I can't show you ALL around right now because the dogs have kinda taken over this area:):) BUT, I thought I would show you some of the things I love down here. Many years ago I decided I wanted to start collecting things that had a "south western" look and feel. I went to MANY good, juried craft fairs to collect alot of the items I will show you. This is the hallway when you come down the stairs and turn right.</div> This is the back of the hallway, behind the fireplace in the family room. I will show you the vignette on the table and the things that hang on the walls.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwaRSZ__TTGB-MO6Q7Ma0vVY2__s3a7-3vZBubGEbyIMY1Gm1zTxJDQ7VtR5GnYHm9t4LTEDWP36gG40k1yrftzQHrWxpRriP88CgEZxkbjYpY6VUC64tQw16dE8igl_BPlGMCCDJi2lLE/s1600/IMG_0186.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwaRSZ__TTGB-MO6Q7Ma0vVY2__s3a7-3vZBubGEbyIMY1Gm1zTxJDQ7VtR5GnYHm9t4LTEDWP36gG40k1yrftzQHrWxpRriP88CgEZxkbjYpY6VUC64tQw16dE8igl_BPlGMCCDJi2lLE/s640/IMG_0186.JPG" uda="true" width="640" /></a></div> I actully found these ceramic pieces in 2 different shops!

~~~The Falling Leaves Table~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">HI everyone! I hope you are having a great Sunday. Our daughter and SIL are coming and our best friends and are all staying for dinner. So, I decided to set a pretty table for them! I seem to have a "leaves" theme going which is very appropriate since they are FALLING like crazy outside now. I kept my everyday runner on the table and just added brown placemats, my everyday brown dinner plate, the salad plate from Walmart last year, and the everyday soup bowl. Black bean soup is on the menu tonight! Some of these pictures got cut off, so click on any one to see it better. Not sure why that happened...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9E_0Tf1fNUFsLkSmilyHWkso_lrkOaUcxj4ZVOoV2SZSSgcURa1gIVEWpMxpZMHXTS8c-xABW82uPH1A-g0ratreTFWTJ9-PqPpevix798oiNl6n3FpBizWU8cMpwA7XgOOH5dpdIh-_c/s1600/IMG_9209.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9E_0Tf1fNUFsLkSmilyHWkso_lrkOaUcxj4ZVOoV2SZSSgcURa1gIVEWpMxpZMHXTS8c-xABW82uPH1A-g0ratreTFWTJ9-PqPpevix798oiNl6n3FpBizWU8cMpwA7XgOOH5dpdIh-_c/s640/IMG_9209.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The leaf napkin is folded simply to show the design.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjirr0gvBO2EDxlw95rvxFR2UKZfgwisn1tXfGc4s7oPq0qCSAukIxCa45NT6YHxv-8jXP1G3kFwwOVZ4HYp64UPF_lYkCfMLoevVDpfJIAd29P2h66tSFxOMLRzlRjUC8HIqRtTxdJ41BK/s1600/IMG_9210.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjirr0gvBO2EDxlw95rvxFR2UKZfgwisn1tXfGc4s7oPq0qCSAukIxCa45NT6YHxv-8jXP1G3kFwwOVZ4HYp64UPF_lYkCfMLoevVDpfJIAd29P2h66tSFxOMLRzlRjUC8HIqRtTxdJ41BK/s640/IMG_9210.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> S and P on a leaf plate.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4jOhKHti4SJ-8Trh0m-18hcoL1UrDC9otbPWLDr6xTRId2nbLf4QH_9p0sfVt7DUDViSYxpX-46sDlZfH5bLH8IfjLRE8pTtMwJ3scBL2CtFNIJAMPo9heJ9c9M50KCfH6JbSGiAlZFip/s1600/IMG_9211.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4jOhKHti4SJ-8Trh0m-18hcoL1UrDC9otbPWLDr6xTRId2nbLf4QH_9p0sfVt7DUDViSYxpX-46sDlZfH5bLH8IfjLRE8pTtMwJ3scBL2CtFNIJAMPo9heJ9c9M50KCfH6JbSGiAlZFip/s640/IMG_9211.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I love to use my brown bamboo flatware in the Fall.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYxgo_0pfSoRSKE1B-Hkyj0Mmw3NbJcmBSyR8xE7uHAbh4cnJ_TLsLnb-Et1M1VQR6wM_EGwbj6kVrItUeUchZod02wIOBJ2pqdiGY-Z4N7r_YGeL1AHljhOLRhgUaYBChB-gkseFgLk55/s1600/IMG_9212.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYxgo_0pfSoRSKE1B-Hkyj0Mmw3NbJcmBSyR8xE7uHAbh4cnJ_TLsLnb-Et1M1VQR6wM_EGwbj6kVrItUeUchZod02wIOBJ2pqdiGY-Z4N7r_YGeL1AHljhOLRhgUaYBChB-gkseFgLk55/s640/IMG_9212.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I found a bag of these faux acorns at Michaels the other day on sale so scooped them right up.
