I looked in all the stores for a fun fall votive holder and came home disappointed. Walked into the livingroom and saw this amber owl I found thrifting for 89¢. We have a winner!
My tutorial for these cute Yo-Yo Pumpkins can be found here. The acorn is a glass Christmas ornament.
This just makes me smile:@)
And of course the tiered tray is available to serve food for any function that comes up.
I have two Williams-Sonoma tips to share:
- If you're e-mailed a great buy don't hesitate to call your local store, if they have plenty in stock there's a chance they'll honor the sale price saving you shipping. I put it on hold and picked it up after work the next day. Worst case scenario, they say they can't do it.
- Always give them your e-mail address when they ask for it at the register, even if you're already signed up. It puts you on a more "frequent buyer" list with better specials.
I LOVE the tiered tray, Lynn! The votive and pumpkins are darling...you are all set for fall in your kitchen!

Great looking piece, Lynn. I hadn't seen this at WS. Love the fall touches, especially that darling owl for the candle. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteCute centerpiece. I really like the tiered server. You can do so much with a piece like that! I am not quite there with my autumn preparations....I still have another couple of summer tablescapes I want to enjoy before fall.
ReplyDeleteThat tray is awesome and I love how you have decorated it for fall! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteVery pretty piece!
ReplyDeleteLove your autumn centerpiece, the owl is a hoot ;-) I am getting there but no signs of fall are out yet. xo
ReplyDeleteI love your tiered tray and your thrifty owl!!!
ReplyDeleteI do love it too! I remember those cutie pumpkins. Earl is gonna be jealous of miz owl.
ReplyDeleteOOO, is it time already to put out fall stuff.? Guess it is, altho it was in the 90's here today. :(
ReplyDeleteI love your tiered centerpiece. It is all sooo pretty.
O, and so sorry about the eating of your string beans. :(
You are ready for fall and I'm sooo not. Good on you and I love what the pumpkins and the owl. I always need a shove out of summer. Thanks for the tips on WS too.

Hi Lynnie! Oh, this make me smile too! I love it.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia :)
I really like your center piece, it is easy to look at with not a lot going on. Your thrifted owl is my favorite but those pumpkins are 'sew' sweet too! - Thanks for the hints too. xo
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot, Lynn! The little owl is precious. He brings just the right amount of shimmer along with the berries. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! I cant believe that fall is so close! I love the owl!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful - fall is my favorite time of year - and I am ready. Sandie
ReplyDeleteI like that it has sides to it. Good tip about the email and stores. It is the way of the future in shopping for sure. It is basically free advertising for the company and they can pass on the deals to the customer.
ReplyDeleteEven better, wait till it is at the outlet and on sale!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, but it is a beautiful summer day here, and I am not doing Fall for a few more weeks.
Enjoy your find!
I have been waiting for the galvanized version to go on sale at the outlet. I am waiting them out, cause I am not paying 40 bucks!
Love Love Love the 3 tiered ceramic trays and the owl is cute as all get out!
ReplyDeleteThe owl just makes me smile! It's so perfect for a votive and at 69 cents, what a deal. Glad you got a deal from WS, too!!
ReplyDeleteYou got the jump on fall. I just love the colors and simplicity of it. You are quite talented at decorating.
ReplyDeleteAdorable Lynn! I love your owl surrounded by pumpkins and that two tier server is so versatile! I couldn't resist the one day sale at WS either :)
ReplyDeleteLynn, I love this new piece. You will find so many uses for it! Your pumpkins are adorable too. Joni
ReplyDeleteThat owl is precious! We're both thinking of Fall, my friend! Now I'm off to see if I can figure out how to make those pumpkins! I love them!
ReplyDeleteLove it. All those Fall colors are making me feel happy. I will be posting tomorrow about some sale items I purchased at Sur la table.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Fall is my favorite time of the year.
ReplyDeleteI love your festive fall in that fabulous 2 tiered WS tray!I wish I would have paid attention to that WS e-mail because I would have gotten one of these trays too! Yours looks so beautiful. Thanks you for joining TUTORIAL TIPS AND TIDBITS with your fall inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm off to see your pumpkin tutorial!
I love your tiered tray! It's versatile piece and I love how you have it decorated for Fall.
ReplyDeleteHI! I love your new 2 tiered server! I also love that owl votive and the pumpkins. I want so bad to decorate for Fall but have to wait til we get in the NEW HOUSE at the end of this month! Have a GREAT holiday weekend. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteLynn, these little pumpkins are so adorable! I must have missed seeing them last year. Must get to the fabric store to find me some cute prints cuz I need to make me some. Your centerpiece is so cute. I'll have to be a copycat when I make these and use my three tiered metal tray from Lowes. I don't have an owl, so an amber votive will have to do.... :-) Sue
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable!!!
