I love Halloween decorations. You know what I love even more? Autumn decorations that will last through Halloween and Thanksgiving. I won’t have to touch these until the Christmas decorations go up and it’s a good thing because I don’t have time anyway.
We are busy bees at our house lately and I knew we weren’t going to have any fall decorations unless I found something quick and easy. Solution: buy a bunch of gourds. First, to replicate the idea I saw in this pin, I only needed mini pumpkins. I already had the branches and I still have a giant vase from our wedding.
For a second super-easy piece of decor, I picked up a Cinderella pumpkin at the store. Isn’t it cool? I plopped it down in our entryway and here’s hoping it holds up through November! Since I’m not carving it, I think I have a pretty good chance!
Finally, I put some smaller gourds on the ledge shelf above our TV. As a reminder for those of you who live in earthquake country (or those of you who have toddlers), I used Museum Wax to secure the gourds to the shelf so they don’t fall on the TV like I did with the Christmas decor last year.
That’s it! I’m done until December!

Happy Belated Blogaversary! I look forward to popping in to say Hello and visit your phone blog. Have a great weekend!!
Whoops, I did not mean to say phone blog; I meant fun blog. Thanks, again!!
Thanks for visiting Renee! I’m glad you like the centerpiece, it was so easy to put together!
I love the mini-pumpkin centerpiece! So simple, yet makes a statement!
Thanks Danielle! I’m really pleased with how it turned out. And it was cheap!
I love your thinking! I, too, decorate simply for the season to last until the Christmas stuff comes out. Nicely done. 🙂
Visiting from HOH.
Thanks Heidi! I actually still have some other Halloween stuff that hasn’t made it out of the garage yet. Too busy! I like the way this turned out and may just leave the rest in boxes and not bother.
