Strange and beautiful. That's my words to describe this wreath I spotted at the Grayslake Antique Fair and
Flea Market this past weekend. The colors are your typical autumn reds, greens and a touch of bronze. And there's a feather at the bottom. A pheasant feather, which has been showing up in autumn decor the last few years. But there's something more. The body of the pheasant.


 Here's a closer view. Strange, yes. Also quite pretty. Look at the gorgeous colors on the body of that bird. Greens and blues muddled with the brown and gold--simply gorgeous! This wreath didn't make it home with me. It was a bit pricey at $125 and the bird would not have held up well on my front door facing the elements.

I admired it all the same and the vendor didn't mind me taking a picture to share. What do you think of this most unique Thanksgiving wreath?

There were so many fabulous links last week I decided to feature five of them today. Sometimes I feature one link, most times I feature 2-3 and this week, it's five!

With Thanksgiving just about two weeks away, you'll definitely find this tablescape from Nancy's Daily Dish full of inspiration. The gorgeous transferware dishes are layered upon other sets and mixed with grapevine, pine cones and other warm elements sure to give you some great ideas for your own Thanksgiving table.

This beautiful nursery makeover looks straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog. Actually, I think it even looks better than that! I love all the calm color and wait until you see the cute school-house inspired custom chalkboard Kristine at The Painted Hive has made.


This link caught my eye because of the adorable packaging. I really like the simplicity of the baker's twine in holiday red. I am always looking for small gifts and stocking stuffers and this tutorial for a salt scrub fits the bill! Check out the "how-to" at Bliss Images and Beyond



This beautiful hutch didn't start out as such. It was black and brown and not nearly what it has become under the talented hand of Minday at Pretty in Paint.



 This link is about the floor transformation (painted white) but there is so much more to see. The styling in the room is gorgeous. The crochet throw is what made me click! See all the beautiful details over at Lilies for Kate!

For some reason, I always seem to take down the Halloween decor really quickly. I have reverted back to basic fall touches in a few key spots in my home. This beautiful armoire is one of my favorite spots to decorate. For the next few weeks, it will sport "late fall slash peacock" style. I have been enamored with Peacock inspiration this fall; I have a Pinterest board devoted to it.



I think it's a nice addition to my fall decorations. The colors are so rich--a nice contrast to the warm oranges and yellows of fall.


A peacock feather added to my vase of pussy willows is so easy {with a new copper glittered fern giving nod to the coming holidays}. A clip-on bird in the same color family was another fun add on.


A clock from Home Goods that I've had for ages to add that essential bit of black that I love.
 


I've added a sprig of leaves for the touch of fall. The pretty ruffled knit throw was put there out of necessity when not being used. The goldens are way too interested in it and it's much safer up here.

They do look like little angels here but they do have their moments. One of their favorite indoor games is tug of war with an old baby blanket that Marley arrived with. Besides, I like how the throw looks up there!
