Fall Mantel 2015

Delicious Autumn!  

My very soul is wedded to it and if I were a bird, 

I would fly about the Earth 

seeking the successive Autumns.

-George Eliot

I love that quote as it pretty much

sums up how much I love Fall!

It's about time I shared this year's mantel with you....

I put together a rather simple mantel this year.

I made the hydrangea wreath myself.

I bought a burlap covered straw wreath at Joanns.

Then I just glued some pretty fall colored hydrangeas to it,

as well as some leaves here and there.  I topped it off with a simple

bow and that was it...very simple & very quick!

I scattered some pine cones around.

I couldn't resist & added a strand of lights.

I have to say, now that it's getting dark earlier in the evening,

I do enjoy watching TV with the lights lit.

It adds such a warm glow to the mantel and the living room.

I filled a pretty basket with some fall goodies

to add a little something extra to the hearth.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my mantel today.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
