Fall Mantel

Last year was the first time that I decorated my mantel for fall and was so surprised when BHG included it in their Halloween mantel collection.

This year I decided to put my spooky trees up there.

I added the skeleton in the tree and spray painted my green pumpkin with chrome paint.

A fellow blogger made this printable to share and I can’t remember who it was ! Let me know if it was you………

I got a little excited when I saw how it matched my roman shades !

I wanted to paint the frame black but to my horror I was all out. My son was just glad I painted something a color other than white.

I’ll be linking to these Fall parties……..

Transformation Thursday

Tablescape Thursday

I'm participating in my first Tablescape Thursday over at Between Naps on the Porch.
When I blogged about my birthday dishes, Maria at Colour me Happy suggested I do Tablescape Thursday and I was a newbie and didn't even know what that was !

I must be the only person in bloggyland that doesn't have fall decortations ! I managed to find a few things that were kind of fallish. The vegetable rabbit is a leftover from when I was a vase collector and I don't even know where the veggie cups came from. I went to Joann's to buy foam last week and tried to force myself to buy some fall decorations but the only thing I left with was orange tic tacs !
You can see my roman shades in the breakfast nook have monkeys on them (Teto and Jerome) I have a thing for monkeys. One day I'll do a monkey post and show you all of them around my house. Then I'll be known as the crazy monkey lady.
Since I don't actually have any napkins or rings, I just went up to my workroom this morning and made these from some scrap fabric and fringe.
Thanks for stopping by !
