Fall is in the air

I can't wait for the cool, crisp breeze of autumn; for our trips through the canyons to enjoy the beautiful view and the contrast of the blue spruce pines with the rest of the trees turning yellow, orange and red.


We like to gather red leaves and put them between a book to dry, then we can use them to decorate the house and for crafts.


(Back to reality, it's still in the upper nineties outside)

This is a table that I got some weeks ago
I like it because you can remove the legs and save space if you have a craft show, etc.

But I didn't like the look of the cheap material (plus I stained it watering my violet)
I bought a couple of yards of burlap and covered the top

Then I just hot glued the burlap around it


There you have it, no sewing required, instant new look.

Now let's get back to fall ....
I was so in the fall mood that I even baked butter and cream scones, yes baking and with 98 temperature outside, I must be crazy.
But I start decorating for fall on September 1st no matter what



What about you?
Are you ready for fall yet? 

French word of today:
Pumpkin = citrouille

  1. I'm so not ready for fall yet Ido! I feel like I didn't get enough of the gorgeous summer I've enjoyed in the past. Speaking of gorgeous, I love how gorgeous your round burlap tablecloth is. Love that little vignette you created there. You're getting so crafty...thanks for the hot glue tip coz now I can attempt this. I cannot sew to save my live. Happy week my dear!

  2. I am ready for the cool air too! Unfortunately, it will be December before we get below 70. Your table looks great and I love that you hot glued it! My daughters used to tell their teachers that their Mom did not know how to sew but she sure could use a hot glue gun. Have a beautiful week.

  4. My signal that fall has begun is to hear the acorns falling from the huge oak tree in the front of the house.
    We were blessed with perfect weather the last few days here in Cleveland. I love not being hot!

    Cute table, Ido! I need you to decorate my house for fall! I'd love to see what you'd come up with.

  9. Ido, Tee Hee! I WISH that I could get a little plastic surgery! I have only been able to have the outside buffed a little bit and the irony of it all is that my husband does the anesthesia for our local plastic surgeon! You would think I would look 21 by now!!! :)

  16. I had to look where you lived, because it is still in the 90's here in Orlando. I have a couple of those tables too. One is for my Christmas tree. Yep, I love the way they store and your table cover is genius!

  19. 98 degrees? Oh boy, sure I would love a crisp breeze ! Our Dutch summer was very wet and cold this year, so I think I am not ready for fall ...

    Love that vintage kitchen scale!

  22. I love your burlap covered table, and your French word of the day, too! You would love them temps here, in the low 70's (at most) and in the 50's at night! Happy autumn!!
