Harvest time is a great time of year to add a little color to your home before the gray winter months. There are many other options besides the well placed pumpkin or gourd around the house. You can make a great wreath or centerpiece from autumn leaves. Collect an assortment of colorful leaves after they've fallen. Carefully wash them. Dip your leaves in melted cake parafin and let them dry thoughly. The parafin will preserve the leaves and they should last for a long time. The leaves can then be arranged in whatever pattern you choose and tied together with thread or wire. Not that creative? The Granary has a great selection of harvest colored flower arrangements and decorations. We also have a huge selection of pictures to add a seasonal look to any room in your home. Keep the scents of autumn in your home with a pumpkin spice cake candle. The decorating possibilites are endless when you let The Granary help with your harvest decorating!
