Layers or Donkey

My cutie~pie daughter just asked me why the title of this blog post is 'Layers'...and I said, "You'll see." Then she said to me...."Well, why don't you call it Donkey???"  Which begs the question..."Why would I call it Donkey?" To which she replies...."Because donkeys have layers!"  Guess I haven't seen Shrek lately...this child cracks me up daily...lucky me!

So about those LAYERS...

Like adding more blankets to your beds...potatoes to your stew, a sweater or two to your ensemble it is time to add layers to our homes...isn't it the fun~est time of year to decorate?

Same old chair...cozier with a couple of pillows...

And then my favorite thing to do to kick off my Autumnal decorating festivities...

is to shop for home decor in the produce department...

Today's tchotchke, is tomorrow's soup!

But wait...I layered that pillow clad chair
with a gigantic urn of pine cones

that I gleaned last year when
Mom Nature layered the ground with these bad boys...

That Mother Nature....what a gal!

Truly the QUEEN of LAYERING...am I wrong?!

And why on Earth would you just put a bowl of clementines
on the kitchen counter?

Alone!

Slip some chubby cookbooks under that vitamin C filled bowl...

Layers!

I am layering my dining room table with an old rustic bench...

And then I am going to layer that bench with a big burlap pumpkin...

But of course!

And not to be ignored....gonna layer my walls with lots and lots of hand stitched quilts...

Yummy, yummy quilts...

And you know that I love it when an old quilt looks like it has a story to tell...

So the more worn and torn...all the more interesting the story...

Don't you agree?

My love of tea pots and interesting tops for them is endless...

A bouquet of pine cones...

A most interesting layer, in deed!

Spoons...

Want to add instant interest and instant layers to any vignette?  Add spoons!

I just made that up...

But I might be right...I'm just sayin'.

Have a most splendid week.

Throw a layer or two 'round your home and soak in the loveliness of the season that is upon us.
