Fall Blues. Wait, not orange?

When you think october do you think happy orange pumpkins? Bright red leaves? Sweet brown acorns? Bonfires? Blue accents? Wait, did I just say blue accents? Why yes, yes I did. Blue is a GREAT complimenting color to all of these warm tones. 

Help your warm tone, fall decor stand out!

Here are some samples. ;)

Have you gone thrifting lately? What did you find? 

What is your best thrift store find?
My best find would probably be a piece of furniture. I love finding those well made sturdy pieces of furniture. :)
