CHRISTMAS MANTEL

I finally got my mantel done-well maybe I will frame the painting over it-but anyway I wanted to join in the mantel parties. I am joining http://www.frommyfrontporchtoyours.blogspot.com  and http://www.myuncommonsliceofsuburbia.blogspot.com .

Lots of antlers-something I never thought I would use in my house! But I am really liking the natural look this year.

This is a painting I did a couple of years ago. I have a beautiful frame for it, but never got around to framing it-I really think I need to.I am also joining Marty for Tabletop Tuesday at http://www.astrollthrulife.blogspot.com

THANKSGIVING MANTEL

I thought I would share my fall mantel today before I take it down and start Christmas decorating. I love my brown glass trees with the white pumpkins.

Can I just tell you how I am dreading dragging all of that Christmas stuff out. I seriously need to get rid of about half of it- I never put it all out anyway. I think I have about 25 of those big storage tubs full-ridiculous!

I made this arrangement for my porch. It was white when I bought it. I sprayed it black and filled it with fall leaves and pumpkins.It won 1st place at our county fair and second at the state fair. I may put greenery and christmas balls in it for Christmas.I am joining Kim for Wow Us Wednesday at http://www.savvysouthernstyle.blogspot.com and http://www.bunnyjeansdecorandmore.blogspot.com  for her blog hop.

EARLY FALL MANTEL

I have had my fall mantel done for a while now, I didn't add too much as I will be changing it out for Halloween soon. I really like to decorate for Halloween and Thanksgiving but I just had to have a touch of fall before then! This is the mantel before with all my santos.

This is the after.I used my copper colored glass trees and they will probably show up in the Thanksgiving mantel too. And do you notice how much I love feathers!
