Fall flowers

We've been having the most amazing weather lately! It's been incredibly sunny for this time of year, and the leaves are starting to change colors. I'm loving all the reds and yellows... I tried to decorate our apartment accordingly, and I even bought myself a bright red shirt to match! :-D

One of my decorating projects comes from a Swedish craft book written by Josefin Ekman, who also writes the blog Dear Martha - go check it out! Anyway, this is another project that has that "reduce, reuse, recycle" feel to it:

Yes, those are tin cans! When I first read about this idea it seemed a bit odd to me, too. But I really like the result! You don't need a lot of flowers, either. The smallest one wasn't planned, I just has so many flowers left when I finished the other two that I decided to rummage through the cabinets for another can. I think the one in the middle is my favorite. Here it is displayed with some more fall goodies:

The candles in the picture come from the Yankee Candle Co. Their scented candles are amazing! I wish you could sniff them through the computer screen... I got Orchard Pear and Cafe au Lait because I thought they were fitting for fall.

Oh, and in case you're curious, here is Josefin's version of the flower tins - much prettier than mine but not very fall-like:

What do you think- cute craft of just crazy?
