Hello Everyone! I feel as if I am so far behind in sharing my fall decorating this year. And because of that, I have missed a lot of bloggers fall parties. Between my booth at Unique House of Antiques and the newest addition to our family, Harley, (you can read about him here) I have been busy! Today, I thought I would at least share my fall mantel shelf in the family room.
This year, I decided not to do pumpkin topiaries. Instead, I flanked each end of the mantel shelf with a pair of lanterns and the faux eucalyptus swags that I made last year.
I placed magnolia leaves inside the lanterns that I clipped from our magnolia tree.
It’s hard to believe that I purchased this mantel shelf at an auction many years ago for $1. And to this day I still LOVE my $1 purchase.
As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful week.
Gail

Gail your Fall mantel looks beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I love your $1. Love the look and it is so pretty. Good job.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Just love your mantel!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to seeing how you decorate your shelf/mantel and am so glad you shared your fall 2013 look. The lanterns are wonderful along with the magnolia leaves and burlap bows, a nice change from pumpkins and yet looks very fall-ish. I can't believe you only paid $1 for your shelf! In some ways, I think it is better than a mantel - more compact which adds drama - or maybe it is how well you decorate it! Always looks wonderful!
