~ *EARLY FaLL Decor with ViNtaGe FiNds*~

Come Late August through the first few weeks of September, I like to start introducing some of my ViNtaGe FaLL Decor.

I RESERVE *JUST ONE AREA FOR THIS* in-our-home...

   Initially I shy away from PuMpKiNs, Strong ORANGE Colors, and PLAIDS at this time, so as not to tire of them as the month moves on...  Looking to *NATURE* ~ many a seasonal plant is turning/popping up!  I begin introducing colorful Apple-Green Hydranges, Yellow Tansy/Yarrow, & Snippets of "this & that" that are good Dried Items for Basket Fillers or Go-With Adornments...   I ~*JuSt LoVe Using ViNtaGe Containers & SaLvaGeD Pieces to Display These In!*!*!
