Pumpkins & Wheat – August Pinterest Challenge. The end of August means fall is just around the corner. Soon we will see all kinds of pretty pumpkins, wheat stalks, and gorgeous fall leaves. I love this time of year, so it’s always fun to add some of these pretty things to my home decor.
Today I am joining a group of friends for August Pinterest Challenge.
Each month we are given an inspiration photo from our hostess Cindy @ Country Road 407 . We are given the challenge of doing our version of recreating a similar vignette. Today we have a beautiful basket filled with pumpkins and wheat. I love this, it just seems to speak “Fall” to me. This pretty vignette was created by Janelle Trinette.
I think it is always fun to recycle a tablescape. I had this pretty centerpiece for most of July, so time for a change. You can see the entire post of this pretty table here.
I just switched out a new basket arrangement and now it really speaks to Fall.
Our inspiration photo used a pretty basket, pumpkins, and wheat to create their vignette. They used a door as their backdrop, I decided to use my version as a table centerpiece.
This was so easy to do. I found a basket in my stash that I thought would work. Then I started to round up a few pumpkins I had and decided to add some antlers too. I took a napkin to line the bottom of the basket ( just like the inspiration pic ) then I started to fill it with some of my favorite pumpkins. The inspiration pic used some log slices and let a few pumpkins spill out onto them. I let a few spill out onto my table runner too. A bundle of wheat finished off my centerpiece.
This was such a fun challenge. If you came over from Postcards From The Ridge, welcome. I am sure you loved her amazing quick and easy tips for decorating baskets.

So pretty! I love that you did a tablescape. Happy Fall!
Your fall basket makes a really pretty centerpiece, and I love the wheat stack and candles too! Rustic and elegant!
Miss Marty I love this vignette. I have similar elements on hand and will updating my sideboard TODAY! Thank you for the inspiration.
I love your beautiful fall table, Marty. The colors are wonderful!

I love that your napkin inside the basket really pulls the entire table together since you use the same napkins at each place setting. Love your version this month. Perfectly fall and so pretty. Thanks for joining us.
Love your pretty basket centerpiece Marty! Perfect for fall. Pinned!
I love this pretty centerpiece! Those pumpkins are gorgeous and the wheat adds such beautiful texture. The colors are lovely and pair so well together!
Marty, these are wonderful colors for fall. It is fun to think that fall is right around the corner!
Great idea to do a basket centerpiece on your table, Marty. So pretty with that wheat arrangement sticking out.
Oh, Marty, I LOVE your centerpiece! and those ‘leather’ pumpkins! Perfect! I think you did a lovely job on putting you own spin on the challenge! Pinned!
Marty… where did you find the ‘leather’ pumpkins?
I found them a couple years ago at Hobby Lobby. I haven’t seen any since then. I really like them, they are so fun. Marty
Thanks, Marty! Oh, and I’m super excited to be featuring your post at Tuesday Turn About today! Pinned (again!)
Marty, I love both of the baskets you shared! Your fall basket looks so festive with the wheat bundle beside it!!! I love all the textures, too! (Something I noticed you’ve shared in your latest decorating post.)
Enjoy and happy almost fall,
Hugs,

Marty, your basket centerpiece is perfect for fall. It could go anywhere. The combination of items works so well together. The wheat sheave adds great height.
