Hello! I have a new look! I hope you like it! It feels like I have a radically new haircut but it's my blog's new look. There's been a flurry of Fall decorating at my house. Let's take a look.
There are little signs that Fall is arriving.
The mantel is wearing a Fall look now. There were many options to try.
Of course dried hydrangeas are a big part of the Fall look. They can be messy but that's okay. The candelabra is out on the mantel.
Out came some old silver for a different look.
The geese wouldn't look my way so I started calling them and thought they were taking notice. See how attentive they are!
They were paying no heed to me. There was a lone goose on the lake talking to them and they had quite a conversation before they all flew away together. The loner must be the one in charge.
It was such a pretty sight. Nature gives us such beauty.
The mister and daughter aren't giving their approval on the mantel. One said it looked too much like Thanksgiving. That is exactly what I was going for. ; ) I don't do Halloween decorating but love a look that will carry us into the end of November if I so choose.
There's even a small pumpkin.
Dried flowers are still pretty.

Ahh the mantel looks beautiful. I like the addition of the different colored hydrangeas. I didn't have many this year except with my Annabelle's and now they are dried but only green. I like to decorate for fall and carry it through to Thanksgiving too but the big kid in me has to add some Halloween at some point! We're seeing hints of fall here too. It's always so beautiful to see!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz! I didn't have nearly as many hydrangeas this year. We had a cold snap early in the season then lots of rain that resulted in much fewer blooms. I was able to dry a blue one which I never have before and it turned navy! There's not much of it left now because I have handled it too much. They fall apart so easily.
DeleteJan,

Thanks Pat! The silver surprised me as I usually go for a brass/gold look for Autumn. I am so glad you liked it!
DeleteYour mantel looks lovely Jan!

Thanks Susan!
DeleteHello Janet. As a new follower, I am revelling in your images and posts. They speak to me on so many levels. Your mantle is gorgeous, and I do believe we have almost the same colour walls in our home. Looking forward to more gorgeous pics. Mimi xxx
