Home Sweet Home # 27

 Photo by Lulu Tapp
Welcome to Home Sweet Home!  I have been bitten by the fall bug.  This picture started it all,
taken by Lulu Tapp, photographer and stylist for Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Couture.  This and much more of Lulu's home are featured in the latest issue of Romantic Country magazine.
I saw this picture and could not get it out of my mind.  This is the kind of look I would love the achieve with some of my fall decorating this year.  So, since it is too early for pumpkins I crafted some up.

 A little pumpkin topiary that will last year to year.   If you want to know how to make these pumpkins, that post is here. 

 I used three different fabrics for this topiary.  The white burlap was a 20 inch circle, the cotton print was a 18 inch circle, and the natural muslin was a 14 inch circle. 

Like Lulu's pumpkin topiary on her front porch, I used Spanish moss between the pumpkins and on top.  Where do you get the real stem when it isn't fall yet?  From a butternut squash at the grocery store.
Thanks for joining me at Home Sweet Home!
