Fall Mantle and Hearth 2018

I love decorating my mantle and hearth for the seasons. As much as I admire the beautiful, simple mantles out in blogland I just can't resist really doing it up:) I try to change things each year and am liking the arrangement I came up with this year. I brought out my berry garland and combined it with a leaf garland for a lush look.

I love this container. I made this arrangement last year I think.

I draped the berry garland down the left side of the mantle.

On the hearth I created this arrangement of velvet pumpkins and acorns. I added some berry stems and leaves too.

I had a few blue pine cones so added them to the mix as well.

At night the lights come on and the room almost glows.

I LOVE the carved wooden lanterns on the hearth and they will stay there.

A pumpkin stack, a glitter pumpkin, a glitter gourd and an Asian jar sit behind the garland.

Thanks so much for your visit. I am still praying for all the people who suffered loss during Florence. It is so sad.

Fall Coffee Table Vignette and New Pillows!

Before I get to the vignette I want to say I have spent all day feeling heartbroken over the massacre in Las Vegas. There are not sufficient words. I have cried many times as I am sure you all have. I pray for all the families of the victims. Now, here is the post: A few weeks ago I found these wonderful, blue pumpkin pillows at, of all places, Big Lots! I grabbed 2 quickly!! I knew I would love them in the living room. So, I made a vignette on the coffee table to compliment them. I paired them with my blue leopard print pillows.

The vignette started with this blue faux velvet pillow, perched on a tall blue candlestick.

I nestled the pumpkin on 2 candle rings; the greens one and a blue flowered one.

I wanted to bring something alive into the vignette, so added this African violet that is blooming so beautifully. Another blue "velvet" pumpkin sits next to the violet.

Some lavender from the yard is drying in a blue and white vase. The pagoda lantern has some Fall filler and a candle on a timer so it glows each evening.

This is a pillow cover from PB that I got 2 years ago.

Thanks for your visit!

XO, Pinky

Fall on the Mantle and Hearth

I was inspired by Pinterest this year in doing my mantle. I found a pin that had a beautiful garland hanging off the side of the mantle. I took it from there and this is what I created. I used this glass pumpkin on the left side. I am loving the glass pumpkins!

Many of you have seen this berry garland for many years, usually just draped across the mantle. I wound it together with a leaf garland then draped it down the side of the mantle.
