Fall Island Scape

The island needs to be decked out for Fall.

It seems that Christmas comes so fast that

there isn't much time to decorate for Thanksgiving.

We are usually out of town for

Thanksgiving, but I like to have
some  Fall decor set out.

My island is deep enough that it can accomodate a sizeable

arrangement.  Plus, it hides the faucet and sink!

I started with a beautiful floral arrangement that I have

had for years as the focal point.  It is anchored by

a table scarf to give the arrangement a base.

Then I started gathering pumpkins, gourds and candles in

varying heights and textures.

Nothing is new this year, it is all just in a new place.

I love to create new arrangements.

I needed to go find something a little shorter to fill in this

hole.

There it is a nice scape to fill the island to get everyone

in the Thanksgiving Spirit.

I will be sharing this on

Table Top Tuesday.

Today I am thankful for the joy the

little people bring.  I love being a

grandmother, it is the greatest role.

The love and joy that radiates in their

faces brightens my days and of course

their hugs and kisses are better than

chocolate!
