Rusty, Crusty & Glam on My Cast Iron Chair

My cast iron chair need a touch of fall and of course "some glam!"

First, it got some pumpkins.

and then I gave it some glam... I love this pic, it just oozes rusty, crusty & glam!

Rusty and crusty.

My 1800's beauty!

A, country, vignette with my vintage, watering can nad mandievella vine entwined.

The white pumpkins were from last years crop...I gave them a little, rub and buff face lift this week.

A giant version, beside our lamp post, got a touch up, too!

This was it's summer look with  a potted, red mandevilla vine..both chair and vine will, soon, be coming inside for the winter. They'll be back to present a new show in the spring!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP

An Autumn Mailbox

This is our, very first, fall in N.C....it's mid Sept. and the only signs, that I can see, are that the summer blooming, crepe myrtles have finished their glorious show! 
It's a bit milder, but still in the high 80's and with a lot less humidity. I know I'm going to miss the incredible views of our beautiful Hudson Valley in autumn, but it's the trade we were ready to sacrifice for a milder winter.

A few weeks ago, I actually had the desire to start some outside changes. I started with our, country, red mailbox.

 

  Rustic burlap was my choice for the great big bow.

Cream colored, silk flowers and fall picks from last years decor create the mailbox swag.

  Fuzzy, lambs ears, burgandy mums and dahlias are sunk in a pot below.

 It all looks like this to passers by....the 1st in the neighborhood to welcome the change of season's!

I added a few fall flowers to the existing chippy wreath....take a look here!

Now, onto finishing my fall mantel post, when it's done I'll invite you back and you'll get a look inside!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP
