The fall decorating continues. . .
in between volleyball games (the season is almost over!),
getting ready for a slumber party Friday night (Anna Belle turned 11 on Tuesday!),
delivering the dog to the vet (she is well overdue on her shots and a good bath!)
and life in general.
So, here is a tabletop in my kitchen.
“Natural and Thrifty” continues to be the theme.
I like Walmart as much as the next girl.
They are usually pretty cheap.
You can get everything that you need in one place.
They have good quality products.
I never think to myself, “I would love to get a great, new, fabulous ribbon that I have never seen anywhere else before. A ribbon that would have endless decorating possibilities. I should head on over to Walmart to find what I am looking for.”
So, you can imagine my surprise when I was rushing down on of the aisles, and I saw this!
Proflora Moss Ribbon
Yes, moss in ribbon form!
(I forgot to take a picture, and it is entirely too late for me to break out the camera!)
You will just have to see this amazing stuff in action.
Notice it wrapped around the $1 wicker vase.
Do you realize the possibilities that this amazing ribbon holds?!
I bought 2 rolls.
My wheels are spinning with how I plan to use it for the holidays.
Be sure that you will see this stuff in action all over my house for the holidays!
Way to go Walmart!
If anyone can think of anything amazing to do with this ribbon, please share!
Back to the table.
I love the warmth that pottery provides.
And, the kitchen scale is one of my greatest yard sale finds yet!
You can read more about it here.
Of course the brass theme continues.
The candlestick was $1.
I love to stack a lamp of some books.
It makes the lamp have a much better “presence” on the table.
Some girls love shoes, some love purses; I am a lamp girl.
The lantern was less than $1.
I have had the wreath for several years, and I still love it!
You can see how this area was decorated before this fall transformation here.
I have no plans this weekend other than to keep up with my girls.
Slumber party Friday night.
Volleyball tournament that begins at 9:30 on Saturday morning.
One soccer game at 11:45.
The next soccer game at 1:00.
Back out to the volleyball tournament.
Potluck meal after church on Sunday.
Come home and get some sleep after that!
Blessing upon blessing.
Life is good!
Maybe I will sneak in a little decorating here and there?
Life to the full,
Melissa

Nice decorations! Good find at WalMart….I hardly ever go there. You are doing a great job on your natural and thrifty fall decor! Can’t wait to see what you do for Christmas!
It looks so pretty, Melissa! I’ve never seen moss ribbon either and I like the way you’ve used it here. Love that little pumpkin on the little urn ~ that is too cute. Sounds like you have a busy weekend! We’re laying flooring in our sunroom ~ fun. : )
Looks fantastic!!
Beautiful vignette! Love the layers!
What a special vignette. So homey and comfortable.
Another gorgeous display. You really have the best stuff and such a great eye to assemble it all!

I love your vignette and the natural feel. I have yet to do much. It was 108 here today. I just cannot get the bins out in this heat. I would die in that garage. Walmart huh? I have to get over there.
Visiting from the SNS Link Party… Love your vignette! And that kitchen scale is terrific! So wish I had one like that! Beautiful job!
Nicely done. Love the vintage scale.
Looks great.
Oh that wreath is gorgeous! And I’m having mega envy over your scale! Thank you for joining our Countdown to Fall Party!
Love that ribbon. Your vignette is just wonderful, so full of texture.
Sandy

So cute!Love the scale..and that is really cute how you displayed the wreath. Thanks for joining me.
Looked at several of your fall posts and your decor is gorgeous! Want to come to NC and do mine? You must have some awesome thrift and garage sales. Do you have a Facebook page to link your blog to? I couldn’t find a place to follow you on your sidebar. Thanks.
Love all of your decor. The colors and textures are beautiful! Thanks for sharing
Loving your vignette, and the scale, I’ve found several at garage sales, and can’t get enough of them. Your scales color is prefect. I never go to Walmart, but might for that moss ribbon? wow how cool is that! A very lovely vignette, also love the picture of your girls in the middle! Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!
wow you got a busy schedule ahead of you,your Fall decor looks great.
I saw you at BoogieBoard cottage.
I love your fall vignette! And thanks for sharing the moss ribbon – it’s cute.

Very cute! I saw that moss ribbon somewhere and my mind was spinning as to what I would do with it. I didn’t come up with an idea quick enough so I passed! Yours looks great on the wicker piece! I like that lantern a lot too! Fun Vignette!
Melissa, I love how you’ve brought some fall into your vignette with such great colors. That chippy scale is so perfect, and I always like a stack of books used for a pedestal.
Mary Alice
Your vignette is charming! I always appreciate the inspiration you share at Potpourri Friday!
Would love to have you come and share these beautiful fall decorations at my Pumpkin Linky Party. Just lovely. Thanks, Linda

Beautiful vignette … gotta love Wal-Mart (great ribbon, indeed)!
This is so charming! I love the scale with the pumpkin. Great idea.
What a beautiful vignette. I love all of the details, but my fav is the moss ribbon applied to the wicker bottle. Great job. Happy Fall.
I love the natural look. (I really love that birdcage canvas too!) I would love it if you would stop by and share at Lines Across. I hope to see you soon,
Rachel

Love the vignette! I was drawn to it immediately because I used books and scales in my Fall decor last year. I’m bringing it back out this year too! It’s just “right”!
I’m following your blog now too 🙂
This is just beautiful. I love all of the natural elements and the texture it brings to the table. Beautiful. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Such a beautiful display! Love it! Thank you for sharing this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Hope to see your prettiness again on Monday. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
Oh my goodness, how darling. Thanks so much for sharing this on Fabulous Friday at Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust.
Warmly, Michelle
Hi Melissa, your display is just so pretty…love all the details…thank you so much for taking the time to share …xo
All of your details are so well pulled together – I especially love how you layered everything on the wall.
Take care, Laura
I featured this today on Mod Mix Monday!
I just found your blog through Under the Table and Dreaming. I hope I can persuade you to come share on my Blog Fest: http://fresh-eggs-daily.blogspot.com/2012/09/farm-girl-friday-blog-fest-2.html
Very pretty! I really like the wreath. I hope I might be so lucky as to find some of that moss ribbon at one of my Walmarts. Walmart has truly surprised me many times, especially with their seasonal things. I have picked up wonderful dishes a couple of times, and they have a great selection of those “Scentsy” knock-off wax burners and wax blocks in some great flavors! Here’s to continued good fun with Fall decor!
