In my last post, I shared How I Created my Elegant Fall Tree that I have in our Living Room.

Today I want to show you how I decorated around the base of this Tree.......

I used a cute red wagon and filled it with a bunch of Glittery Pumpkins that I added some embellishment too!!

Let me start with what the wagon looked like 3 years ago....

I had originally used it outside in the front flower bed.....

3 years ago, I decided to give it a fresh coat of nice red paint.......

And use it for a display indoors instead of outdoors!!

And here where I used it this year.....

Here's how I embellished some of these Pumpkins.......

Here is a Pumpkin that I sprayed with gold and copper spray paint several years ago and added a bit of Glitter to

And here is what it looks like now..........

I added more Glitter to it along with a leaf that I also added some gold glitter too and I used some ornaments for berries on top!!

Here is a velvet pumpkin that I bought on Clearance last year.......

I glued some leaves and 2 small ornaments to the top of it.....

I added a bit more glitter to the leaves using Gold Glitter in a tube bought at Dollar Tree!!

I did this to several pumpkins!!

I had the gold and copper colored ones for several years.....

But last year, I bought the green pumpkin on Clearance in Big Lots at 90% off!! It already had the green glitter on it!

Joe bought the metal pumpkin in Wegmans , also on Clearance at 90% off last year!!

I love how the Pumpkins glisten on both the day and the night!!

And I also did a little vignette on this chair.......

I placed a nice Fall table napkin over the chair seat.....

And added more Blingy Pumpkins.......

The metal Pumpkin was also bought at Wegman's at 90% off.....

I added a bit of Glitter to it.....

The Gold and Green Pumpkins were bought at Big Lots at 90% off last year!

The Gold one had all the sparkle on it already but the green one was plain.....

I added a bit more Glitter, leaves and more little ornaments to them.....

Along side the wagon , is a little bench with some pumpkins and my Fall Bearington Bears....

I did the Fall Floral arrangement in the " Autumn Welcome" container.....

And I dabbled with the Pumpkins!!

I am so happy with how it all looks!!

I am glad that I decided to go with using the "Big" Tree this year for my Fall Tree!

And I Love how it all looks at night!!

I also want to show you my wreath that I have on the large mirror on the Living Room....

I made this several years ago but I wanted to add a bit of something to it so I decided to add a few ornaments.....

I added some copper and gold glittered ornaments to this wreath!!

Gives it just a bit of Bling....

I finally finished decorating my Living Room........

Soon, I will take you on a little Tour of my Living Room decorated for Fall with a bit of Halloween!!

I had an appointment with my Orthropedic Surgeon the other day and he injected my knee. Right now, it has been very painful.....

I also got a bit of disheartening news. I had hoped that I would be able to put my Knee Replacement Surgery off for close to 5 years because I would like to have it right before I retire at 62 y/o. He told me that I was dreaming!! My knee has deteriorated more so I will never be able to put it off for 5 years....

I need to seriously rethink my plans now and try to hold off as long as I can........

Now you may be asking why I am holding it off....... At 56 y/o, I would be looking at having the surgery needing to be done in another 15 years-20 years as replacement surgery is only good for that long. I only want to have this done once and not twice!

Plus, my recovery would be 4 months since my health care would not cover an Acute Rehab Stay ( Yes, I do work in Rehab and yes, it is my employer's own HMO!) My Employer is strict with FMLA leaves and would only hold my job for 3 months so I would not have a job in the department where I have worked for 32 years!! Nice , Huh? Those are my reasons........

I hope you will come back to visit!!
