Hurricane Candle with Indian Corn
 |
| Hurricane Candle with Indian Corn |
When I received the October issue of Pottery Barn magazine,(I just love Pottery Barn) I began looking through it. I saw these awesome candle holders. They were comprised of a small plain hurricane top and a base vase that was surrounded by small Indian corn.(They have a large version as well)
I liked the look, but not the price. The medium top hurricane was $39.50, the medium base was $39, and the Indian corn was $19.50 for 6 and they used around two sets of these. I thought, why not recreate one on a smaller budget.

Fall Pumpkin Arrangement

| Fall Pumpkin Arrangement |
Fall is one of my favorite times of the year and a time when I like to make arrangements.
When I began to work on my fall arrangements, I
located some appropriate items that I have had for a few years: some silk
leaves, a ceramic pumpkin, 3 leaf candles, and some acorns. I even found a
plate that might work. What could I do with them?
Fall Florida Arrangement

As I wondered about making a fall Florida arrangement, I thought about the ones I used to make when I lived up North where fall leaves, pumpkins, gourds, and other plant and shrub materials were readily available, both at farm stores and in my own back yard.
I recently purchased two yellow mums from Home Depot that I thought I could use, but I needed something to go with them. So I headed outside to see what I could find in my yard.

Fall Mason Jar Lamp

| Mason Jar Light |
What a cute and versatile little lamp! Just change the ribbon and it will fit into any holiday setting. I like to turn on low energy lamps in the evening to add warmth to our home and this fits the bill.
Here is the tutorial on how to create this Mason jar lamp.
It is a little long, but I tried to be thorough in describing how to create this lamp, including how to re-wire the lamp.

Painted Bottles with Jewelry
 |
| Painted Bottles with Jewelry |
W hen I saw these bottles at Fox Hollow Cottage, I thought they were adorable and I immediately knew what I wanted to do with them. It seems that many of the older bottles have a cloudy film on them that doesn't come clean. I have even tried Clorox in them. Nevertheless, these would work great since they would be painted.
I found two bottles that
would work and then while I was at A. C. Moore, a craft store similar to
Michaels, I found a larger bottle for $1.49. I had a 55% off coupon so 75 cents
was a good deal.
