Nature Inspired Fall Decor

Happy Friday, everyone!
As always, I can not believe how quickly this week has flown by! Still trying to get caught up from being on vacation, yesterday was spent doing "chores", so today I thought I would take a little time for some fun blogging!

I have been so inspired by all of  you ladies who have shared your fantastic fall decor, so I re-did my antique hutch in our living room, in a naturalistic theme.  On our camping trip to the U.P., we picked up lots of pretty pinecones, moss, acorns (I am sure that the squirrels are mad at me!), and moss covered twigs in the woods.  I could hardly wait to add them to my autumnal decor.

Best of all, I used accessories that I already had on hand, I didn't have to buy anything new!  I added my mercury glass votives from last Christmas to a little silver tray, tossed in some of the U.P. moss and pinecones and nuts.  Love this look!

I've shown you this hutch before, not sure if you've seen it or not.  My great grandparents made it out of a door and a table, I believe, well over 100 years ago.  While I normally gravitate towards the white painted shabby chic look, this is one of my favorite pieces of furniture!

Hubby & I gathered up a bunch of bittersweet vine from the woods near our house, and I fashioned some of it into this wreath.  It really made a mess shedding its' "husks"!

Mouth blown glass bottle.  Love the green color!

I just plopped in some of the moss into this vintage planter my Mom gave me years ago.  I love the texture of this planter, reminds me of bark.

More bittersweet.  Note to self:  vacuum house after bringing in fresh bittersweet vine!

Sweet vintage bronzed baby shoes, and a postcard in a vintage flower frog.  The postcard is a copy of a painting called "The Nut gatherers".  I remember having to write a paper about it in college in my art appreciation class, after I saw the painting in person at the Detroit Institute of Art.

This bronze lion bank belonged to my Dad when he was little. It means so much to me, so I always incorporate it into whatever my decorating theme is, even Christmas decor!

More moss, which I added to an old ironstone mug that I've had forever.  The wooden box came from my grandparents basement many years ago, it originally held canned cod fish (eeew! I love fish, but canned cod fish just doesn't sound very appealing to me!).

Vintage books and a little lantern.  I love picking up these old books at our libraries used book sale for next to nothing!

Sorry for all of the glare!  I had a heck of a time trying to take a photo of my cloche!  Tucked inside is a sweet little bunny that my oldest sister gave me years ago.  He has made a nest for himself on fresh moss and pinecones.  If any of you ladies have tips on how to avoid glare on glass, I sure would appreciate it!!

Wallace Nutting print from the 1930's.  This is going in my Etsy shop shortly, but I thought I would enjoy it for the time being!  It is a hand tinted photo of a gorgeous fall scene in Pennsylvania.

One last look at my hutch.  Thanks so much for stopping by today, I just love getting visitors!  Now I am off to see what you all have been up to!
