I have to admit, it seems kind of out of left field to get so geared up for fall. I mean, we live on a Caribbean island and all. It’s the land of perma-summer.

But a tree … yes, a tree … totally caught me off guard yesterday and it had me coming up with fall centerpiece ideas … and then creating a little front door decor. It’s like my personal welcome to fall. With love, summer. 🙂

I think it looks like eucalyptus.

The leaves are velvety to the touch. With these neat little, draping balls.

I thought they were the perfect touch of fall for the door.

It’s not much, it’s pretty simple. But to me, it feels like fall … and that makes me smile as I’m sweating my a$$ off. 🙂

Now … time for me to head back to the beach. 😉

But feel free to stick around and see how to make your own little trough out of just one pallet slat, the tutorial is here.

And the image transfer is a super easy technique using just your ink jet printer and some white glue, check it here.

And here are my 5 fall centerpiece ideas that were inspired by this same tree.

And Happy Fall Y’all!!
