My fall mantle is up.
Figured I should show it to you since it’s almost time for a Christmas mantle.
Forgive the highly reflective tile.
Break down:
Fall colored leaf/mini pumpkin garlands purchased last year at Michael’s for $10.
Small wood table and cheese dome are Pottery Barn purchases from years ago.
The tall cylindric glass vase is Joey’s moms.
The bird candlestick was a gift from my mom while she was visiting for Leo’s birthday.
The black twine holder was found at the Rose Bowl Flea Market for $10 a couple years back.
The Hope was a Target find long before it became synonymous with Obama’s 2008 election campaign.
The scarecrow was given to Leo as a free gift with purchase at a garage sale. Wtf, right?! Haha.
The pumpkins, gourds and wheat were purchased at Safeway for $20.
I feel like it needs a little something else but can’t put my finger on it.
The first photo is what you put on a blog; this one is reality.
Toys and fire place blocker. Yup, I’m the mom of a one year old.
Have you decorated for fall?
Update: I noticed that the scarecrow mentioned is strangely AWOL. No idea where it went.
