Fall Mantle

Last year I made a monthly garland to hang on the mantle. I made one every month, September through June and then grew tired of making them. I have another idea regarding what to hang on those hooks, but it involves stitching and will take some time. I've decided to pass on the garlands and focus on decorating the mantle 5-6 times a year. Winter, spring, maybe Easter seperate from Spring, Fourth of July/summer, autumn and Christmas.  I present to you my fall mantle;

 

I'm very happy with it. I found the glass container in the clearance section at Walmart late winter, early spring, the filler for the jar came from Joanns, the pumpkins all came from Walmart, the Coleman lamp is my father's, FALL and the garland came from Hobby Lobby, I already had the candle sticks and bought candles from Hobby Lobby. I also got small hay bales which you can't see at Hobby Lobby to lift the sign and two pumpkins. I'm now set for two and a half months!
