Easy-Peasy Fall Bouquets

When I want to add a touch of fall to any room in my house, I fill a container (think: crock, mason jar, metal pail, tin ice cream maker bucket, basket, whatever) with anything that looks beautiful to me that is growing outside in our fields and pastures. Here are some ideas: crabapple branches, any leaves/branches, grapevines, queen annes lace flowers, cornstalks, cattails, goldenrod, dried grasses, wheat. Whatever is appealing to you, mix n match, place in a container, add a fall ribbon or twine, and scatter leaves or gourds around the base. There you have it, a fall bouquet that looks great and adds a focal point to a room or table top, and the best part: it's free!! Go gather and make one for your own table!! ;)
