The Fall Galvanized Tray

Hey Y'all,
I am still messing with --
My new blog ---as you can tell--

Have you begun adding any Fall decor to your home?
I am beginning to see some friends decorating, and what wonderful talents!
I began our Fall decor  a week or so ago--
And as I was putting out the fall items, I went ahead and incorporated some bits of Halloween--that is early yet, but since I was on a roll, I went ahead--
But , will share most of that later--
As much as I love summer, I am ready for some Fall weather-- to cool down a bit--
Maybe why I am adding in everything at once.

I do love to decorate for Fall-
Well, most anytime of the year really.
But oh my, The smells of spice , cinnamon, and pumpkins are heavenly.
I have a few of those flavors in the warmers now, and I am craving a pumpkin spice cake right about now!

I love "visiting" your blogs , and seeing all of the neat things you have, and how beautifully arranged you have made your homes. Wonderful ideas!!

Today,  I thought I would share One of my favorites that comes  from the kitchen--
So, From my table to yours--
I share---
The galvanized 3 tiered tray--
I love this piece , and did save up to make this purchase--as I usually will not buy things unless on sale--but , this was an exception---
I change it up with the seasons/holidays.

Take a peak of what is inside--

 This was how it began, slowly adding cute little things from here and there--
 In the bottom tray, I found the rooster creamer, which goes great with my usual talbe decor ,when no specific holiday--
And the 2nd tier rooster has the perfect color for fall--but he stays year round--

 The pumpkins are from Hobby Lobby, The 1 store and The 1 General--
Added natural pine cones and spanish moss--

 I love the punch out design from the rooster--that is really a popping design this fall--I added an acorn, fall leaves, and some,burlap as fillers--Slowly, I am adding candy corn--
I will eat it quick if I fill it up --
 Top level , I added a sunflower, another pumpkin from Michael's-
And added a small white pitcher with some fall leaves and berries, and a cute little crow--


I have enjoyed this piece-I think it is a nice addition, that is easy to dress up--and enjoy for years to come--

The last days of summer, bring out the Fall in me--

Hello and Welcome to --
BeautyFiYourLife


What a wonderful summer we have enjoyed and  now in the last days--
It is really hard to believe we are so quickly approaching the Fall season--

I'm excited to see some cooler temperatures however--
So much, that like many of you I'm sure, have begun the Fall decorating-

I'm not one to boast or brag, as I just live a pretty simple life--
I am blessed and thankful for what we have, and take nothing for granted.

I only enjoy, like many of you, decorating our home that we may live, love and,enjoy--
For our own pleasures--
I love the surroundings of beautiful things which inspires me to find ways to decorate without spending so much, but looking as if we did !
Meaning, you can find "nice to the eye" things, that I call "eye candy",  to create a beautiful environment--

I deleted an old blog recently,
Simple Pleasures,
Because I was ready for something new and different--
I surely do not pretend to know it all --
I became certified in interior design many , many years ago--but not always do I go by the book--I go with what we like, and love--
In ways to be affordable and reusable for years to come--
My passion is decorating--especially with vignettes and tablescapes--

I share what I enjoy and love
with others of my own ideas, maybe some inspiration to do in your own home--
And sometimes I may just share inspirational ideas, found by others--

Nothing is wrong in decorating and enjoying beautiful surroundings--Nothing is wrong in,exploring others who share the same interest--

Being talented and,creative in your own way is a gift, sharing how and the how to be smart and budget savvy is a bigger gift --

I hope you enjoy browsing around of what brings a piece of joy to our home--

I would love  to know you visited , be sure to reply a kind word that you came by---

Enjoy your last days of summer, I know I will miss it-- but looking forward to a seasonal change!!

Take a look at what I have been up to so far-


 This Chalkboard is my favorite! I founf the frame at GoodWill-I repainted, had a backing made to fit--painted with chalkboard paint and ----it hangs in the hall to the kitchen--
I change the board message for every season and Holiday--


 I use a cloche by the chalkboard, which changes right along with every chalkboard change--
 To the island we go---another favorite of mine--and a perfect place to add a visual of eye candy--I always have a seasonal vignette in this area on the island-
I love crows and I love pumpkins--
I love trays --and added my old kitchen scale to this scene---and how nice this turned out !!

 Above , there is a pot hanger--Im,working on it now and will share soon the outcome--
Its looking pretty awesome too!


 Another piece I love--
The 3 tier galvanized tray--
I did save up and splurge on this--
But I absolutely love it--and it brings many changes each season--

 Adding pretties by layering makes things interesting--and,find,pretty treasures for pennies makes it all prettier--
I love , love , love tablescapes--and one of my favorite things to do in decorating--
 Look at those cute little owls--
Salt and Pepper and for 2$ they spruce up and add a special touch to a table--


 Adding your own little touches makes your personality shine through--



Chargers and layered plates, with all of the little fixings--



This is too pretty to use--
But, we have a while yet before any holiday gatherings before the needof this table--

What is on your table???

I am sure something yummy!!

Thanks for stopping over, let me know you did:)))

Happy Labor Day
And Happy Fall Y'all--
