Fall Touches on the Mantel Shelf

Hello Everyone!  The weather here in Southern Maryland this past week has been absolutely gorgeous!!  I was finding it hard to spend time inside because of it but I did manage to do a little fall decorating inside.  I finally finished tweaking the mantel shelf in the living room this morning.

Each year and with every season I try and change things up on the mantel shelf.   This year for fall, I flanked each end of the mantel shelf with  black urns and made faux eucalyptus swags.   In this urn, I placed a white pumpkin with berries.

And on the other end, I placed faux wheat with berries in the urn.

  The weather forecast for the next couple days is rain so I’ll be working inside adding more fall touches.

As always, thanks for stopping by and your sweet comments.  I hope you all have a wonderful week. 

Gail

  1. Your mantel shelf looks beautiful, Gail! Love both the urns! I think we are having the same weather as you. We had a beautiful weekend and rain is in the forecast for tomorrow. Hopefully, it will hold off another day ~ I'm enjoying these cooler temps too much!

  38. I am stopping by after seeing you featured over at Marty's. Your mantel is just gorgeous. I am in love with the burlap bows. I make bows for my Christmas mantel, but never thought of doing it for fall. I am pinning this photo and may be adding it to my mantel too. I would love for you to link up to my Fall into Fall party tomorrow night (it opens at 8pm EST). Hope to see you then.

    Hugs,
