Been a crazy hectic weekend if you been reading.
Glad to have you here this week for the newbie party.
Finally my Fall mantel is complete!
I took some different elements from my inspiration a few weeks back you may recall.
I loved the live greenery, which I have a plenty of in our backyard.
And I loved the twigs which I have had this vine for years and never used it.
Glad I hold onto things...
I also loved the fullness of this last one...
So this is what I came up with....
This stuff (vine) is not fun to work with, finally figured it out!
Also, this old sessions clock is always a decorating dilemma.
You see my husband loves this clock he purchased off of ebay several years ago.
The one time I moved it to decorate the Christmas mantel, the leg broke.
Since then, I am forbidden to move it.

Lots of Fall packed on this mantel...
you know I am not a sparse person!
Look I have my white pumpkins...FAUX of course, I could not wait another second!
Just playing with my pics now....
Our family room is ready for Fall!
The clock seems to work in OK..I suppose there is no choice...unless it accidentally falls off the mantel,
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...JK, I am not that evil! really
Now onto Halloween soon.....
Although, I am just showing this to you now, I have had my Fall mantel up for a while, so we did get to enjoy it.
Halloween is my fun one!
Enjoy the season!

That is so beautiful and autumn looking! You did a fantastic job transforming the mantel.
Your mantel is beautiful Debbie! Nice job on it!

You did it again - out done yourself, that is. That grapevine does not look easy to work with, but you showed it who's the boss! Thanks for hosting the party, always so fun to see what everyone is up to.
Very Pretty - and I like the clock in with the Fall decor. So far no Fall decorations here - maybe soon. I bet your son is really excited about their big win. :D
Your mantel looks great! I wish my TV niche wasn't above mine so I could properly decorate it for Fall!!
Looking good!
Debbie, I absolutely love your mantle. You did a great job creating a beautiful Autumn vignette. I love the vine and the fullness on the other side of the mantle, simply GORGEOUS!! Thanks for sharing, it's such a treat! XO ~Liz
Debbie, I love the twirly crispy vine! The rhythmic movement it provides is stimulating to my senses and keep smy eye wandering around your whole display. Divine! andrea@ townandprairie
What a GOREGOUS mantle Debbie. I love the autumn colors but I don't decorate, redecorate I mean, until Christmas.
Have a beautiful week.
TTFN ~

Great job. You room looks so cozy and comfy now.
Beautiful mantel Debbie. I love the vine you used and it is not easy to work with. I wrapped a Christmas Tree with it one year, yah, a little nuts. And the clock fits in nicely.
Marianne :)
Debbie, your mantel looks spectacular. Thanks for being an awesome host. I can only link up to the Newbie Party one more time after this. Where did the time go?
Your mantel turned out so lovely and I especially like the glittery pumpkin! Thanks again for hosting the party:)
Beautiful fall mantel! I love the twiggy vine especially. I think your hubby's mantel clock fits in well :o) My dad is a clock master, so I LOVE to hear the clocks chime and strike when we are visiting... He sets the ones that he restores, repairs or cleans for his customers to chime and strike at various times in his basement workshop.
Blessings & Aloha!
Thank you so much my dear friend for popping over! You are so very sweet! I had to laugh at your comment about "marrying off" your son already :o) Our kids like to bring up the fact that my hubby and I were so young when we married...and I can see why my dad made me give back the ring & wait for at least another year! Sheeesh...we were mere babies, but of course, felt sooo much older! haha Hugs to you my friend!
That vine might have been a pain to work with but it looks great!! Love you fall mantel Debbie! Martina
I really like how you used the grapevine mixed with greenery in your fall decorations. I hadn't thought of that before! Hope you're getting some rest now after your weekend away.
Your mantel looks so pretty! I love the fall/winter seasons and all the holidays:) I can't wait to start decorating for Xmas!!!
Maybe the clock could have a little accident while you're innocently dusting around it:)
Your mantel is beautiful, Debbie. I actually love the clock there and it's gorgeous. No wonder your hubby likes it....Christine
It's "gawegeous!" ;) I actually like the clock with your fall decor. You did a fabulous job!
Heather
Your fall mantel looks absolutely stunning...not that we'd expect anything less from you!! Great job! Happy Fall!!
Debbie, thanks for hosting the newbie party again. Your mantel is gorgeous! Love your use of the natural materials!
I love it! I love the twigs especially & I think you worked around the clock perfectly. Nice job!
Your autumn mantle is looking gorgeous....I love how you added the twigs and vine... it creates wonderful texture and colors and the grouping of white pumpkins on the hearth looking so pretty...inspiring fall decor! Thanks for letting us take a peek at it and for this awesome party each week. Have a great week ahead~Poppy

Love your mantel! It's so full and there are so many places for your eye to rest. Great job! Thanks for sharing.
Love your beautiful mantel, Debbie! I love your clock, too. You always do a great job with your mantels!
You have outdone yourself on this one! Love that twiggy stuff. Seriously gorgeous!
Debbie, your mantle looks awesome! I love how you took elements of all the ones you loved and created your own! I remember the super lush one from RMS. Does that person have a blog,do you know? Her mantles were always gorgeous, but yours tops it! The clock works perfectly in there!
Love your mantle Debbie...so pretty!
So, so beautiful Debbie! You do such a great job of incorporating so many different textures and that grapevine is just gorgeous!
Vanessa
Of course I love your fall mantel and family room! All of your decorations just look great together! You've got the touch!!
Your mantel looks very pretty, Debbie! I love using faux pumpkins to decorate as there is no chance of a mess from spoliage.
Autumn is my favorite time of year. You embrace it beautifully. I also want to tell you how lovely I think it is that you always leave a personal comment to what I post on the newbie party.
Thank You for your kindness and support.
Sincerely. Susan
Your autumn decorating is stunning... I liked each and every element, and loved the playing you did with your camera. Thanks for sharing such an inspiring post and hosting the party for us newbies ":o)

I can have an early fall feel looking in your decoration. The white pumpkins are pretty. I've a passion of pumpkins. The color and hardness will last long and all that remind me my favour season's approaching. Your mantel is absolutely inspiring us.
Very pretty Debbie! I'd say you handled that grapevine beautifully. Love the longer shot of your den. Very warm and fallish!
Your vines are gorgeous! Love your mantle. Thank you so much for encouraging new bloggers like me....so appreciative! Blessings, Audrey
Oh I just love your fall decor! I hope you will add your lovely metamorphosis to my Fall in Love linky party on Wednesday.

OOO, Debbie Doo...I think your (ok, hubby's) clock adds a lot of character to your mantel. Probably no one else has one JUST like it and I love that element in ANYthing.
You mantel is just to die for. I love it. I still have summery things out on my mantels...going to work on that today, I THINK. I am using whites...:)
Looks gorgeous....you really out did yourself!
Love that mantel.I like the clock there!
I love it Debbie! The natural elements really stand out.
Even though I am a food blogger, I love coming here to see all the great ideas for decorating and crafts. Today I bring Surprise Meat Loaf. This a great comfort dish for this time of year and stretches 1 1/2 lbs. of ground beef to serve 8 to 10. Thanks as always for hosting this great party. What a service it is to us newbies. Have a wonderful week.
I love this curly vine!! So falli-ish. I am stiull waiting for the colors to come to east Tennessee, but having all these wonderful ideas to look at before hand is awesome!
Always, thanks for hosting
