Falling Leaves & a Rustic Centerpiece

September 26, 2012  Fall | Tablescapes

Rustic Fall Centerpiece - this is gorgeous and so unique!  kellyelko.com

The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

Remember Chicken Little?

That confused little chick who thought the world was coming to an end.

Poor girl was foolish enough to follow the crowd.

What does this have to do with fall centerpieces you may be asking yourself?

I mean, would you trust someone named Cocky Locky?

But you know the ending of this story isn’t a happy one.

After watching her friends, including Henny Penny, get gobbled up by that foxy family,

she fled back home never to be heard from again.

I hear that just the rustle of leaves gives her nightmares nowadays.

By the way, I got those cute leaves from the dollar store and the “tablecloth” is actually netting used by landscapers!

I think Foxy Loxy would approve.

    Love the rustic look of your table decorations
    Is that real bittersweet branches? Love the bittersweet for fall.
    Tip in using the real bittersweet as decoration:…… spray heavily with an inexpensive hair spray before adding the branches to arrangements. The hair spray will hold the berries in place longer.

    Landscaping netting tablecloth…… I believe that is a first, and I like it. No I would not trust anyone named Cocky Locky.

    Chicken Little! Oh how I just loved that story when I was little … forgot all those sordid gobbled up by the fox details though! Loving the centerpiece and dollar store leaves. Perfect touch of autumn …

    I only vaguely remember this storyline. I really think Chicken Little was a guy though.

    I the queen of “junque” totally approve. What a cue idea to have the Leaves hanging from the Chandelier! This is my kind of decorating. Quick and makes a statement.

    Hi there- I love the old tool box – you’ve inspired me to go and get somethings out and do a little decorating (even though we are still hip deep in bathroom renovations). I can still make a pretty spot in the middle of the chaos, right?!
