A Mantel for Fall

September 17, 2012 by Angie 31 Comments

Hello Monday! How nice to see you again!
The weather here is beautiful this week even as the leaves are turning colour.
I am working on creating touches of fall around the house still…sprinkling a little bit here and there.
 
I have to say that the ‘mantel’ is one of my favourite areas to decorate…even though it takes me a little while to ‘play’ with it until I get it just so.
This mantel started with the yellow sunflowers….with white and brown as the main colours and some orange added in.
I added in my grandmother’s knitting basket filled with pine cones, along with some wool carders that belonged to my great grandparents and are over 100 years old.
I love the mix of old and new together.
I cannot wait to see all of the fall decorating that will be happening around blogland in the next few weeks.
We bloggers are such a crazy talented bunch!

    Great mix of light and dark, new and old! That mirror is always a gorgeous centrepiece, too. Are you gourds real or fake? They look so lush!

    Very Cute! I really want that white owl {no, really – can you tell me where you got it?}. Great job on your mantle. I love that you included the vintage/antique items from your grandparents – like you said, the mixture of the old and knew makes it special.

    P.S. Found you at Nifty Thrifty!

    I am totally fascinated by all this seasonal decorating that goes on in the US. We don't really get into this in the UK unless it's Christmas.
