Today I would like to share my Fall Mantel with you.
Decorating my mantel is usually a huge challenge because of its size.
This year, however, it wasn't as stressful as it has been in the past.
Maybe after all these years, I'm finally getting the hang of it.
(Yeah right, wait until Christmas comes & watch as my confidence collapses!)
I have blue accents throughout the room so I really wanted
to incorporate a bit of blue into the mantel this year.
I found the blue pumpkins at Hobby Lobby and they
just so happened to be the perfect shade of blue
for my living room.
Don't you love it when that happens?
I bought the basket at an estate sale this summer.
I don't know what it is about it, but I love that basket.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
Happy Fall to you!
Happy Fall to you!
Your mantle is so pretty, Gina. I love the blue pumpkins and your pretty little basket. Thanks for stopping by this morning and leaving me the sweet comment on PW's Comfort Meatballs. I think you do need to try them. We have really liked most, if not all, of the PW's dishes. I keep hoping one day I'll win a drawing to go spend the weekend at the ranch with her. Have a blessed day!

Your fall decorations look wonderful. I am inspired to do my bookcase top, which is my "mantel". I visited your home tour at Debbiedoos, your home is so wonderful. I have the day off today and looking at your blog this morning has been my inspiration to do a project or two.

It is very pretty. Love the blue and love the symmetry. I sometimes wish I hadn't agreed to a flatscreen TV over my fireplace :(
