Fall decorating, using natural elements from our backyard!
Continuing on my Fall decorating fun,
I thought I would share with you a recent purchase today at Walmart.
I scored this little guy for $7.00. I was not happy with his original color, but no problem there. I have left over ASCP, that I will use every last drop!
I have a backyard filled with trees, leaves and pine needles.
So why not bring some indoors to decorate with!
Here is the original little guy....
He is resin, but he has nice grooves, and I thought I would age him up a bit,
Ole squirrel!
I even gave him eyes to see, I just painted the eyes black.
He makes for a cute centerpiece...
Here are a few more peeks at my Fall decor...
That's all for now.
Thanks for all your sweet comments on our pizza oven. Mike sat down last night and read them all, he was grinning from ear to ear.
NEWBIE party going on

The squirrel is darling and you gave him a lot more character.
WOW... Do I have a lot to catch up on here in blogland after a MIL filled weekend. The squirrel is perfect, but about that pizza grill. Lordy, it looks like it was built by pros. Fabulous. I'm still in disbelief that you all got that new addition put onto your back to quickly. Amazing. Thanks again for getting me out of my rut and looking at something fun and new to do. What a fun party that was. Already eyeing the mags for the next one. Off and running way too much to look at before dinner time.
You did a great job on your squirrel. He will be a treasure for a long time.
I want that little squirrel! You made him so cute Debbie!
I need to read about the pizza over too, things in bloggland move quickly!

Awww, such a cute squirrel. He is adorable!! Right down to the eyes!
Amazing how you made that squirrel come to life with paint. Very nice.
What a darling he is!! I like how you have him displayed on the pedestal!
XO,

He is just too too cute. Love him and your paint job brought the poor little fellow back to life.
Oh Yes! That is so much better! He really did need those eyes and you filled them in so well. He is just too cute!
He's so cute! I bet Kim really likes him because she loves squirrels for Fall. I buy my groceries at Walmart so, of course, I look at other stuff while I'm there. They can surprise you with some of the good stuff they have! At least you know you got a fair price for it.
Love that squirrel! Everything is looking wonderful! I looked at your last post..oh my! That is an awesome pizza oven! I'm going to show my hubby that. Kristen
Love the adorable sqeer-all!!
The new paint job on your squirrel is really nicer than the one you bought..oh that is the one..lol
I missed your pizza oven..let me go back and read all about it..
Fall is on Friday and I am really happy to see the summer leave.. but it's still summer here, 95' today. It never go's away down here. Maybe somehow I can go a bit north to see the fall leaves begin?
Nice post Debbie

I like what you did w/ the squirrel! He looks a lot better, even cuter! I love all the decor!

Your $7 squirrel is perfect now! Looks great as a centerpiece!
The little squirrel is just adorable, now that you touched him up. Why I think I even notice a hint of a smile on his face. So cute!

Debbie, how darling your Mr. Squirrel is. I think my Mr. Squirrel needs a new look, too. Thanks for the idea!
I love him!!! He looks so much better painted! I am going to Walmart to find him! Your table looks so cute. I am about to do it and pull out the fall stuff!
That squirrel is the cutest, especially after his "make over". YOur did a great job. I like his color better and his dark eyes.
Happy Fall!

I love your little squirrel! The color is great & I love that you gave him eyes. He makes a super cute vignette.
Amazing how you put that pop of color(sunflowers) on the black and white...love all your fall,yall!!
That squirrel reminds me of my little Scooter,I miss her,but I think she is the one out by the shop with two little babies.

Cute little guy. Boy the eyes made a difference.
Looking good up there. Hugs
Just too cute, I just found the same little guy. Doesn't he have the cutest face? I've fallen in love with squirrels this year.. hugs ~lynne~
Debbie I m smiling so big at you squirrel. Cute!!!
I meant "your" squirrel not you.
LOL! I'm tired today. :)
Love the new squirrel. How cute is he. How fun to be able to walk through the yard and gather some fabulous leaves and twigs to decorate with. Love the sunflowers. I don't think I've seen the white, but they are so pretty together. Great vignettes. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Love that squirrel! A big thankyou for hosting the Newbie Party! I grabbed your button and linked to you in my post. Of course it took me FOREVER to figure it out, lol, but I'm learning! Thanks again!
He's just cute as can be...
Now, I have to go see if I can score one at our WM.
I love the squirrel, you did good, he's a darling, just right for fall! When you get tired of him, just send him over to me! LOL! Hugs, FABBY
What a deal you scored with the squirrel! He looks great!
Love your squirrel! He looks a lot better with his eyes painted in too! What a cute setting with him on the leaves and twigs.
You did a great job with the squirrel, Debbie. It looks much better, especially with the eye filled in. It seems like I remember another post having to do with a squirrel and an eye! ;)
Debbie, your autumn vignettes are lovely, and I think the little squirrel is so cute! And you outdoor pizza oven? WOW!!!! Y'all are so lucky. Just in time for autumn! I hope y'all enjoy it (but really you an enjoy it year round where you live).....
(((hugs))),
