Fall Halloween Mantel

Well, I started to just do a fall mantel, 

but all that Halloween stuff was just sitting there. 

And I didn't know know if I would have time to add it later...

So I just went all out. Hopefully not too much so. I can always edit.

I did not change everything that was there, some pieces still fit.

What was added was a some vintage "fall/halloween" items like

the Old Crow bottle (crow atop embellished by this blogger).

And a few pieces that I have created like these two little witches.

 

I love the Edgar Allen Poe book. 

 

I like to mix the old and rusty, like the pulleys and books, balanced 

with shiny reflective ~ the silver trophies and mercury glass.

 

Just a few pops of orange, like the little pumpkin I made last year.

I also used a few natural elements like the feathers, wood 

architectural pieces, and pressed flower picture. 

(Hanging goblin made for me by Kari).

The banner is one my girls made (with a kit) and I think they will 

happy to see it up ~ I may have to add a little burlap to the back of it.

 Dressed up the dining room table as well.

Shoot, now my entry table is bare ~

The Lettered Cottage


See....already tweaked it!
