I'm not sure if it was the last few days of pouring down rain or the fact that I could see Bryan's breath the other morning as we headed to the patio, for our cup of joe...
But I am finally in a Autumn mood....
It's time to lite those pumpkin spice candles, put out a few fall decorations, plus get organized and ready for school to start...I hate the last part. :(
So here's a little project I did last year but never had time to share...(my life definitely does not get easier when the kiddo's go back to school)...
I picked up these bottles at the GW...but it was last year so I have no idea what I paid..although they had to be cheap...that is what I do..cheap :)
I pounded a piece of rod iron in ground to hold the bottles (I do the same thing to paint bowling balls) and then used orange spray paint to cover the whole thing....
After the first coat had dried I sprayed the top with white paint and the bottom with yellow..
Easy Peasy!
I then filled them with fall foliage...
And put them under the oil painting I did of Cally...
Sooo
Let the air get crisp and the leaves fall...I am finally ready...I think. :)

Yummy bottles! I use the rebar iron for painting. Make sure you check before you pound it in the ground. My neighbor wanted to paint something that way and punctured her sprinkle system! Love the kitty portrait!
ReplyDeleteLOL...That's something I would do!!

So cute and what a great way to paint them. I never thought about sticking them on a pole.
ReplyDeleteI am still not ready for autumn because summer weather just came to our part of the coast. I did buy some red/yellow mums.
Definitely feeling like Autumn here this week. I love the candy corn bottles. I think they would make a great party favor too. I noticed the painting right off and loved it! You painted that? What talent! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
