Saturday Snippets-Fall Tiered Tray, Candy Corn Footballs and Pumpkins-N-'Penos

I've given my Tiered Tray Centerpiece a few touches of fall by adding some fun seasonal shapes and colors. Pumpkins are a must and a little glittery bling is always a bonus:@) The floral pic in neutrals on top is from Walmart this year, the wheat stem is really fun. I think it goes well with the table topper (that's actually an old curtain from the thrift store years ago, yep).  Acorns are ornaments from my stash and the Le Creuset pie bird is always ready to crow about cooler autumn temperatures, and the apple pies in our near future

Did you see Brach's has Candy Corn in the shape of Footballs this year? My favorite fall candy meets my favorite sport:@) Review: There are three colors, only the lightest one tastes like traditional candy corn. The medium one seems kinda caramel and the brown one, while supposed to be chocolate(?), has a predominant coconut flavor to me.

And finally...
My planters treated me well this summer, successive green bean plantings kept us, and the neighbors, well fed. I just pulled some bean plants and found huge pumpkins for $5 at Walmart, so I tucked one in next to my very happy jalapeno! I'll enjoy the pumpkin through Thanksgiving then have the boys carry it down to the creek and break it for the critters.

Happy early fall everyone, have a great weekend!
