| I found these large faux pumpkins at GW. One was $1.99 cause it was empty, the other was $3.99 cause it had some silk florals in it. I divided the florals between the 2, added some fresh cattails, and some more florals and placed them in the urns that usually hold faux pine trees.
The wreath was $1.06 at another TS and all I had to do was rearrange some of the decor on it. My scarecrow in the corner is yrs old and his burlap clthes had faded and looked very drab so....another trip to GW and some "new" kids overalls and flannel shirt and he looks great again. The whole view. The doormat is new and from a catalog this year.
Happy Fall Y'all. TTFN,

| I love it. I love ALL of it. Candy the Super Shopper has struck again! ;o) You have such a wonderful porch to decorate, I'm very green with envy over it. Including the brickwork. In fact, you'll probably keep me 'green' right thru the first of year. LOL. hugs, Karen |

| What a great find on those large pumpkins, and you did a great job on the arrangements in them. They look wonderful in your urns. Mr. Scarecrow looks quite spiffy in his new duds. Wow! what a collection of pumpkins you have there, they look great too. Luvs |

| Candy, you did a wonderful job on those urns, and your front entry has such a festive and inviting look. I also like the variety of pumpkins and gourds you used in your display. Everything says 'Fall Is Here' ! jane |

| Those urns are so classy looking and what great bargains. Our local thrift stores, hardly have any fall decor. Your entry way is so inviting, I love the variety of pumpkins and squash. Frou |

| OMG, what a lovely Autumn porch! Your neighbors must be so happy to look out and see your house. I really like the new pumpkin floral displays in your urns and am totally blown away by the price you got them for! Are the other veggies real or faux? I'd love to find some faux ones that large, as packrats, rabbits, and even coyotes would eat any real ones I put out on my porch. Lynn |

| Oh the pumpkin urns are beautiful & I agree the tall cattails really add the height you need with the grand front entrance!! |

| That was a great buy! I am surprised they weren't snapped up immediately. They look great on your porch as does your scarecrow! |

| Thank you for the wonderful comments. Everything there is faux except the cattails and the hay bales. The hay bales are years old as are most of the pumpkins/gourds. I bought many of them after the season was over for 80-90% off although 1 or 2 were bought with 50% off coupons in season. My neighbors brought their baby daughter over several years ago and put her in front of the hay and pumpkins and we put some more pumpkins around her for them to take a picture. They said it was cheaper than paying a professional photographer. LOL TTFN, |

| Hey, what a great idea...Fall backdrop for family portraits! ;o) Seriously, its neat your neighbors get to enjoy your decor and I'm sure its such a treat for the children. They will always remember "the house next door" and who knows, you might influence their decorating when they grow up and have families! hugs, Karen |

| VERY cute porch!! I love to ride around and see all of the decorations. I would just have to stop and gawk if I came near your porch!! Thanks for posting, J |

| What a delightful front porch arrangement - your pumpkin urns are exactly what I want to do when I remove the boston ferns in the next week or so. Refurbishing the scarecrow with childrens clothes is a great idea - will tuck that away in the memory bank. And last but not least how cool that your neighbors choose your setting for pictures of their children. TFSing ..... Lynne |
