A couple of weeks ago I introduced you to a great group of junkers Donna of Funky Junk Interiors gathered to pin to a new board she started called JUNKERS UNITED.  If you missed it, you can visit that post HERE.

Today we want to introduce you to an amazing collection of our favorite FALL junk ideas...

It's a little "Fall Junk Potluck" :)

And here is what I am bringing to the party...

I was originally just going to show you this rusty cornucopia spilling with gourds.

I have no idea what this "mystery junk" started out as...but with the addition of some "bountiful" embellishment...it became a fun addition to my fall table.

I wasn't getting the photos I wanted inside...so I brought it outside.

And plopped it on my re-purposed washtub table...

...under our new "chicken warmer turned garden arbor".

(That clever tin bunting was purchased from a booth at the Junk Bonanza is September...I can't take claim to that idea, but I love it!!)

And that is how my "Rusty Cornucopia Vignette" came to be :)

Mini Mold Pumpkins...inspired by Organized Clutter...

h

Have you seen these little jello mold pumpkins by Carlene at Organized Clutter??  I was "in love" from the moment I saw them.

You might remember that I too enjoy turning random things into pumpkins. I think Carlene and I are are cut from the same junk "mold"...pun intended ;)

Bundt Pan Wreath and MORE :)

I just couldn't resist making a "few" for the booth.  And can you believe I used all things I had "on hand"??

I had an assortment on molds in my stash.

Some I lightly painted and distressed.

The stems were some plastic knobs I had purchased a while back at IKEA...just in case.  They came in handy in an unexpected way.
I used Gorilla Super Glue to adhere them to the top.  (I only used molds with a plain top...no bumps or JELLO for a better seal)

When the glue dried, I wrapped the knob with twine and tied on a little button/mini leaf combo for embellishment.  Then I twisted in a little rusty spring remnant.  I knew I save those for a reason!!

So what do you think?  Does it look like a pumpkin?

Here they are all marked and ready to head to our booth at ANTIQUES DOWNTOWN.

Thanks Carlene for another clever idea!!  If you like this...you'll have to check out her other fun JUNK PUMPKINS and her adorable little POT LID SNOWMAN.  Cute, cute, cute :)

Fall Centerpiece...yardsticks, gourds and a touch of aqua...

Mind if I share just a couple more fall ideas this week?  We will be decorating our booth for CHRISTMAS next week...so I'll need to "switch gears" here a little bit...

...but before I do that I want to cherish my favorite season for a few more days.

I haven't shown you my Fall centerpiece.  

I just can't resist layering a few yardsticks into most of my vignettes these days.

And those rustic fence pieces add the perfect bit of "imperfection" :)

A mix of gourds...real and "faux"...and some mini globes for fun.

I thought the "ribs" on the tarnished silver pieces looked "pumpkin-ish" as well.

A little pop of aqua with this lamp shade cloche.

So here's my Great Room dressed in it's Fall "finest" :)

So how about you...are you still "relishing" Fall??

I'm not quite ready to think Christmas/Winter...but when you sell retail you really have no choice.  Hop on the "sleigh" or you might miss it :)

I have at least one more Fall post this week...

Until then, 

Layered Fall Door Decor...junkers version of a "wreath"...

You might already know that I love unique wreaths for my front door.  They can be round...but they don't have to be.

Here is what I came up with for Fall this year.

I started by attaching a few license plates together with twine.

I took the belt off of this tool belt...and added some more twine to hang it.

That "straw" is a hand broom.

Tucked in a silver "server" and clipped on some fall leaves...I "ENJOY" fall.  Can you tell?

That little pumpkin fit into the "hammer holder" perfectly.

And finished it off with some button magnets and book page embellishments.

So that's what hanging on my door these days...layers of fall junk goodies.

What do you have on your door?
