Burlap, Pumpkins & Berries

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

  24. I have been looking at a lot of fall decorating, but not commenting because they are not inspiring. Pretty, but simple. Yours, well it is inspiring, pretty and I love it enough to comment of it's beauty.

  33. Lovely 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.
