Fall Abundance

Hello Everyone, 

During the month of  September I had a bit of Fall on the mantel.
 Some books, a duck carved by our son, a little pumpkin and a mirror hanging on the fireplace.
The mirror is a very important part of this story.  

 A little bit of Fall 

 I love old books. My father gave me the dictionary in 1960 for Christmas. And the thin red and gray books are collections of poems written by my husband's grandfather.

A couple of weeks ago my Sweetheart bought a new 47" wide screen television. We had an old fashioned one for a long time sitting on an entertainment center to the right of the fireplace. Well, the NEW television is mounted on the right side of the fireplace on the brick... The moral of the story is the NEW television was not mounted on the front of the fireplace. Thank the Lord. But, I did lose about 10" of mantel space on the right end.  The mirror was out of balance and I had to find something smaller. I found this wooden plaque at TM and I moved my decor on the mantel over 10" on each side toward the center. I like the tight look.

Our new television is wonderful for our old eyes.
 I can see the stats of the baseball game in the corner of the screen now.

Without the reflection of the mirror my photographs have a new crispness and bright color.

 I placed a cornucopia at each end of the mantel and used an abundance of Fall accessories to fill in the center space under the wooden plaque.

 Candles and Indian corn are so traditionally Fall.

I will be adding more Thanksgiving decor next month.
 Mr and Mrs Pilgrim will be visiting My Cozy Corner in November
