I picked up this little bell at the car boot sale a couple of weeks back. It was in one of the boxes of all sorts being sold by one of the house clearance people. I spotted the apple and thought it would be a nice little extra for the top of the bookshelves for Autumn.
I've got more bits and bobs for Autumn and Winter in the cupboard than I have for Spring and Summer, so can have different stuff out and this is what I've brought out of the box for this year.
But maybe it looks a bit brown and dull, so may have a rethink.
Last weekend at the bootsale a man had several of the Beswick Birds that I've mentioned before and now have an accidental collection of 3! Luckily he wanted £7 Each - so I wasn't even tempted as there was no way was I paying that much when my 3 have been cheap (cheep?). The Chaffinch was 50p in June and the Blue Tit and Wren have been around a few years and were either £1 or 50p. I wonder if he sold his for £7 each?
Back Soon
Hi Sue, have you got an orange piece of material to go underneath the display? That would lift the colour and make it look more autumnal. I think that’s all you need.
ReplyDeleteSomething to look out for at the next boot sale!
DeleteI like your autumnal display and the new bell was a great buy . I also have small seasonal displays( Christmas is unsurprisingly by far the biggest). I keep it modest like you, just a few pieces of ceramic and no plastic pumpkins.
