Pumpkins and Polka Dots

With this year's autumn decorating I decided to try something other than the typical orange/red/yellow leaves and super-sized orange pumpkins.  

On my fall mantel I used subdued creams and brown.

My outdoor decor ( that you will see in a few days) is done in grey, yellow and navy blue.  

And my kitchen decor??  What did I use there??

You'll not see any orange here - only the cutest little white pumpkins and my collection of red and white polka-dotted dishes!

I threw in some other  favourite red things too, including this mini-frames with little pictures of my munchkins.

I bought these fake white pumpkins-on-a-stick on my first visit to Hobby Lobby this past weekend.  Man- why did it take me so long to visit that place?  And the deals they were having! OMG.  I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!!

Polka-dotted friends sign??  Michaels - 1 dollar.  

This cookie jar is my latest spotty acquisition.  It looks really comfy along side my dotty mini-milk pitcher.  

More little pumpkins - balanced upon my shiny red candlesticks.

I love this jug.  My mother gave it to me for Christmas a few years ago.  I dolled it up with some fake red sunflowers from the craft store.

Here is a view of the middle 2 shelves.  

Oooohhh - those dots and pumpkins make me smile!

And here's the whole she-bang.    I tend to re-accessorize these shelves (built by my hubby's grandfather many moons ago) about 2 months.  I think they'll stay this way until the big changes for Christmas......

. . . . . . unless of course some Hallowe'en inspiration hits. . . . .

Cheers,
