My Thanksgiving Mantel

It has been a busy week trying to

get all of Halloween put away and

decorate for Thanksgiving.

Even Thanksgiving can be done up

with a little sparkle.

I made the banner for the mantel using

this free download by 

The Deliberate Mom.

Then I added some glitter to the

letters and mounted them on metallic

silver papers and strung them with

jute.  I cut my papers 5 wide by

6 1/2 long, and that worked perfectly

for her letters.  

The French script pumpkins were from Home Goods

several years ago.  I looked everywhere for a metallic

garland that would go with my neutral look,

and just found this one the other day at our

new Home Goods.  Now I don't have to drive

40  minutes to a Home Goods

(kind of addicting!)

Actually, the mercury glass vases are from

Home Goods several years ago too.

I love the gold, silver and coppery tones

of the garland.

Gold candlesticks and a polka dot

gold pumpkin adorn the hearth.

The pumpkin sits on a champagne colored

cake pedestal.

Everything turned out better than I had

planned.

Give thanks daily, and it will come back

to you!  Thank you for coming to visit

our Thanksgiving home.

My Fall Entry In Silver and Cream

I tried a whole new decorating

scheme in the fall entry this year.

Everything is in mercury silver and cream.

I love the mix of the shiny and natural.

This chest stores my napkin rings and

music for the piano which is in the entry.

You may remember this wonderful

French script pumpkin from my kitchen.

I got two of these from Home Goods this year.

The mercury glass all came from 

Home Goods too.

This little one with his curly stem is my favorite.

At night when I turn on my little 

lamp everything looks pretty.

Hope you are having wonderful weather

like we are.  I love a beautiful fall.

I will be posting this with
