What's It Wednesday #138
Living
in South Florida where real fall colors are at a premium, I wanted to
share this gorgeous arrangement my darling daughter and little
grandson sent me, just because. I love the punch of robust color
added to the softness of the peach roses and white hydrangeas. I
actually spilled some of the water because I didn't think they were
real!
Even
though we stay green pretty much all year in Miami, we do love
decorating for the seasons. This is a little vignette I put together
for the entry table. Of course, I included some wheat and an acorn
for good luck!
This
little side table got the bright reds and oranges that are balanced
by some classic blue and white. I think it's a great compliment to
any décor.
Outside
you'd be surprised what your local dollar store can yield. With a
little bit of color blending my ten dollar investment reaped an
arrangement fit to grace any home. I found the cornucopia at Goodwill
for $2.00, yea!
This
lovely arrangement was just the inspiration I needed to put me in the
mood for Fall. Thank you my two sweeties!
Hugs,
Patti

You have such a unique sense of style, Patti. I love visiting here each week because I know I will see gorgeous originality! So nice that the bouquet inspired you to decorate your house so beautifully. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteHope your week is fabulous!
What fall decor inspiration you've got goin' on!! I love every splash of fall color you've used Patti. The colors are starting to pop out here and there in Ohio and I'm loving it. I went on a Cabin Scrapbook Weekend with my girlfriends this past weekend in a place called Blue Ridge Rock Region and had the most wonderful time. The floral arrangement you received is gorgeous!! Such sweeties you have!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Edie Marie
Patti, I love all your wonderful decorations for fall. What a sweet bouquet from your daughter and g.son. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteseasons comes and seasons go here in Australia - we don't do any of the seasonal decorating like you do in America. Perhaps we should - it looks so lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou have such beautiful things to decorate for Fall. Enjoy your week and thanks for the party! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteYou always come up with gorgeous vignette arrangements .
ReplyDeleteI seen all my fall items in my storage room on a shelf and they are still there LOL
Thank you for hosting this great party!
ReplyDeletePatti,
ReplyDeleteI just know you were so tickled with the hydrangea and rose mix bouquet you received from your family!
Your vignettes are all lovely, but I am bit partial to the one with the gorgeous acorn.
Thank you so much for including me this week in your features!
Warmest Wishes for a good week~

ReplyDeleteyour flowers are so pretty..and your family so sweet to send them to you. I have always loved JUST BECAUSE gifts. :)
Hi Patty. Love the blue transferware and orange...great color contrast! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall decor! Thank you so much for featuring my mini bedroom makeover....It's always a pleasure to stop by and join the party! Hugs, Penny
ReplyDeleteOh Patti... every time you invite me into your beautiful home, I feel like I am entering a most enchanted castle... where a beautiful Princess (you) lives... your Autumn arrangements are just stunning, and how sweet of your daughter and precious little grandson to send them to you "just because"... (the very best reason of all)... and I really LOVE your fall colors with your Blue Willow... I have mine out too, I think the oranges and blue are just fabulous together!... Happy Autumn to you pretty lady!... xoxo... Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteYour fall decorations are so lovely, Patti...and how sweet to receive a "just because" arrangement like that! Love all of the beautiful features, too! Thanks so much for hosting!
ReplyDeleteLovely fall decor. Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite time of year and I found it so difficult to do any kind of fall decor when we lived in Central Florida. I was so thrilled to get back to an area that has all the changing seasons. I love how you have embraced it. Thank you for the great party. Cathy
ReplyDeleteLOVE the blue willow (of course because that's what I eat off of every day lol!) There is nothing prettier than blue and orange for Fall we think :) You are making us feel bad for not getting our decorations at home out yet lol!! Guess what we'll be doing this week....we'd better because we have to start getting Christmas out at the store....and then our time is all gone for ourselves!! Thanks again for hosting ~ always a fun party!!
ReplyDeleteKarla & Karrie
The decorations are really cute. Thanks for hosting. Tina
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you got the florals for your front door at the dollar store~~~it just goes to show, it's not what you have but what you do with it!!! And you did fantastic!!! Love all your fall vignettes, especially the one with blues...Oohlala! Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful arrangement on your front door, Patti! Lovely vignettes. I am linking up for the first time in a while. I did a little makeover and so I'm sharing it this week. Thank you for hosting.

Thank you for hosting, Patti. For someone who doesn't get much fall color you have certainly made your home warm and welcoming for fall..Happy Wednesday..Judy

As you saw in my post (thanks for visiting and commenting), I love hydrangeas, and your just-because-we-love-you arrangement is beautiful!
ReplyDeletelove all the fall colors and the features were really stylish!
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria
The arrangement your daughter and grandson sent is gorgeous, not to mention the lovely thought behind the gift! I think you did a great job bringing some fall touches to Miami!
ReplyDeleteYour Fall vignettes and such are beautiful. I love the arrangement that your daughter and grandson sent. I live in the south as well. So, Fall foliage is at a very minimal here. Thanks so much for the party. And for stopping by The Southern Special. Have an awesome day.
ReplyDeletePatti, your home looks wonderful....and yes, while it may be a little sad you don't have the 4 seasons, I tell ya you also don't have these wicked awful cold long grey horrific winters! Fair trade, I'd venture to say, huh? : - )
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting. I am sharing a recentish autumn tablescape post today.
It's nice to join in the fun!
Thanks for the feature! You made my afternoon. :) Bless you both.

I love your fall decoration and it's beautiful with your blue transferware.
ReplyDeletePaula, love all the fall touches. The door looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week ladies! Hugs, Dianne
Patti,
ReplyDeleteI love the table where you have the orange colors with the beautiful blue and white plate. You're right, a touch of blue goes with so many things. And do you know that the blue tea cups are the prettiest to me? Your Autumn décor looks so festive and lovely in your home. I look forward to seeing some of your Christmas ideas too. I am always filled with inspiration when I come and visit.
love,

Dearest Patti! Good morning! I hope your Friday is off to a good start! We here in Minnesota are off (yesterday and today) for MEA conferences, and both teachers and students really need the break! How is your teaching year going?
ReplyDeleteYour kind comment this morning cut straight and lovingly into my heart, because just recently, I experienced yet another judgement on my character from someone who does not know me. With every good intention, some people think they know you AND what is best for you. But each of us knows and better yet, GOD knows what is best for us. I am grateful that He puts that suggestion into each individual heart in order that we may explore it, ourselves. Now that's God's freedom!
Be happy and cozy today! Anita
Your Fall touches are just lovely. It's amazing you make that beautiful door arrangement from thrifty places. Thanks for sharing these inspiring ideas.
ReplyDeleteOh Patti, I'm so loving your fall vignettes, they are so beautiful. Here in Miami we have to create our fall colors and that ok, it's fun too. You had such inspiration with those lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party again, but I made it. Thanks for hosting.
Blessings,
Marlene
What a beautiful arrangement, Patti! Such a sweet gift! I love all of your Fall decor!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for leaving such a kind note for Cosmo!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a beautiful weekend.

Penny
What gorgeous pictures....How did I not know you were a fellow Floridian?! Good for you, what gorgeous fall arrangements! I have so much trouble motivating myself to decorate for fall when it is so hot here. Off to visit some of your great party link ups
ReplyDeleteCarol
Thank you for inviting me to be part of What's It Wednesday, Patti.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your orange/blue vignette, it is very striking.
Have a wonderful week.
Oh my dear your Fall decor is simply stunning. Each element gives just the right feeling of cozy and warmth. Now you really know how to throw a party. I shall be seeing lots of beauty and inspiration. Falling into Autumn Bliss...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by Little Farmstead and the invite to your party! Happy to participate. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour vignettes are always so pretty, I'm loving the beautiful fall colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet thing for your daughter and grandson to do, I hope you get many weeks of enjoyment out of them.
Oh Patti,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful daughter and grandson to think of your during this Autumn season with all the fall-ness around us encouraging us to look all around at the colourfull changes.
Your vignettes always speak perfection, they couldn't have been more perfect. Love the $1.00 store for things just like this. You really don't mind any wear and tear to such loveliness when the price is so right.
And your entry table is so beautiful, it shows off the vignette with a perfect welcoming to all things fall.
Thank you dear for your beautiful visit.
I have been working on new projects and creating for the holidays as well, see you and your beauty soon.
Xoxo
