Primping My Bike For Fall
September 27, 2012
If you followed my blog over the summer you have seen my white spray painted vintage bike.
Today I primped my bike for autumn.
The dried plant in the watering can sitting in the bike's basket is my Baby Tut grass. Also in the basket are assorted gourds and mini pumpkins.
A couple large pumpkins in galvanized buckets, a sign and a daisy round out my display.
The bike will be going in the shed in about a month. Before our looooooonnnnnnnggggg Minnesota winter!
Sharing is caring
This is just plain adorable! I can see it with Santa on it also for winter...but I guess all that cold and snow isn't good for the bike!

Carlene, that is so cute and festive! Love the addition of buckets with pumpkins in them. laurie
ReplyDeleteVery nice Carlene, it is so festive. I was in Mn. once in February and I know how cold it gets up there. I live in Georgia where doesn't snow very often.

Carlene, I love your old bike. I have one that someone painted pink some decades ago! I can't figure out how a pink bike can be spruced up for Fall, but maybe some white pumpkins would work. Thanks for the inspiration! Jean
ReplyDeleteLove the bike decorated for fall !
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it! Great use of pumpkins and gourds. The pictures really made me smile and think about how much I love fall.

It looks darling! I have a very similar bike and have been tempted to paint it, but just couldn't decide whether to do it or not, but yours looks wonderful in all seasons!

Oh how lovely is your junk, Carlene! Everything is so orderly and well put together. I guess there is a reason for your blog name! This is really a treat for the eyes!

Oh it is primped perfectly. We are going to be over a 100 again this weekend. I cannot remember a longer hotter summer for us.
ReplyDeleteHi Carlene: Bike looks great. You were so lucky to find a girls bike. Good idea to put it up for the winter, I've left mine (boys) out during the past two winters and it has taken it's toll on it. It's going inside this year..Happy Thursday..Judy
ReplyDeleteYour bike display is perfect for this time of year! I don't even want to think of what's coming. Did you have snow last Friday, too?
ReplyDeleteLove it! Looked great this summer and looks super cute now! I can't wait until it cools off her and I can have pumpkins outside!! So cute.
ReplyDeleteShe is sure looking good...all dresed up for the Fall season! You really do need to put her away in just a month?

That looks so cute--I love the bike, so charming!
ReplyDeleteYour bike looks great and those huge pumpkins are so funny sitting on top of the buckets--they really make me happy :) I love your buckets too! Linda
ReplyDeleteYour bike is so cute. I have been looking for one, too...an olden one, like yours. I had a 10 speed but gave it to one of the grands to use for going from class to class on the college campus.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have it all decorated..and I see fall leaves there. Ours here in West Texas are still green. :)
I am loveing this. The bike is adorable and I love the sunflower and the pumkins. Great vignette for your bike.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute display you've created with your bike! I'm going to pin that photo and I think it belongs in a magazine!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, Carlene--I love how the orange of the gourds looks against the white of the bike! Lovely outdoor autumn decor.
ReplyDeleteYour bike looks so festive! Love the pumpkins on the buckets. I may have to borrow that idea!
ReplyDeleteI love it Carlene! I should paint my bike. Yours is wonderful dressed for Fall!
ReplyDeleteLove the bike all decorated for Fall!! So cute and charming!! I've been looking for a bike for my flower garden at the thrift shops and flea market.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found your blog...I'm a new follower.

Love this look! After seeing your bike earlier in the year, I've tried to find one that didn't cost an arm and a leg. So far, I haven't found one but not giving up the hunt! I just love the way you use yours!
