Remember this from BHG?
Here’s My version…..
With all the Fall talk in blogland….well, I inspired myself with my recent white pumpkin post, so decided to get a fake pumpkin (from Hobby Lobby), paint it white (with white spray paint primer I had on hand) and do a stencil. And it turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself!
Had all of these things lying around the house, so it was out with the shells (well, most of them anyway) and in with the pinecones and acorns. I love using natural materials so much these days and that really got started with me last year at Christmas. All the pinecones and acorns from the yard and neighborhood really come in handy for decorating naturally.
Those are the 2 candlesticks I found at the yardsale last week. That urn that the big pumpkin is sitting in was actually a brass thing that I’ve had for years and bronzed a long time ago. It gets recycled and used from time to time. Baby pumpkins are also fake (from Hobby Lobby) and they got the white treatment too.
My iron birds are just perpetual welcomers in the front door, all 4 seasons. 
This heavy iron urn is a yardsale fave from many years ago (for $5) and it has been outside and now inside. Filled with pinecones, acorns and a touch of white starfish, I love it’s ruffly edge.
It all says Welcome to our house for Fall!
That really TALL candlestick, I snagged at Tuesday AM one time on clearance for $5. The top was broken, but I glued it back. It’s made out of wood too.
Come on in….
Another yardsale find from last year, this metal leaf and acorn plate is really fun to work with and fits perfectly in the bamboo easel. In fact, almost everything on this table came from yardsales. I have a lot of fun changing out my foyer table with the seasons. I’ve done a little something Fallish for the frontdoor too that I’ll share with you later!
Happy Fall to y’all!
Happy Fall to you, too, Rhoda! I’m up with the brids this a.m.
Looks like you’ve been a busy girl. I like your natural look combined with the iron work. Always amazed at the treasures you find our thrifting. Your post has inspired me to get busy and do some fall decorating of my own, though it still feels like summer here. Brutal heat on Sunday, but hopefully we will feel fall soon.
Maybe if we put our pumpkins out, fall will come. You think? 😉
XO,
Sheila
Oops… make that “out” thrifting. My eyes aren’t awake yet. 🙂

I DO remember that white stenciled pumpkin from BHG… I have the magazine. :o) Yours looks every bit as good. I love the look of those white pumpkins. I’m a big pinecone, acorn decorator too. It’s pretty and FREE! :o)
you know, I have to say, and I’m not tryin’ to be Ugly…you live around some Crazy People!!!! 🙂
the things your neighbors get rid of just amaze me…
I wish I had Crazy Neighbors like yours, LOL 🙂
well, a girl can dream 🙂
White pumpkins are the way to go if orange doesn’t work. That turned out great! Looks like we both were crafting with white pumpkins – I did a post yesterday 🙂

Rhoda,
I think it looks great!!! How simple.
Seeing your fall decorating really inspires me to do something different this year. You have wonderful creative ideas- Your white pumpkins are cute! Using what you have on hand and thinking outside the box- using colors like black and white and natural items turned out so nice.
Appreciate you sharing, Karen
Happy fall Rhoda. You have some beautiful fall decorations. I never thought about white pumpkins. What great ideas you have.
I love the white pumpkins! Are you going to join my pumpkin party?
I love how you added the star fish for color. Also how you said you bought the urn years ago at a yard sale for $5~~funny how you haven’t forgotten the price of any of your treasures!!
Rhoda,
I am in LOVE with that Urn! The edge is AMAZING! Never seen one like that. And I can’t believe you got it for $5.00!
The crisp, white starfish on top of all those rough, dark pinecones creates quite a lovely mixture of texture and contrast. Love it!
Can’t wait to “hang out” in October!

Love it, Love it!
You’ve got the touch.
I am all about white pumpkins this year. Love those!
Hi Rhoda, love the display!
I just wanted to comment on the metal or cast iron leaf you have on the easel, I have that same leaf! My husband lucked up on our’s at a yard sale last year for 50 cents! Mine had been painted red though many years before, great old paint on it. He bought it to sell in one of our booths but that was one thing I just had to keep for myself, never seen another one until seeing yours just now.

It looks beautiful! The Son and I are going to be working on some Halloween decorations today. I’m getting so excited!
Good Morning Rhoda,
Looks like Fall has arrived at your house.
Nice post,
Kathy 🙂
Hi Rhoda
I love your fall decor. I’m going to copy your idea(hope you don’t mind) and paint some pumpkins white. I don’t really like fall colors so I never do much except buy a pumpkin, but now you’ve inspired me!
I like the way you are always changing the photos in your header too
Hugs, Rhondi
Oh Rhoda. I just can't help but smile every single time I look at your blog 🙂
White pumpkins and b&w damask, such a beautiful combination!
I wish I could say Happy Fall, Y’All and be taken seriously saying it, lol. Being from Michigan, I just don’t think my nasal twang would have the same effect as you or Paula Deen 🙂
I love the whole display, Rhoda,it’s just gorgeous 🙂 I saw a black candlestick like the ones you have there, yesterday at HomeGoods. I did not buy it because I wanted 3 or 4 of them, lol, not one….but I guess I should have bought it in hopes of finding siblings for it another time, in another place. When I go back, it will be gone, lol.

PS: I made a charging table for today’s blog, come by and see it if you have the chance 🙂
What a great job you did on the stencilled pumpkin and the whole display. But then what else would one expect from ‘Southern Hospitality’? : ) Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.
