Tweaking... Fall Home Tour Part Two

Gracious me...

where to start with Part Two of my Fall Home Tour?

With the rustic toy truck is as good a place as any...

Not to leave the guys of the household out of the mix of Fall,

I rescued one of my sons old toy trucks

long ago forgotten out in the yard,

and filled it with sweet little pumpkins.

If you follow my blog,

you'll recognize many of the seasonal vignettes and pumpkins in this post

 as projects from the last few months.

They have all received a little tweaking.

Not to be confused with twerking...

I'm way too old for that!  ;)

I seem to continually be making adjustments.

I actually looked up the definition of tweaking.

One source referred to it as a compulsive behavior.

Which led me to look up the word compulsive...

defined as... relating to an irresistible urge.

So maybe they're onto something...

I cannot seem to stop!

The metal basket filled with pumpkins and gourds was first seen in THIS post...

I later added a few ears of rich burgundy Indian Corn,

and moved two of the small pumpkins to rest on the molding ledge over the window.

The sweet little owl shakers were a Dollar General find.

The antique McCray Icebox is one of my favored areas to decorate.

You can see more of it HERE.

The Vintage Doorknob Pumpkins were one of my two favorite 

projects for this season.

To add a seasonal touch to the Bromeliad that sits on the old butcher block, 

straw was stuffed into the planter and paired with a little chicken wire pumpkin,

a gift from Target from my daughter.

{The Bromeliad was a surprise from Mr. Ramblings...

that man is a keeper!}

About mid-September, I transitioned the mantel to Fall.

 ...click HERE for the original post.

When I first put the mantel scene together, it was missing something.

I found the bundle of wheat straw on a recent trip to The Depot at Gibson Mill,

one of my most revered junkin' spots, in Charlotte, NC.

When I spotted the wheat straw bundle,

I knew it would be an unique and unexpected addition to the mantel'scape.

Unusual pumpkins, placed on the hearth, 

were found during a visit to the local pumpkin patch.

...more on that later!

The dining room has, so far, escaped tweaking...

{Original POST}

...with the exception of a green pumpkin nestled in straw, in a vintage cut glass piece.

I love these pumpkins... so ugly, they're cute!

Cart in the Dining Room...

My other favorite project of the season,

was the blingy toile pumpkin, below.

{Tutorial HERE}

My daughter hand-wrote the beautiful verse below...

The vignette was tweaked by adding the framed verse,

 and a vintage pewter tray to anchor the pumpkin.

I've moved onto the outside fall decor for now,

and am trying desperately to leave things on the inside as are! 

...until Thanksgiving, that is!

As an incessant tweaker... I confess, that's hard!  ;)

I'm a little behind schedule with my fall outdoor scene.
But after a rough start,
October has finally turned into a beautiful month.
I'm enjoying the sunshine and cooler temps!

Thanks for joining me for Part Two of my Fall Home Tour.
