FALL BASKET IDEA FOR THE ENTRY
Welcome to this month’s Pinterest Challenge. This month has all the fall feels in a basket. I loved this challenge because it includes two of my favorite things- pumpkins and baskets.
I had a Goodwill basket find that was perfect for a fall basket idea for the entry.
This summer I discovered the treasures at Goodwill.
I found this picnic basket this summer and was waiting for inspiration. That is what I love about these challenges- they motivate me.
FALL BASKET IDEA FOR THE ENTRY
I am always ready for fall by mid-August. And this photo makes me think of warm and cozy- even in August.
This fall inspiration is from Janelle and her blog. Her fall basket includes the following:
- pumpkins
- wood chargers
- blanket (in the basket)
- wheat bundles
I knew I wanted to use this picnic basket and just removed (and stored) the wicker basket’s lid.
When I assembled the fall basket it was like packing a grocery bag. I considered the weight and placement of the pumpkins. Instead of wheat bundles, I went with these fall stems from Hobby Lobby.
With the floral stems anchored in the middle, I had a strong base.
From there I used a variety of pumpkins with different colors and textures.
I tried my hardest to stay with muted tones, but I had to add a little pop of color.
I planned this fall basket for our hearth, but the textures between the basket and the stone were too busy.
That’s when I set my eyes on our entry table.
Recently, I moved a desk (from the college at home year) to our entry. If you remember I have this Pottery Barn piece in the entry. The desk is a nice place to drop the mail before I sort and I decided an oversize basket with a side lamp was a way to welcome fall in from the front door.
I love this fall basket challenge.
Thank you for stopping by today. I would love it if you pinned this fall basket.

tHANK YOU NIKI! It was a great find!
So cute! Now your entry is all ready for the new season:)
Laura, I thought I’d left a comment but it doesn’t show, so… I will try again. 🙂 I love your new-to-you picnic basket from Goodwill. They do have a lot of nice things at Goodwill and thrift-shopping has been a favorite hobby of mine ever since I married.
Love how your basket turned out with the fall grasses and the sweet pumpkins!
Big hugs,

Love your fall picnic basket overflowing with pumpkins and fall grasses, Laura! And the chargers under the lamp were a cute way to use them! Pinned!
Such a pretty assortment of pumpkins and the picnic basket is perfect for this challenge. Well done and so pretty.
Lovely fall basket vignette, Laura. The basket is awesome by itself. It’s great when we know we can move an arrangement to a better place. The basket really stood out on the entry table. Good choice.
Laura, your little Fall decorated picnic basket is just darling! What a fun find!
I’m still in summer mode but I’m sure fall vibes will be coming soon!
Hi Laura, I’m like you, ready for fall by mid August. Love your basket with pumpkins. I’ve started decorating and it can easily get out of hand. Love the simple look of your basket filled with pumpkins. Thanks for coming by. Have a relaxing weekend!
Your goodwill basket is the perfect place for pumpkins and stems. Love the colors you used too. Pinned!
Laura,
You fall basket is just stunning. Sorry for the delay in commenting. I somehow skipped a few of the posts that first day.
Thank you Rachel!
