Easy DIY Fall Decor from the Thrift Store

It is Labor Day weekend and for most of us, that means the unofficial start to fall. 

When I spied this brand new hearth or fireplace broom at the thrift store, I knew it would be perfect for a fun and easy fall wall or door decor upcycle.

I found some good quality, faux stems at another thrift store and wired hem onto the handle of the broom.

I love that the hook on the end make it perfect for hanging. the short size means that this works well on a door or a window or wall.

A few other thrifted finds complete this window display--a vintage fall print, a wood acorn bowl, and an orange candle. 

I like that this piece is subtle Halloween due to a broom, but can easily be used all fall. 

I am not a big ribbons and bows kind of a girl, so I added simple, jute tied into a knot.

This fall broom will be for sale at my next pop-up shop and remember to look for fireplace brooms at the thrift store--I see them often

Fresh Finds For Fall

Fall feels are in the air. Ok, it is 90 degrees out for the next week, but I am still seeing signs of autumn--some leaves starting to change, it takes longer for it to heat up outside, and it is getting darker earlier. I have been sourcing vintage and unique home decor items for the pop-up shop with all of the cozy, fall vibes. Here are some of them.

Let's start with this awesome, crocheted, granny square blanket. I love the muted colors. The needlepoint, orange, and blue pillow is beautifully handcrafted.

The black picnic basket is definitely an oldie. I like the wood lid with the round, wood handle. A trick or treat plate holds one of the three rattan pears. a pair of handmade wood candle holders with fall colored candles sit on the picnic basket.

A pottery pumpkin bowl (that looks like carved wood, but is indeed a clay piece and is a bowl even though it looks like a platter in this picture) will make a Halloween great candy dish. The blue creamer repeats the blues in the afghan and pillow and the black pillow is perfect for fall and winter.

The original art that I have curated includes a vintage stitchery, and two watercolors--one of fall trees and one with pumpkins and apples.

I love fall, it is m favorite season, and I look forward to offering these curated items to my customers soon.
