Fall Decorations post #3

Scroll down first to see the beginning of these blog posts. Here is day 3, my living room. I was able to spend some money on a few fall decorations. Hobby lobby again to the rescue! They had all their fall/Halloween decor on sale 50% off two months before the holiday. Who does that? Retail sure has changed. Shows you what the economy is really like.

I purchased two acorns. My cell phone camera just didn't give it justice. They are much more detailed and colored gorgeously in real life. The baby acorn lasted only 1 week before the other baby in the house destroyed it. The tops come off to reveal little secret compartments inside. Caleb couldn't resist. He played so much one day that it was bound to happen; he dropped the top and broke the stem. I've debated replacing it but am convinced it WILL happen again. With 3 boys and a cat wandering around, my house is always in danger. No nice pieces of furniture or accessories here. One day though. Maybe in my room in heaven.



My new accessories include a brown metal bell with bird on top. The kids are always asking if I'll ring the bell for dinner and to start school. It's surprisingly loud too. Beside that cute bell is a little dish with mini acorns in it. They've been bombs in wars being dropped from the living room down to the front door. Surprisingly, they survived in one piece. I had a scarecrow in the plant for a few days til Caleb discovered it. He really hated it. He said it scared him even though it was a cute friendly scarecrow. He asked for the black crow instead.



On top of the tv cabinet, the gorgeous lime green hydrangeas in the silver pitcher came down and was replaced with wheat and fall flowers. They totally changed the feel of the room.



The last two pictures are of my leather chair. I bought a new fall pillow and placed a bright gold blanket on the arm. Two little cuties begged to be in the last picture so you can see the blanket behind their heads.
