A few years ago I saw a "Thanksgiving Tree" on "Rate My Space." It was beautiful and I thought it was a great idea. I love putting up our Christmas tree but it's a lot of work for such a short time. Fall is my favorite time of year so I decided to try an Autumn Tree. I thought I'd share what I did.
I started with some gold garland that I found at Hobby Lobby. It took 7 packages to do the whole tree.
Then I added autumn ribbon. It took more than I thought. I wish I had bought more!
I then added a few different autumn floral picks.

Sunflowers (Rust, Red and Yellow) |

Glittery pumpkins |
 |
Bead berries |
 |
Metal acorn jingle bells! |
 |
Glittery copper leaves. |
 |
A fat little squirrel! |
 |
With the lights on! Love it. |

I added a few golden leaves. |
 |
Some bead berries. |

Here's how it looks at night. I'm ready for some mulled cider and pumpkin bread! |

And a final touch...

A reminder to myself!
I have much to be thankful for this year! |
