Please stop by and link up to these wonderful parties!!!

In my previous post, I shared my Autumn Elegance Tree.......
If you missed that post, please click HERE....

I call it this because I decorate the Living Room in an elegant Autumn theme with a lot of glittered items in the traditional Autumn colors.......
I also decorate the area underneath the Tree.......
I call it the "Pumpkin Patch"!!!
When I set up the Tree, I take measures to make it easier for me to convert it over to Christmas from Autumn.........

We set up the Tree on the platform that I use for my Christmas Village........
To disguise the platform, I cover it with a gold Autumn tablecloth.......
You can see it has a leaf design on it.......

I used to have this wagon outside for a few years but several years ago, I gave it a new paint job and decided to use it inside.......
The Harvest Blessing sign is an old baking sheet , spray painted with chalkboard paint......
I then added a whole lot of stuff under the Tree......
Let's start over to the left of the Tree.......
On top of a pedestal........
A floral arrangement in a vase......
There is an orange colored LED lighted branch in this arrangement......
I bought this cute squirrel last year in Big Lots.....
Underneath the pedestal........
Sitting on a bench........
Is a Bearington Bear dressed in a pumpkin outfit!!
Last year, I embellished a lot of my store bought pumpkins......
Click HERE if you would like to see that post......
A pumpkin, an acorn, a gourde and Indian corn sits on the bench with the Bear......
More pumpkins.....
A mallard duck planter that I bought at a yard sale for 25 cents.....
A glittered pumpkin, a velvet pumpkin and a battery operated acorn with a candle in it.......
All bought at Big Lots......
 Tea, anyone??????
 The tea pot is sitting on an orange charger and an Autumn leaf plate.......
Over on the right side.......
The Harvest Blessing sign rest on a filled wagon.......
The back of the wagon is filled with pumpkins and gourdes......
To the right of the wagon.......
A velvet pumpkin rests on top of an over turned planter pot giving it height.........
A candle holder that I could not find a place for sits on the floor next to the platform......
A cute scarecrow.....
Another Bearington Bear sits at the helm of the wagon.....
And another Bearington Bear is standing in front of the wagon......
And that is my Pumpkin Patch under my Autumn Elegance Tree.....
In a future post, I will be sharing how it looks lit up in the evening......
In my next post, I will be showing you my Harvest Village.......
So I hope you will be back to visit again soon.......

    You are amazing. I don't know how you do all you do!!! I also wonder where you store all your décor? I don't have near what you do and have a huge storage area in our basement. Do you have a large basement for storage? Anyway, I am always amazed at your posts. Congrats on all your features!!!!! Have a great weekend.

    Wow Debbie when you do a pumpkin patch you do a PUMPKIN PATCH! I love it, especially that velvet pumpkin. Wonderful job. Thanks for the shout out about being featured, it means a lot. It seems like a lot of peeps lately don't want to share anyone else's posts, or the link parties that are sharing their stuff, so i was feeling pretty crappy bout that til I saw this.....so thank you!
