Autumn is Here - Decorate The Mantel With Me!

 Hi Friends,

The last couple of days I have been putting away summer décor, and thinking about my October displays. 

I have pulled out the fall bins.  Kept out some of the orangey red sunflowers and pip berries and thrifted glass jugs. 

my focus is the beautiful flying geese pewter tray on the mantel this Fall.

DIY hanger idea

I've kept the willow wreaths to be hung up next to the window frame

The vintage oval picture frame I paid a $1.00 at a local vintage/thrift store.  The print I found at Graphic Fairy free sunflower prints.

 I'm thinking amber bottles and a few of my dark brown crocks that I have thrifted this year.

Changing up the fireplace mantel by adding a few of my thrifted vintage cigar boxes for a rustic Fall vibe.

Last Summer

 I made this primitive felt crow for my Late-Summer Décor, I perched her in the willow wreath

I went back and added more floral to the vases 

A few pip berries poppy pods

Made it my own-Dollar Tree Scarecrow pick.

I used some fabric from a haul last month to make clothing for these cute little scarecrows added a little more stuffing and embellishment to make them my own. 

What do you think?

I kept the buffalo check garland and added a DT leaf color garland- yellow, green, red, orange

Fall memories growing up in the mid-west was the time to collect bitter-sweet, that grew on the fence line out on a country roads, our family would take a drive Saturday afternoon and pick wild bitter-sweet.

 in those days my mother also pick cattails for display. Now cattails are protected in my area.

 

Final touch is a spray for the top of the widow frame, I just use some twig and stems of red, orange, yellow-bitter sweet and use strips of cotton fabric to attach the sprig to the window frame

Let me know what you think? I'm I missing something?

Thank you so much for stopping by, I try and post every week with fun projects, thrift hauls or just enhancing my home décor for the seasons.

So.... until next time...........

May God Bless You and Your Family, I'm Vicki a Colorado Junkett!
