I stitched this framed embroidery for my fall/Thanksgiving decor. I found a pumpkin image online that I modified a tad and, using Photoshop, combined it with the *Thankful* word (using the font 2peas Handwritten). I printed it out and traced on muslin fabric with a washable pen. After I stitched, I rinsed out the washable pen and ironed. I don't know how/why but the iron left these (burn???) marks on the fabric. I love how it turned out though because it gives it an aged/stained look. I added the three buttons and matted on a piece of cardboard that I hot-glued into a thrift shop frame (which I painted black and distressed). I love how it turned out. :)
And here is our buffet vignette where I displayed my embroidery along with other fall decor. I do want to swap out the flower art on the wall and the framed button heart on the easel with more fall-ish decor. But this works for now.
I took the three wooden pumpkins from the center of my mantle (which I like my mantel so much more without them - it was looking a tad cluttered) and put them on each end of the shelf. The charger I bought today at Walmart on clearance for $2. I also bought 12 others to use for my tablescape on Thanksgiving. They are so pretty! I'm going to spray them with a matte clear coat to protect them as the paint chipped off the edges of the ones I bought a few years ago for Christmas. :( I layered a tin star in front of the charger and my framed embroidery next to it.
My fall-themed Scentsy warmer and a mini pumpkin under a glass bell jar.
Here's the candle I shared the other day and some floral picks in front of my framed button heart (I have a fall-themed project in mind to replace this with).
So there's some more of my fall/Thanksgiving decor. Thanks for looking!
I love this area! It's so cute! I think the the heart frame is very fitting to the whole area, but I can't wait to see what you have in store :)
