Casual autumn centerpieces

 This week is a particularly busy one around my home. With piano, football, school functions, scout popcorn, we have been running from place to place so I set out flowers and we have been improvising tablescapes around them.
 Dahlias for our 1940's table (which matches our 1940's style home).


On a shelf in our living room I put together this simple little vignette.
 The little jar is full of pretty little bits of potpourri.
 And I came across white acorn squash. I am not one to spend much money on decor, so I love when I can find fun seasonal things that can be used as well as enjoyed. Squash makes such wonderful meals in the fall. One of our favorite recipes can be found here:  Stuffed Squash

Obviously I'm not the first to have not seen white acorn squash. Pretty cool. Love the dahlias too!

Thanks so much for being a part of Seasonal Sundays. Sorry I'm so late getting around to everyone, but it was a VERY busy weekend.
