Welcome To The 90th Masterpiece Monday!


It's time to decorate "Old Rusty" for Fall.  In case you're new to my blog, Old Rusty is my beloved, retired old and rusty fireplace.  I like to decorate him. Here is the way he was decorated all Summer.

And now for the Fall reveal: Do you like the hollow vintage radio? I added some flameless candles to the inside.
I made a garland out of twine, black vinyl and some little plastic trophies. I made the pumpkin candle holder with a picture I found on the Graphics Fairy last year.


I found these cute little ceramic birds on sale somewhere, but I forget where! I think they were from Target's after Fall sale.
I used another flameless candle just to be safe inside my lantern, so I could add some faux bittersweet.


My all purpose chalkboard I got from the dollar store and I glued cork board on the back.
This is a little horn I've had since I was a child that my Grandma gave me. She used to find boxes of really great stuff for Halloween from yard saling. This was one of them.  She taught me how to like yard sales and thrift stores.
My ceramic pumpkins and this star were from GW a while back.
Please just ignore that very lovely looking electrical cord in the foreground.  I kept my candle cage the same, except for the addition of a crow friend.

And here is what it looks like in the evening.

Now if only the weather would hurry up and cool down like Fall, today it is 100 degrees here in So~Cal!
And that's at the beach where it's coolest!

  1. I am guessing 'Old Rusty' has a life of its own. Love the Autumn leaning toward Halloween additions to that old stove. Lots of fun decorating and adding and embellishing. Thanks for hosting. Glad I had something to share this week.
