Thanksgiving Week - Come Decorate With Me 2021 Part 1- The Mantel

 Hi Friends,

Today, I'm trying to get out some of my vintage Thanksgiving decorations for the up coming weekend. 

   I have a few vintage to me, pieces, that I have been using in my Thanksgiving décor for twenty years.

So I have gathered my favorite thrifted go to treasures for Thanksgiving

***

I have had the cornucopia's for years, that I picked up at a goodwill, along with the harvest food.

This year I have been using book for risers and I'm loving the Spanish moss this year also as I'm sure you haven't noticed I have it every where.

The amber bottles are new this year along with star pattern wreath.

Now for some of my new finds this year.  The last couple of months I've been really focused on searching for vintage turkeys, and copper, this is what I have gathered this year so far.

So what do you think of my added semi vintage turkey figurines?  It's a start I'll continue to keep a eye out in the coming year

Thank you for checking in to see what's been going on at my house this season.

May God Bless You and Your Family!

DIY Pine Cone Garland for the Winter Mantel

I had been thinking about making this DIY pine cone garland project for some time.  I had been collecting pine cones for a while and had a good stash of pine cones for this project.

  Using jute string from Dollar Tree, I measured the length of the mantel, spaced out the pine cones to about 4-5" apart and hot glue the pine cones to the jute string.

I thought the cones didn't make a statement I was looking, they were to small

So I used a larger pine cone, hot glued the pine cone to another piece of jute string after measuring the length of the mantel.

I believe by adding the larger pine cone garland, has improved the over all look of the mantel.

Thank you for checking back for another DIY project.  Let me know, Do you use pine cones in your winter decor or use them all year round?

So until the next project, 

take care,

Winter Pine Cone Wreath Project For my Mantel

I have always incorporated pine cone into my Fall, Christmas and winter decor as filler, but this year I have decided to go a bit further by making a few pine cone projects to add to my winter decor.

I always have a bag of pine cones on hand for craft projects. 

I used a willow wreath from Dollar Store, my glue gun and a stash of pine cones 

I used some ribbons I had on hand and tried to make a crazy bow like Tracy at crazy bow

The bow was easy to make, but in my opinion, I need more practice making this style of bow.

Hope you enjoyed this diy Pine Cone Wreath project using items from nature, in my winter decor.

Thanks for stopping by, until the next project.
