~~~My Fall Mantle!!!~~~

Hi everyone! I am excited to show you my Fall mantle cause I love how it turned out! I wanted it to be FULL of Fall goodness and that is what it looks like to me. I have used a large berry garland, vases with orange stems, 2 blue and white jars and acorns and candles! I think the combination of orange and blue and white is FABULOUS! They are opposite on the color wheel so that works for me! Come see. This is my view from the kitchen in the morning when the sun is streaming in!

 I used 2 sparkly pumpkins on the ends and the yellow ceramic one in the middle.

 I placed 2 brown glass pumpkins on candle sticks. They have flameless votives in them for at night.

 I love the large fauz acorns, they are all over here! A few years ago I went crazy for acorns.

 The arrangements are a bush of the small flowers that acts like a base and then the other stems can be added. I love the Chinese lantern flowers!  I have had them in my stash for a long time and never used them before. Then I added some sticks for height and drama:)

 I placed my leaf pillow on the chair by the fireplace and added a sunflower pick to the vase of greens.

 I took these night shots the other night, but now I have added mini orange lights all along the garland. I will try to add a picture of that tomorrow:)

 I got this berry garland several years ago where I worked and it has held up very well.

 Another shot from the kitchen.

~~~My Mantle Dressed For Fall!!!!~~~

Hi everyone! I decided I would join Leyla at The Lettered Cottage for her It's Fall Y'ALL Mantle party! Go on over and see ALL of the beautiful Fall mantles that are linked up! You can find it at: http://www.theletteredcottage.blogspot.com/   This first picture I took with out the lamps on but just the overhead spots.

 I don't remove everything that lives on the mantle the rest of the year. I just added the gorgeous berry garland, the brown glass pumpkins placed on candlesticks and the arrangement in the center that I made. I also added some pumpkins and acorns and gourds to the berry garland.

 The garland is LUSH and full! I love it and have had it for several years.

 I took the bottom felt off the glass pumpkins so I could place a small battery tea light inside. They flicker and look so pretty at night.

 I thought the pics might be coming out too dark so turned on the flash for a few pictures. I don't care for this but thought it would give you a better look.

 The pumpkin that is the top of the arrangement is beaded, have to have a little SPARKLE!!!

 I love this pretty handled urn that I did the arrangement in. The colors are perfect for Fall!

 This is a VERY simple arrangement to do. But it makes a pretty statement, don't you think?

So, hope you have enjoyed seeing my mantle. I am leaving in the morning for 5 days at the beach with 8 other friends so won't be around. I will be back posting on Sunday!!! Thanks so much for stopping by! XO, Pinky
