I thought I would share a little sneak peek at what Autumn loveliness is going on in the Vintage Amethyst home this October.
As you can see above we have some wonderful gourds on display in the living room. I absolutely love it when these beauties (or should that be uglies) arrive in florists & boutiques in the Autumn months. These here were such a bargain at 50p each too!
Of course we have our ever so cute mini pumpkins on display again, aren't these little cuties adorable? They are so fairy-tale like & delicious.
They sit in this bowl on our coffee table in the living room and they always get a comment from guests. People can't believe they are tiny dried pumpkins!
And here is a snippet of the fab fabric leaves I picked up in Hamburg last year.
Lovely to adorn tables and fireplaces with.
Here we have a little Autumn pot-pourri mix that I made up from dried orange & lime slices, bay leaves, tiny dried chillies, dried rose hips, sticks of cinnamon & a few conkers thrown in too.
This all sits in a lovely hand-turned wooden bowl in our hallway.
Yay, conkers! Well it wouldn't be Autumn without conkers would it! This is a selection of conkers that we picked up last weekend over in Appleby in Cumbria whilst we had a lovely Autumn walk by the river.
I must admit I can't resist a conker lying on the ground, I do love these little fellas don't you?
And lastly here is a hanging chili heart that I made which hangs from the dresser in our dining room. I love the colour of these chillies as they are so orange & teamed with the raffia I think it looks so rustic & Autumnal.
Hope you enjoyed the little sneak peek into our Autumnal goodies that are decorating our home at the moment, eeek it won't be long before the Christmas lovelies will be adorning the home will it?
Well until then enjoy the beautiful Autumn days everyone.

This brought so much warmth to my heart. I love the way you celebrate the seasons in your home with natural beauty, brought together with your unique artistic flair. I feel inspired - though it's Spring/Summer here. Sarah
Hi, Alison! Such lovlies!! So delicious, so pretty! Anything that's good to eat has to be good to decorate with, right?! ;o) Happy new week, my friend ((HUGS))
I so enjoyed looking at your Autummal decorations!
It has put mine to shame!Lol
All I have is the smallest Pumpkin ever that I bought for .99p.
Now... that I have seen yours... I will try to put a bit more effort on my decorations, too.
Thanks so much for sharing!
