'Less is more' is not the phrase that comes to mind when you enter our living room. What we do hear from people is that it resembles a cozy Hobbit house somehow. Well, I can life with that. And I must admit I often don't know when to stop once I start my seasonal decorations.
But today I've made a lovely Ivy garland in no time simply by sewing fresh Ivy leaves together with my grandma's old sewing machine. (The original idea for a beautiful paper garland comes from the sympathetic Katherine and is shared on her lovely blog.) A fresh, green Ivy garland....just what our Hobbit home needed.
Encouraged by this success I also managed to put a small vase in a hollowed-out pumpkin. And voila. two Autumn decorations made in less than an hour! Definitely a case of 'less is more' don't you think?

The chestnut spiderweb in the first photo is something I still love to make each Autumn. It reminds me of my childhood and it gives me a warm feeling when I enter our house and see it in our window.
