A Fall Mantle

I stored all my Fall decorations in some Rubbermaid containers which made it nice and easy to know just where I had everything.  Taking everything out of the box I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with my Fall Mantle but when I finished I was quite pleased with how it all turned out.

I was at a rustic wedding recently (the wedding where  Zachary played his cello at and then had the major car accident on his way home) anyways, at this wedding they mixed rustic and refined looks together.

It gave me the idea to use this pretty little doiley on my rustic mantle.  The doiley was handmade and given to me by some recent guests of ours.  So nice!  I love the orange pitcher that’s sitting on it, too.  (just ignore the puzzle on the hearth, okay 🙂 )

Some closer looks…  I have the pitcher sitting on a couple of old books.  The grass in the pitcher came from the dollar store.  The arrangement on the far left was from the dollar store, I think, or if not, it was clearanced somewhere else for a very low price when I bought it last year.  Can’t remember.

And there you have it.  My Fall Mantle.

I’m linking up with The Lettered Cottage for their Fall Mantle Party.  See hundreds of fall mantles just by clicking on the link.  Be inspired! 🙂
