Pumpkins and Crows: Fun with Fakes

Hello friends!

This is the first year in forever that I haven't purchased any real pumpkins to decorate with outside. Fall crept up on me kind of quickly, and since we spent quite a bit of time up at The Wren's Nest this season, with two more trips to come, I decided that we would not be here enough to enjoy them very much anyway. However, I did decorate inside for Halloween and fall.

Do you have anything that you love to decorate with year after year without ever getting tired of it? For me, something that falls into that category is some fake pumpkins that I have had for probably 20 years purchased at Michael's when I lived in Florida. Really! Every year I use them differently and put them in a different spot, and this way they found their way to a vintage wooden beverage box in my entryway. So I decided to have a bit of photo fun with them.

Here is the original photo...

...and here it is after applying the 

Vintage Photo iPad app...

I also have a group of fake black crows

that I usually place on the front porch.

(I love crows,

especially the real ones 

that prance about in our yard!

They are just so funny to watch.)

Since we have been gone so much,

I decided to perch them in the entryway also,

upon an old mantel that we use as a shelf

above the old bench.

Here is the original photo...

...and here is the one edited, again,

with Vintage Photo...

Today is one of those days that I can say

I'm a fake, and proud of it!!!

What old stuff do you like to bring out each year?

Thanks for coming by!
