add just the right touch! Love your pretty clock and chalkboard, too! xx Karen
