Fall Baskets

Welcome to the Bountiful Fall Baskets Blog Hop organized by Amber of Follow the Yellow Brick Home.

If you are following the Hop from the beginning, 

then you were just in West Virginia at Panoply where you got to see the beautiful home of my friend Rita- isn't her style great!

Baskets are one of my mainstays throughout the year - adding a little seasonal decor is an easy decor fix.

I love to add flowers to baskets both inside

and outside for a pop of color.

Peaches, pomegranates and blood oranges are just the right colors for a fall display.

My vintage look shopping cart had been in the garden, but I like it in the entry filled with faux pumpkins and real flowers from the garden.

I know very little about flower arranging, but that doesn't keep me from having a bit of fun.

This arrangement began with ornamental cabbage from the garden and a few Mexican sunflowers - I added flowers from Trader Joe's to give it lots of color.

Although I loved it on the dining room table, I like it better in the living room -

it's fun to see how it mimics the colors in the plaid throw on the sofa.

This big metal basket is one of my favorites.

 I began with roses in a glass jar then added leftover greenery and some old twigs I had in the shed.

With the house full of baskets, I got busy outside.

I like using baskets around the garden to add height.

 Nasturtiums are a perfect fall flower for the old cruiser that's hanging out by my shed these days.

Pansies and mums in an old basket sit on a rickety rocker Steve found on the street.

And there, along the fence, is an old chair holding a picnic basket full of mums.

Pansies last nearly year round in that 30 year old grapevine basket.

All the baskets definitely add color to my garden that has been neglected for too long.

And this little visitor seems to like the baskets of flowers.

Now it's time to head to the desert home of Marti at A Stroll Thru Life to see how she is using baskets this fall.

Enjoy the rest of the Bountiful Fall Basket Blog Hop - there is so much inspiration from this wonderful group of bloggers.
