Hooked on Houses Fall Tour

It's Hooked on Houses Fall Tour!

I finally have my house all falled up!

Starting in the Dining Room. I have set the table with Spode Woodland Turkey.

Here is my Dining Room mantle. The silk Chinese lantern stems were from Michael's. As you can see I have quite a turkey collection. The copper pumpkins are new from Target.

On the mantle is a white pumpkin with a Harvest Moon face. I got the idea from Country Living magazine.

We have a lot of pheasants on the bar in the Billiards Room and my stained glass turkey is one of my very favorites.

In our Sunroom, we have a tea set with an Indian corn teapot and a pumpkin painting by my younger daughter.

Last on the tour is my husband's study. As you may remember, he is a reenactor, so there is a military history theme to his study.

Ignore the dust on the Library Ladder - it's not good to overclean antiques. Ha Ha!!!!
