Crab apples from my backyard tree were picked and de-stemmed to add a little flair to my pumpkin and placed on a stand
Some may call me cheap, I like to think of myself as frugal, or an opportunist to find ways to spend less. as we find ourselves knee deep into fall here, I came to realize I wanted a little more than just pumpkins around my house to celebrate the new season. here are a couple of ideas on how to use nature to spruce up the space a little more.
I have these apples year round on my table but with some pine cones added to them and voila!
I added some leaves under some of my pumpkins to give the fall-y feeling a little more umph. instead of spending tons of cash on more fake pumpkins or on scarecrows, go outside, look around see what you can use and bring it inside for a classy spruce up!
Vanessa is no way in any shape or form a professional decorator, but if you like what you see you can come visit her at V and Co where she rambles on about her kids, decorating, being cheap being frugal, and surviving life without her husband while he serves overseas.




yay v! you have such great ideas…and they are cheap, that's always the best kind.:) way to go girl!
Beautiful, V! I especially love the apples and pinecones in that to-die-for container. I'm looking forward to reading all of your ideas!
