With the temperatures cooling (ahhh, finally!) and the leaves starting to turn (already??), my favorite time of the year is just around the corner: Fall!!! I see that I am certainly not alone in my love for the season as many bloggers are prepping for this precious time of the year.
Last week we were on a mini vacation before the start of school. This week, projects abound chez Willow Wisp. One quick project was to autumize this cute tiered stand that I found last week. I LOVE this stand, and just had to have it. I've been looking for something to pretty up my kitchen island for a while now, and this was perfect.
Enter pumpkins, squash, gourds, apples, & a pinch of Spanish moss for good measure. Result: Cute, festive, autumn loveliness.
The squash is real. I found fake mini apples & pumpkins, which are quite realistic looking.
I already have plans for this tiered stand for Christmas: I envision chestnuts, pomegranates, clove covered oranges....oh my!
Stay tuned for many more finished projects to come! While the next few weeks will be busy with the start of school, one more mini trip, a big girl turning 3 and several more sets of visitors trying to squeeze in one last trip before the end of summer, I still hope to get these projects completed and up for you all to see. Enjoy these last precious days of summer, when the evenings are cooler, and the excitement of the coming season is just ahead!

Lovely! I like to dress up stands on my bar, too! Isn't it fun? I love Fall and I think the squash, pumpkins and gourds look great on your stand. I, too, love your paint color!
Oh it looks so pretty with the gords and fruit. Love the rafia in the bottom. I am with you and so ready for fall. Hugs, Marty

What a great piece! If it were in my kitchen right now, it would be stacked with gorgeous, giant, ripe, delicious peaches. I look forward to seeing your variations for your tiered basket. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
That is too cute and I just love your kitchen!
You are so right about not being alone when it comes to loving fall. You have a beautiful kitchen and are your leaves turning already? My pumpkins are way ahead of their time, not sure if they will hang on until Oct.
Great idea...and the black wrought iron tier is perfect to set all the great Autumn colors off!

This display really says, "fall." Like the use of the moss to add texture. :-) Am visiting from Marty's party.
