I thought I’d share the little bit of fall decorating that I did on the buffet that’s in my screened porch. Now that the weather has cooled down we often eat lunch and dinner outside so I wanted to make my buffet table a little more seasonal.

But I didn’t want to over do it since I do set food on there and I didn’t want to have to move stuff off in order to do that. I’m usually a more is better kind of person so restraint doesn’t come naturally 🙂 !
The first thing I did was to take down my white plates that I had around the mirror all summer. I changed them out for some Johnson Bros. Friendly Village which I have a ton of since I use them for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. I figure they can stay up all winter. 
I grew these decorative squash this summer. I always try to grow something that can be used in fall decorating. Normally I have tons of pumpkins that I can use in my fall decor. But this was a bad year for my pumpkins and zucchini. I’ve also grown corn in the past and then used the dried corn stalks. There are also plenty of flowers and vines that you can grow that can be dried and then used in your fall decorating. 
Basically I used what I had in my fall decorating box. I put some seed balls that I got at Goodwill in container with some wheat stalks in the middle.
And of course, a yellow mum from Lowe’s because the buffet is yellow (btw I got a bunch of shrubs and roses that were marked down to clearance at Lowe’s last weekend – so now is a good time to look if you need some shrubs).
Just a quick little decorating project to celebrate my favorite season!
Fall is looking good on your porch!
Love those friendly village plates! Our zucchini didn’t do well this year either, we didn’t get any pumpkins in this spring and I really miss having them. You are fortunate to be able to have such a long season to use the porch. It looks great!
I was in America in September a few years back, I have never seen so many pumpkins in my life they were everywhere you never see them here much.

Your outdoor buffet looks beautiful for Fall, Manuela! My daughter has plans for getting some shrubs to do a bed; I’ll tell her to check out Lowe’s first. Hoping to pick up some mums for myself before this weekend.
Lookin’ good:) I am about ready! Lots of you have gotten a jump on the Fall decor! I am trying:) Have a blessed day my friend, HUGS!
I love that porch of yours! Always has been one of my fav things at your place.

Your Fall vignette is very pretty! Makes me want to redo mine. 😀
Could not eat outside here, even tho is is cooler – squirrels dropping hickory net shells. :(!
Looks wonderful and you still have a bit of room to set the food down. Good tip about Lowe’s. Perhaps I’ll make a run in tomorrow.
So cute! I need to get my act together 🙂
What a welcoming setting for your friends and family to enjoy in the coming days. I am still in the beginnings of my Fall decorating and your post is such an inspiration!
Thank you for sharing!

Okay, you gave me a good idea with that Friendly Village cup. 🙂
I’m waiting for a phone call saying hubby is back in town and I need to pick him up. He took the shuttle home from the airport in “The City”.
Otherwise, I’d be out in the garage right now getting my autumn decorations box down. Such inspiration!
So pretty! Love how it all came together! I use the Friendly Village dishes throughout the season, too!
Love your decorating! The outside buffet is charming!
Wow, looks great, love the squash in the glass jar. Great plates on the wall too. The yellow mums are really popping too.
I love these quick little projects that spruce up for the seasons! The plate idea is great. I just did my porch today and it makes me so happy!
Your buffet looks very festive and ready for Fall. I love the plates that you’ve put on the wall and the gourds in the apothecary jar look wonderful. Very pretty!
Hugs, Cindy
Looks beautiful!

Looks great!
This is such a great spot, such great fall decor! I’m envious of your covered porch. It would be nice to decorate outside without everything getting messy. Thanks for the Lowe’s tip! I still haven’t used my $20 coupon, so it’s a good time to go! Have a great week Manuela!
Cheers, Andrea
Hi Manuela,
Your fall decorations look very pretty and welcoming. Having an enclosed porch is so handy.
Have a good week

Gorgeous! Wanna come over and help me with my fall decorating?!
Hi Manuela, I love it. Love those plates. We usually grow indian corn, pumpkins, gourds…but this year got away from us with our daughter’s wedding, etc. Oh well. Your post is lovely as usual! Blessings,
Debbie
Hi Manuela, so nice to pop over here after being away so long. I spotted your comment on another site and recognized your name right away.
So glad to follow the link and reconnect.
Beautiful post and photos. Great ideas for Fall.
Take care, Lisa
Lovely as always! I love those Friendly Village plates…I may have to start collecting them! I like the idea of using them for Thanksgiving dinner!
Thanks for the reminder about Lowe’s – I bet other places are clearancing plants too!
Happy Autumn…almost!
What a lovely update of your porch buffet, Manuela! Very seasonal and welcoming.
Pretty, pretty. I am coveting those plates!!! Clarice
