Holiday Cupboard for Fall...

I've had a little owl fetish going on this Fall. Last year it was crows, this year it's the ever-mysterious, dark-of-night, can-be-a little-creepy, Barn-ibus Hoot-icus.



And some of them have come to live in my
Holiday Cupboard.


(pay no attention to the old-school, 10 year old attempt at covering a large French door when there were no other options and I'm too cheap right now to try to find something else, curtains.)



For those of you "hoo" ve been hanging around for awhile
you know that this is my "married" cupboard downstairs,
that changes out each Holiday or Season;
hence the name "Holiday Cupboard".


I thought I'd group some of my old cameras and alarm clocks,
found at local fleas for just a few dollars,
 together with this black, neutral, and orange theme.







Love this guy's silhouette and slightly ominous eyes.
(found last weekend at Inspirational Home)



These are two very old Children's Encyclopedias.
These were a dollar each at our local swap meet.
what a deal. love the graphics.






And it's just not Fall without some Birdies and Squirrels





If you'd like to see last year's Fall Holiday Cupboard, which was a runner up in the Fall Cottages and Bungalow's Contest, then just click here. Hope you're having a great weekend, lot's more "Fabulous Fall Fun" coming up!

  11. Debra,
    How WISE and clever you are to add owls to your Holiday Caupboard, dear friend! Last years display was stunning...but I'm lovin' the clocks in this display even more!!!Barn~ibus Hoot~icus doesn't look overly pleased with his new name, does he??? Autumn has arrived On Crooked Creek and the doors and windows are open wide to allow this fresh, gentle breeze all through the house!!! EnJOY!!!
    Fondly,
    Pat

  25. Debra,

    I LOVE the Holiday Cupboard! Great idea. A display all contained in one area. LOVE IT!

    And I personally like the owls better than crows... there are so many beautiful ones to choose from yet, the crows all look the same. Enjoy your treasures & thanks for sharing!
