I hope that every one had a wonderful Halloween!
I am super excited to share with you my fall display and free printable fall banner this morning! I wanted to throw in a nontraditional twist to the display by adding the color turquoise.
Since orange and turquoise are opposite of each other on the color wheel, they naturally go well together.

My mom and step-dad run a glass blowing shop in Conway, SC. {There is a link to their shop in my sidebar.} Every Christmas, I look forward to getting one of their beautiful creations! The blown glass pumpkin with the turquoise stem was the starting point for the color scheme.
If you've never seen a glass blowing demonstration, then you need to watch this video:
Now on to the free stuff! You can print the letters out as either 5" x 7" or 3" x 5". The banner below was printed out as the 3" x 5" size. I used Picasa and chose the "shrink to fit" option before I printed. The larger size would be the perfect size for a fireplace mantle!
*I'd like to give a special thanks to The Graphics Fairy for sharing the French Acorn Wreath that I used to make my banner. I'd also like to thank Blooming Homestead for sharing her free printable that I used on my galvanized flower bucket. I got the idea for the turquoise painted pumpkins for the mini topiary from Northern Cottage.*
Be sure to follow me on Facebook! Later this week, I'll be a guest over at Jen's adorable blog, City Farmhouse. I'm sharing a house tour and a little about me for her Style House Guest Feature Series. My Facebook fans will be the first to get the link love!

hey there!! I'm completely smitten with your display and your blog! You give it such a fun crisp space. ahhh lovely! I'm honored that you've done up some of your own aqua punks and mentioned me! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello Tricia,
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to find your beautiful blog! I loved your color wheel and the reminder of the colors that compliment one another. I added orange to my hutch filled with blueware this year and it worked...Now, I know why.
I am thrilled to be able to stop by and I look forward to many more visits.
Blessings and thanks,
Carolynn
