I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

This year, I bought a few new things for Fall.........

You may remember the post I did on how I "dabbled" a bit with this $2.00 Flea market find......
Click HERE if you missed it.......

I mentioned in that post that I was going to add a bit more leaves and maybe some pumpkins and acorns around the base of this Dapper Looking Gentleman.......
You can see that I did just that!!!

A leaf to his hat.......
A few to his outfit......
And some pumpkins, leaves and acorns to his feet!!
You can see he earned a place of honor in the "Pumpkin Patch", overseeing the whole thing from his lofty perch!!
Here he is on top of a wicker stool in the corner of the "Patch"......
A lot of pumpkins are in the "Patch".....
 Sitting on a turned over gold pot is an embellished velvet pumpkin........
You may remember this red wagon that I bought in the Summer for $10......
Here it is in the "Patch".....
 Filled with pumpkins, gourdes and even a pine cone.....
Sitting in front of the red wagon is a cute Bearington Bear dressed in a pumpkin outfit!!!!
 Back by the Tree is a cute squirrel and a battery operated lighted acorn.......
  Both were bought at Big Lot's....
  Another sweet Bearington Bear dressed in an orange dress with a pumpkin on it......
 In the front of the "Pumpkin Patch".....
 More pumpkins, leaves, gourdes, Indian Corn and even a Mallard Duck!!!
 Looking over at the right side of the "Pumpkin Patch".....
You may remember that Joe got this picture for FREE when one of the stores that was damaged by the Tornado that hit the Shopping Center right next to our development held a Tent Sale and gave things away on the last day before the building was demolished.......
I then turned that picture in to this........
Click HERE if you missed that post.......

Here is where I decided to display it.......
It fits perfectly under my curtains on the Living Room window.......
Yo may also remember this cute red truck that I bought for $10 also at the same post Tornado sale.......
Here it is in the "Pumpkin Patch".........
I have filled it with pumpkins, gourdes and pine cones........
You can see that I have a cute Bearington Bear driving the red truck!!!
More pumpkins and leaves are scattered about......
To the side of the picture is another velvet pumpkin on top of am over turned gold pot......
  I just bought the orange glass vase at Dollar Tree and have an arrangement of Dollar Tree leaves and an orange LED lit branch........

After I took these photos I found this cute scarecrow so I sat him down in front of the vase of leaves.....
 I also wanted to share what I did with this Flea Market find that I bought in the Summer........
 I added a few more leaves to this sweet Autumn Angel's dress......
 An acorn was added in the middle of the bow....
 Here is where I decided to display her......
 She has battery operated gold LED lights woven through out her dress......
 I could not resist buying her because she was such a rare find!!
 So this is the "Pumpkin Patch" for this year.......
In a future post, I will be sharing how my Autumn Tree and the "Pumpkin Patch" underneath it looks all lit up in the Evening......
I hoped you enjoyed seeing this corner of our Living Room all decked out for Fall......
As I mentioned, Fall is my favorite Season of the Year.......

In my next post, I will be sharing how I decorated our Kitchen for Fall with a touch of Halloween......
 And a few new things that I made and embellished a bit for the Kitchen this Season.......
 So I hope you will be back to visit again soon.......

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

    My goodness what a feast for the eyes. I had to scroll up and down a few times to take it all in. Your Autumn decor is a delight.
