So, I have these frames that are up on my piano, that I think will be a permanent-ish part of my décor, since I’ve had a good time so far just switching out what I put in them. So, for fall:
I just gathered some leaves and put them in there. They’re on burlap, and the big one has a book page layered in there, because it looks a lot more interesting that way than with a plain white piece of paper, which is what was there before. The book page is from my complete collection of Edgar Allan Poe, so that makes it Halloween-y, too. If you look closely. Inside the front cover of the book I found my list of things to do before I die from like 5 years ago. Number 60 is “Do more than one boy-style pushup.” I still haven’t done it. Because I can’t. Seriously, such wimpy arms.

Oh, I love this idea!! I am always looking for ways to bring fall color inside and this is great! I love the contrast of the burlap back ground with the fresh bright leaves. This is really lovely!

I love this idea! I especially love the idea of using a book page behind the leaf. Beautiful job! I'd also love it if you linked up to my link party going on now! http://alittleknickknack.blogspot.com/ Have a wonderful weekend!
What a great idea!! They are so simple and pretty!
I love it! It is simple, natural looking, and looks easy to make!
Stop over and check out Free 2 Be Frugal sometime.
Those are very pretty! They would fit in perfectly with my living room after I get the painting and stuff done that I have planned.
Love the Burlap behind the leaves. I think I may add that to a leaf I have framed. I saw this on the Tatertots & Jello party. My link this week is very similar to yours. Take a look if you have time. Victoria, http://www.obseussed.com/2010/09/my-husband-leaves-me-alone-while-i.html

Love this! I think we'll try it! We'll link back to you if we do!
LOVE the look of this! I'm including it in a 5 for Friday round up on Fall Burlap Projects, including one pic and a link back to this post : )
FYI though - kept trying to get to this through pinterest and it keeps saying your site has malware. Happened to me once, and it was because I had a blinky graphic from another site that was infected. I had to delete all graphics off my blog from that particular site and then it was fine again. Hope you figure it out!
cute!
You can also buy fall leaves from specialty online stores, I found one called botanicalart.etsy.com that sells these leaves, pressed and preserved. Especially useful if you live in an area with not much fall color, like me in Texas! :-)
