This is to show you that beautiful fall ambience can be had for pennies. Thrifting is a wonderful thing. I'll admit I've been shamelessly  grabbing every nice taper holder I see. I did share with Francis last weekend because I'm a good mom like that. Besides she's the one that showed me how to do this.

Rest assured, tapers are burned only in safe places and when we are present.

The dog wood is exceptionally beautiful right now. Perfect for autumn color against the white wall. Amy and I each waded into the ditch on our evening walk to collect a bouquet. Happy decorating everyone.
