Fall Decor Inspired by Nature

Do you enjoy the beauty of nature? I do. Sometimes, I even find the weeds beautiful.
Bidens connata, also known as purple-stem beggarsticks, an annual weed found in the eastern parts of the U.S. and Canada.
Since I often enjoy using plant material from the property to decorate my home, I thought this purple-stem beggarstick would be a nice addition. So I cut a bunch of it to use in a couple of vintage milk vases on my mantel. I also gathered a bunch of acorns and heated them for a couple of hours in the oven to kill any insects, and placed them in vases with candles. Center stage is a white pumpkin, surrounded by a few pretty gourds. A simple fall mantel decorated with nature.
Enjoyed the project?

Lura (Domesticability) on Oct 30, 2015I love it. I just put out a ceramic pumpkin and called it a day. I'm just not in the spirit this year #tootired.
