As much as I love seasonal decorating, I have to be careful not to do too much too soon or it will drive me crazy. I am slowly putting summer away and bringing Fall into focus.
Do you have a lantern, maybe on your porch or patio? They look so great full of anything. Fill it full of dried or real fruit, vegetables, pumpkins or gourds, and even though this is not a new idea, yours will be unique with your things and touches. If you don’t have a lantern, use a tray or a large vase, compote or bowl. The key here is texture and color. Late September to me is muted tones, creams, browns, yellows and soft greens and just a hint of orange. I like to save orange for Halloween~
Burlap is a decorator’s best friend right now. It is available in so many forms and colors and it instantly adds a fall feel and an on trend touch.
I cut a length of burlap ribbon and tied a loose half knot through the ring on top of this lantern and tucked a length of pumpkin ribbon through the center. I let both ribbons hang down and wind through the pieces spilling out of the lantern
Fall abundance? Opening your door to Fall? Surely there is a deep heavy message here!
Wait, what’s that? Let’s take a closer look~
You never know what’s going to fly in when you leave your door open! Come back soon and I’ll show you how easy it is to make a cute little burlap owl!

Clever idea! The use of your lantern with the fall pieces tumbling out on the table is beautiful. The little owl adds a whimsical accent! Thanks for sharing!

Looks great … giving me good ideas … have some bird cages that I can use, but the lantern would look much better.

What a pretty vignette! love the muted colors and how you used the tall lantern as a focal point of your vignette…beautifully done! And the little burlap owl is absolutely adorable:) Thanks for the inspiration! Happy weekend! hugs, Poppy
Thanks Poppy!
Gorgeous! Love the lantern, the pumpkins, everything…
Thanks Bev!
Love your lantern centerpiece Jenna! I need to break out my burlap ribbon and your owl creation is too cute 🙂
Love your vignette, that owl is too cute!
I will use this idea of filling a lantern – your arrangement on the glass table looks great and that owl is adorable.
I love the textures and colors of your centerpiece! I wish I had a large lantern! I have several small ones, but you really need a larger scale for gourds and pumpkins. I enjoyed the colors you used, too!

The owl is so adorable. This is the first year I got an owl decoration for the house. I also put my pumpkins and mums outside. I love decorating for the fall!
Thanks Tammy, my first year to use an owl too! They seem to be everywhere this year~
Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization?
I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success.
If you know of any please share. Cheers!
