Magnolia Fall Decor

My son, Reed, and I take many walks around our neighborhood and a few of my neighbors have beautiful magnolia trees.  I love the greenery and of course the blossoms but hadn't made use of the pods.  I gathered some and placed them in a pickle dish ($11 from Pier 1 a few years ago) for my living room mantle and in a tiered fruit bowl with a candle in my dining area.  I think they could be spray painted gold or given a little greenery for Christmas.  But for now they are my fall decor until I decorate for Christmas...which I cannot wait for by the way!  More Christmas decorating and traditions in future posts!

The dining area...


I love this bowl.  I use it to display so many things.  It was a gift from my mother-in-law who used to love to collect antiques but is now purging.  I get a lot of her purges...lucky me!

The runner is from Target - I believe they still have them and the candle was a gift from my husband, Rudy, last fall and is an awesome pumpkin spice scent.
