Six Word Saturday- fall craftiness

How many memes can me I do in one Saturday??



Fall brings out my creative side!
Lately I've been looking through a Pottery Barn catalog I somehow received in the mail and I'm loving some of the ideas!  Their stuff is Crazy Expensive and I can find way cheaper stuff at other places that either match perfectly or make wonderful supplies to make the imitation myself!  I got these pics from the PB catalog I have, they are not pictures of my imitations, but mine are very similar!!  Some of the models I'm creating after are...





I had some vases just like these left over from our wedding decor, which can be bought at stores like walmart or target for just a few dollars or less and instead of these special (really cool, but kind of expensive) pumpkins I filled mine with fall-colored potpurri which I bought at walmart for just a couple of dollars and it even smells, so it serves the same purpose, plus one!








Found some pumpkins just like these for $2 each at Target, WAY cheaper!!


I'm going to make a fall wreath, like I did for Christmas a few years back.  I'll use a bunch of different materials just like the ones in this wreath, but mine came from Michael's, they have tons of them for a really low price out on the sidewalk reduced, all the time, just jam them together into one of their inexpensive bare wreaths and I'll get some wide ribbon to tie around it to hang it from a door, just like in the tutorial on the beautiful wreath and hanging concept on A Soft Place To Land!!



I love Fall!!


...OK, so apparently only two, after looking all day, that's all I've found, thought I was on a roll for a minute there this morning!  BUT...  If you haven't before, check out A Soft Place to Land... she has Tons of cool ideas like this!  ***Noticed that she has another pumpkin idea too, that's even more creative!!  Great minds :)
Happy Saturday!!!

I love your fall ideas! I used to have some of those clear glass things too and now I'm mad because I think I sold them in a garage sale.
