Fall Mantel Before and After

Hi everyone,

I've been slow posting this past couple of weeks. 

Hubby and I attended our son's wedding in September 

and took a little vacation to where my father was born in 1917.

We stopped in Laughlin Nev. and then we drove to

Oatman AZ.  Go Here to see the ghost town.

All I can say is that the experience was a hoot.

Before I left for our trip, I did my fall decorating. 

I bought new pillows for the sofa and 

decorated the mantel for fall.

This summer was so busy I didn't have a chance to 

share my summer mantel.  I love my plates and birds.

Now it's time for fall, and I love this year's look.

I finally found some pumpkin plates at TJMaxx.

I wanted to keep the mantel simple.  The orange 

and different shades of autumn colors enhance

the color my brick fireplace. 

Decorating my mantel is always a joy.  I love the 

beautiful velvet pumpkin. Soft and colorful

is perfect for my simple look.

Last year I bought the jar jewelry for my mason jars.

Go Here

I stored them away in my stash and this year I 

fluffed them up a bit and sat them on the mantel.

October is going to be a busy one for this old lady.
Next week I will be entertaining my church
Altar Guild for tea and my sweet sister
is coming for a visit too. Sister Time.
Thank you for visiting.
Joyously,
Betty
