We are having an unusually warm September here in Minnesota, making it challenging to get into the autumn decorating spirit quite yet. I did, however, pull a very large stack of plastic leaf coasters out of a drawer yesterday. I'm not sure of the origin of these silly things, but I have managed to collect quite a number of them over the years. I love them for their simplicity, colors, shape and versatility. They are also slightly whimsical, as I think plastic can never be taken too seriously.
The yellows, greens and browns are a perfect autumn accent here and there........
and I love the bright red leaves against pale blue.
Sprinkling them around the house made me happy and spurred a few other simple ideas.
They will make lovely place cards for my next dinner party.
A package adorned with vintage trim, gift tag and leaf is nearly as good as the gift inside!
Happy last day of summer......let the fall decorating begin!
Your wrapped packages are works of art! And I love those plastic leaves ...
