Kitchen "Autumn-ized"

I have begun the journey of making my kitchen ready for fall. I took the spring table cloth and flowers off and brought my plaid table cloth back out of storage and added sunflowers as the centerpiece. My kitchen is an combination fall harvest theme for this time of year. Here are a few of my favorite items.

This bowl is one of my favorites. I got it several years ago at Pier I for a huge discount.
I love this display. I've had that little pumpkin for years. I found it at Cracker Barrel I think about 6 years ago. The little pumpkin candy dish was a $5.00 special at Pampered Chef last year so it was a must have.
My harvest angel was from a local craft shop and I only paid about $5 or $6 for her. She is a perfect guardian angel over our kitchen. I just adore her.
This pitcher was a Walmart find on clearance several years ago. Since I love fruit themes in kitchen it was a no-brainer to snatch up this bargain at $3.00
This was my first piece of primitive stitchery I did by myself. I was kind of proud of it. Just hung it up long enough to take the picture. I need to take it down and press the wrinkles out. This little towel rod is on the end of a utility shelf by my cabinet. It's my seasonal decor. I change the towel out with each season.
 My cousin made this little towel for me. It's another of my favorite harvest items.
 Some of my harvest tea for one sets.
This isn't in the kitchen, it's in the living room. But I just adore this cloth pumpkin that I picked up at a craft store locally for $3.00. Should have bought a bunch to give as gifts at that price. But I wasn't thinking.
 My cousin Patty is the crafter in our family. She made me this table runner several years ago and I just adore it. I wanted to take a picture of it before I put my stuff out on it.

Here's a close up of the little girl on it. Isn't she adorable?

I love my little leaf candy dishes and can't wait for fall to set them out every year.

Well, I'm officially in fall mode at my house. I still need to get the door wreath out of storage, but for now I'm all set.
