Happy Labor Day Weekend! I wanted to bring a little Fall into the house, so this will be a Met Monday with some Thrifty Finds! A big THANKS to Susan at
Between Naps on the Porch and Rhoda at
Southern Hospitality for hosting these parties so faithfully and beautifully. Be sure to stop by their sites for some great ideas.


Welcome to the back door. Found this little fall thingey at 90% off last year. I love bringing more reds, oranges, browns, and feathers into the house!

Found this little urn at GW and added a leafy spray I got last year - again 90% off!

Also found this $2 pedestal at GW, spray painted it black - and love it.

Here's my spring/kitchen counter top - lots of greens and blues.

(why didn't I take the dishcloth off the sink?)

Now, I'm not sure yet, but I'm experimenting with the reds, etc. Maybe this?

Or this?

Or this?

Or this?

Anyway, it's a continuing progress. I'll figure it out soon ????###!!!!
Have a great Sunday and Monday. Be sure to stop by
Susan's and
Rhoda's.
Blessings to you! Linda

Salut mon amie!! C'est moi la première! J'adore tout ce que tu as fait pour décorer en préparation pour l'automne! Je n'ai pas vu le truc noir avec les pommes. Mignon! Je préfère le look de l'assiette et les livres, je crois, mais tous les looks sont beaux! J'espère que tu passes un bon weekend!...Debbie
Oh I love all of it. The colors and the feathers. Such wonderful finds, and you have them displayed so beautifully. I think all of the kitchen counter displays are perfect. Great job. Hugs, Marty
I like the last one with the plate and stacked books. But all are pretty.

I love the idea of painting the pedestal bowl black. GW is having 1/2 off tomorrow, I think I will go and look for one!
All of the fall counterscapes (my new word!) look great!

Hi Linda,
Very pretty indeed! I love your kitchen and they all look nice, maybe you'll just have to change it every week! hehe. Great finds too! hugs, Cindy
Don't you just love an awesome bargain! They're beautiful! Love the red in the kitchen too! ☺ Diane
You do have an eye for artfully combining a bargains with style. Thanks for sharing the inspiration with us.
I do LOVE red accents in any room. Well done!!
GOTTA be the first one! Love it!!
tu parles francais? where are you from?
You did great for 90% off and you got some very pretty things. Your dish cloth on the sink - thats real life. :-)
I like them all, Linda, but I like the last picture the best for the counter. I really like fall colors, so warm...Christine
I love that black bowl!
Love all the Goodwill finds! The red accents are so eye catching I really like them!
Great deals! Love your fall decorations. I like the look in the last photo best.

What a great fall look! I love the black pedestal bowl. You will find lots of uses for it, I am sure.
Thanks for sharing and have a great Monday.

Add me to the "like the last one" list. Lovely! I have been looking for a container like yours with the apples since you originally posted it. Love it!
Nice...I like all those warm colors. I also like the way you painted that apple holder black--so nice.
oops my met post is found at my spindlecottage.blogspot.com
I like your fall decorations and your thrifty shopping!! I too like the last picture the best for your kitchen counter. Love the fall colors!
I love touches of red. Your last picture would be nmy vote. The books witht the candle and the plate --- looks great!

Thanks for your advice on my corner shelving area--I was thinking the same thing. It needed some color and less collections. I am working on it. I also moved the big arrangement off of the table. I put some punches of orange in the shelving area--still working on it....If I get it more to my liking I will post pics ;-)
(Hey if you change your comment settings to "anyone" you can allow direct links to individual blogs--I may have told you this--

It all looks beautiful and SO Fall! The black fruit bowl really caught my eye. You are good clear through until December! Good JOB! :)
I like the counter vignette where you have used the books to add height to your plate. I have two possible suggestions- perhaps use a shorter candlestick so it wouldn't block the front of your pretty plate and add another small item (silver cup, one dried flower, or some other kind of small chotsky) to make an odd number of items. I think it could only enhance what you have already done. Like the reds paired against the green.
Your finds of the urn and the pedestal bowl are nicely accented with the flowers and the apples, respectively. Nice GW finds- ours seems to have nice things only once in a blue moon...LOL

Its me again. I made some changes to the table and the shelving and added them to the bottom of the post. see here:

I really like the 2nd one with the fruit in the glass canister. Just lovely, but they are all very nice.
What great thrifty finds! I love the vignette in the last photo.
Thanks so much for the sweet comment on my blog!
Love...Love...Love your blog! You are so creative and talented. I'll be following your creativity.
I like the last one, too, but agree that the candlestick hides the pretty picture. Love the black pedestal bowl with the apples.
Coucou!! Je passe chez toi pour regarder les petites boîtes!! Merci! Merci!!!!!!
Hi Linda, I agree with Debbie...love the last one with the books best...but truly they are all beautiful! You always find the best deals...beautiful Autumn decor! :-)
