  1. Choose your crock. Let aged stoneware, worn glaze, and simple shapes set the mood.
  2. Build a loose base. Tuck crumpled kraft paper inside to support stems without gluing.
  3. Add autumn stems. Start tall in the back. Layer sweet Annie, berries, and dried blooms.
  4. Gather around it. Add small pumpkins, old books, and a crow. Leave room for each piece.

CCD styling tip: Keep the colors muted and the arrangement a little imperfect. Let the crock’s history shine.
