Happy Autumn My Friends! Autumn always begins with subtle changes and I’m just like Autumn, I’ve only made a few changes so far. But I can say my mantel shelf in the living room is ready for fall.
This year I decorated more of a rustic feel on the mantel shelf. I used a twig garland that had berries with white and orange pumpkins on it. I added pine cones and made burlap bows.
On one side of the mantel shelf, I have one of my roosters.
And on the other side I have an urn.
I made a mini twig wreath using the berry garland and placed it on top of the urn and added a white lantern. The candle I used inside the lantern is battery operated. I love those candles!
I like most of you, love this time of year!
As always, thanks for stopping by and Autumn Blessings to you,
Gail

great idea for the burlap bows. Love the clock place over the old wood..looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Gail! I just love it! And, you and I both have burlap on our brains because I used it, too, in my garland on the mantel. Love the natural rustic elements it brings! And, great idea perching the lantern on top of your vase!

ReplyDeleteLovely display Gail! My favorite and what caught my attention is how the clock is on the old wood piece. I actually have a wood piece very similiar that hubby made from a pallet. I just may have to copy this idea. Found you at 2805. Love the roo and the burlap mixed in.
