French Farmhouse Fall Decorating......

Hello Everyone....

I wanted to share a few images (actually a lot of images) I shot yesterday.....

Almost two years ago, I shared an image of a vintage french zinc bucket filled with branches....

I thought it would be okay to show again....

Filling a bucket with branches is one of my favorite things to do for fall....

Sometimes that is the only thing I will do for fall decorating along with scattering a few pumpkins around the house.

I also love to set pears around the house, sometimes scattered or displayed in an ironstone dish.....

They add so much color to your home, and you get to eat your decorations.....

You can see a couple of my Fall decorating posts using pears  here and here......

The kids and I found these branches at a flower market in San Francisco....

I was so excited to find branches....
I usually just cut my own branches however the leaves haven't changed color here yet....
We are still waiting for cold weather : )

(At the bottom of the post you will see what other fall foliage we found at the market as well)

The porcelain topped canning jars are a favorite of mine....

I hope I never get sick of these....

I have a few of these available in the shop....

I try to buy these whenever I find one, and I don't find them very often....

This vintage french zinc bucket will make it's way in the shop soon.....

I hung these branches with berries from the door....

We also found these at the flower market.

I haven't ever seen these before, I was told they come from the East Coast, and are Bittersweet branches, thank you Lara : )

(Lara has a beautiful blog called Air Kissed)

On another note.....

I wanted to show you an easy way to disguise an apple cider label....

I had also shown this two years ago on my blog, I thought it would be fun to photograph it again...

I just wrap a vintage french linen towel around the jug and tie some jute twine around the towel to hold it in place....

My favorite apple cider is 365 Organic Apple Juice...

I use it to make hot apple cider.....

You can find the recipe here.......

Then just tuck in some of your favorite fall foliage......

*********************************

I  also wanted to share an image from my phone of the variety of fall foliage the kids and I found at the flower market in San Francisco....

They had so much beautiful fall foliage we definitely didn't leave empty handed....

How do you like to decorate for fall?

On a final note....

If you are in Santa Barbara County area this weekend,
