Happy October!

I love the colors of fall....yellow, red, orange. I think of pumpkins, mums, and candy. So that's exactly how I wanted to decorate my front porch. I have never been able to grow a plant, so planting mums is definately something new for me! Two weeks ago I purchased the pots and mums on the side of the road at a produce stand. The pots were ugly grey concrete, so two Saturdays ago, I painted and stained them to look antique. The mums have really taken bloom, I hope they last! Finally, to complete the look I did a candycorn wreath. My inspiration came from the front cover of Woman's Day.
Here's how I did it:
16'' foam wreath wrapped in black duct tape
hot glue lots and lots of candy corn in opposing directions
hang with a satin ribbon

P.S. I did learn however, that moisture in the air makes the candycorn melt! Take it in if it's raining!
