A Fall Vignette

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Monday!  Hopefully, everyone had a fabulous weekend, although I know that we all had difficult moments yesterday as many of us watched the 9/11 tributes.  I can't believe it's been 10 years ... our thoughts and prayers will continue to go out to all of the families and friends who lost loved ones on that tragic day.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Back to decorating ... I thought I'd share a Fall vignette that sits on the buffet in our great room.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlkwWVL4w-KK7__Se596zLGV8zlBhdwpmxRq2cKdgaIYMQYdAXxriosY6ww7fpO7i53aESYsEBjvowh505eTQruNEKYGvMwe6ejmnNhibMMPGXXoGkHhzX-NqVmW48G0WnSo2rw6Cx1cE/s1600/fallbuffet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlkwWVL4w-KK7__Se596zLGV8zlBhdwpmxRq2cKdgaIYMQYdAXxriosY6ww7fpO7i53aESYsEBjvowh505eTQruNEKYGvMwe6ejmnNhibMMPGXXoGkHhzX-NqVmW48G0WnSo2rw6Cx1cE/s640/fallbuffet.jpg" width="360" /></a></div></div><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I loved decorating it with its new AS Old White chalk paint attire. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisHW-rVMhXmaKs_1HXJS9iUjBm66iLXyWU-LPStqRaIbnzIIO7JjFdV3r-xGnfwdW3YQ67KQuaXAX-aDaYQbif9g7DBuNysiRGhy_BbJ1inE_UeFi9H9yravhvkg6SHgCAAnKX_Gjjn5Q/s1600/Fallbuffetclose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" nba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisHW-rVMhXmaKs_1HXJS9iUjBm66iLXyWU-LPStqRaIbnzIIO7JjFdV3r-xGnfwdW3YQ67KQuaXAX-aDaYQbif9g7DBuNysiRGhy_BbJ1inE_UeFi9H9yravhvkg6SHgCAAnKX_Gjjn5Q/s400/Fallbuffetclose.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Starting on the left ... I raised our lamp up just a smidge by placing it on a small cream pedastal, which now helps to balance the cream in the vignette, as well.  Our initial "B" was on a lamp in the bedroom ... not anymore!  I then added a basket from Michael's, turned it on its side and "spilled" pumpkins, guords, pinecones and leaves from it.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
