Fall Table to Mantel Sheet Music Project...

We had dinner guests this weekend.   

We've been having this same couple once a month - 

so I'm trying to vary my decor and menu.

As usual - I used whatever I had on hand. 

The berry and leaves garland I just scored for 1.50! 

The green dishes were also a recent thrift purchase.  

At less than $1/piece - I'm excited to have 

 something that will work for Fall and Christmas!

 The place settings looked a little plain to me.

  So for a bit of Fall 'extra' -  I found some leaves 

in my backyard & traced them to make a template.

 I traced the template onto vintage sheet music and cut.  

Then traced once more a bit larger onto brown craft paper.

I glued the 2 pieces together for a little plate decor.

 (I'll share about those delicious herb biscuits in another post.)

After our guests left - I made each sheet music leaf into a 

tag with a hole punch & string.  I  tied each 'tag' 

onto a piece of string the length of my fireplace. 

Now I have a fall banner that I wasn't even planning on making!

The rest of the story?... I intended our guests to take a sheet music leaf

home with them - but nobody did.  Turns out - that was OK!
