~ Adding Some Warmth to the Bench ~

While there are lots of changes going on inside the shop, the days are just far too pretty to be inside "all" day long. While walking Miss Scooter I realized the bench as you walk into the shop needed a bit of warmth and character, it looked a tad lonely. The lamp posts have been decorated for a while, you can see that post HERE. Look way in the background you'll see the bench looks lonely.
I added a fall throw, lighter in color so it would show up against the walnut stain of the bench. Adding the lantern was the obvious choice for me. I used the black and cream burlap ribbon on the lamp posts, to tie it together I tied a half bow on top of the lantern. Wrapping the twiggy vine around the lantern gave it a bit more character.



During the holidays I like to use the candles on a timer. With the use of the pumpkins this vignette will take you through Thanksgiving.
I fell in love with the burly twisty grapevine shaped pumpkins, perfect for decorating with outdoors. The weather is only going to enhance it's beauty.

I hope this inspires you to add a bit of warmth to your outdoor decor.
