Yesterday I went for a hair cut. Afterwards I thought I would stop off at our local thrift. Bet you can’t guess what I was hoping to find. . .yup, another picnic hamper.
Well, didn’t find that, but soon I was tossing a few items into my cart.
As I headed out to the yard area to see if there was any other special ‘junk’ I glanced into my cart. I realized that I had the makings of a fun vignette. And yes, I did find something fun in the yard that I will share later.
This is just a little ‘sneak peek’.
I found this large tray for $1.50
The little glass (whatever) I thought I would use as a mjni cloche and the bottle with the silver trim were both $.50
I knew right away that this $3 candlestick would be great for Halloween.
Not wanting to wait I thought I would throw together a Fall vignette.
This morning two of my friends and I went to an estate sale. Afterwards we stopped by T.J. Maxx. I told myself that I was ‘NOT’ going to buy Fall or Halloween!
Well, guess who had to eat their words.
I bought a pumpkin and an owl. . .but look how cute they are! At $9.99 ea. I couldn’t resit. I love the plaid fabric and the wooden stem on the pumpkin. And those owl eyes, sigh!
My friend Peggy gave me a belated birthday gift. It was a wire basket full of goodies. Tied to the top was this sunflower and burlap. I wrapped the stem with a piece of green ribbon and added it and a couple of numbers to the pumpkin.
I googled to see when the first day of Autumn was. Wouldn’t you know that it is Sept. 22nd. Darn, I only had one #2. So I did the next best thing, 30 days till Autumn. Really though, I think I will change it to a 9 for Sept. Doubt I will count down the days. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I got a baggie of the wooden numbers at T.J’s for $2.
I added some acorns and berries inside the cloche, a paper feather, and a piece of parchment paper that I slightly curled the ends.
I love mixing the old with the new.
All sitting atop my thrifted tray. Easy Peasy. . .A Fall vignette!
I just played with it a little today. It won’t come out until September. Who knows, by then it may change a little.
Don’t you love it when something comes together that easy?
hugs,
Jann

It looks great Jann. I like the pumpkin and adding some things to it makes it even better. Yes, fall is just a month away. I'll probably start putting out some fall things after the first of September as our fall colours start earlier here. I'm already seeing a few leaves changed here and there. Have a great weekend. Pam
You always have that creative vibe that I envy! I love Autumn and am thinking about it, but so far -- nothing here!! Sally
That looks like a Halloween owl! I love it and the big pumpkin, too! What fun!
That is why I do not go to the malls or thrift stores too often. If I do not go,I will not buy something I really could do without. You did good on your outing.
I'm feeling Fall is in the air!
A fun way to spend the day. ;-)
oh man I thought you were making a Vinaigrette, and I wanted some but I think I'll pass on the Vingnette.
Funny how that happens, I was shopping second hand in Provo one day, and someone came up and commented on how everything in my cart went together ... Cool!
Looks pretty darned cute to me. I do love it when things just seem to FALL together...get it..Fall? Fall Vignette...never mind- it's late and I really need to go.to.bed. lol Have a great night- it looks really cute- xo Diana
Looks great! I'm so ready for Fall to get here. I was out shopping with my sister today and our favorite shops have all their Fall stuff out now. Made me want to decorate now, but I will wait until Fall gets here.

Well done, my friend!
You are such fun, Jann!
I love your thriftiness too!
I know what that baby cloche thing is: imagine a metal holder it drops into the other way around candle holder....I think it is vintage Princess House - maybe. That's my guess.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Nann visited my blog today - think you two talked? : - )
Jann, you're such a doll for featuring me at your party! I'm super late to the party this week b/c I had 2 nights of Curriculum night at my district. I'll probably get no views, but that's ok. Better late than never! Your little textbook feather is charming with the scroll paper- such a cute fall vignette.
What an adorable vignette! You have such a great eye for combining fun objects- our stores have all of the fall decor out and one craft store even had (dare I say it) Christmas decorations!
Love that little plaid pumpkin with the owl....Hoot!
Boy Jann you found some great items. I think that plaid pumpkin is just so cute!! I am getting in the mood for fall.

Your vignettes are always cute. I am in a 'use what I have' mode for August and have not been shopping. I am enjoying the challenge, but I need a TJ Maxx fix.
I borrowed a computer tonight just to catch up on my blogging friends! You've been busy, girl! I'm heading for Goodwill tomorrow--99 cent sale. Hope I score like you did.
Hugs,
Dru
Can't believe you are actually letting Fall in. What a cute vignette.
Sounds like you had a fun day, Jann. Thanks for sharing at my HOME and have a lovely week.
Blessings,
Sandi
How cool is that! It couldn't be any better if you'd planned it! I love the cute little cloche and the feather pen you made is amazing!
Hugs,
Patti
