Fall Mantel 2011 Newbie party started!~

hey ,hey ,hey there, sorry I am late.
 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...

better known as Hoarder!

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!

Fall Mantel decorating ideas

Soon in the blogosphere we will be seeing lots of Fall Mantel decorating and inspiration. 

 Every year I like to change mine up and make it a bit different from the previous year. 

 Let me share last years, and also share some inspiration I have found from google searches. 

 Gotta love google, everything and more at your fingertips.

Well.....
 looking through my archives, I never did decorate my Mantel last year for Fall...hard to believe, but I went right into Halloween...weird, I know.

I love Halloween decorating...

This year I will be doing my Fall mantel, I have started just a tad...
here in the meantime is some inspiration  that caught my eye...

This one here is my favorite...

I have all this right in my backyard...minus the pumpkins of course...

(hooked on houses)

Simple, but classic.

I like the vine on this mantel, and I will try something like this myself...

this last one, is so full and pretty...



Well I hope this gave you some inspiration...I needed some myself!
I must get busy this year, or I will be into Halloween again..I don't want to miss the Fall Mantel parties that I am sure will be happening out here soon.
