It’s starting to turn cool here in Maryland which means that Fall decorating can commence! I love decorating for Fall- the pumpkins, the gourds, the wreaths…. First on my list is always to decorate the mantle. As in previous years, I headed to the farmer’s market to get some pumpkins and gourds -white pumpkins are my favorite to decorate with and I picked up two of those, two medium-sized bright orange pumpkins, and two light orange mini pumpkins and set out to arranging. Before I show you the Fall arrangement, let’s say “so long” to the summer time mantle:
And “hello” the Fall mantle:

Other than mixing in some pumpkins, I also stuck some sticks in the two brass colored pumpkins that I already had sitting on the mantle and viola!, from Summer to Fall. I know that the art that I have in the middle of the mantel is very summery… but, I’m not changing that out mostly because I love the art and also because I have nothing to take its place! Besides, I kind of like how the blues and the oranges look together with the brassy accents. Almost like when I bought the art, I thought, “Hey, I”ll throw in some orange and it will totally work for Fall too!” At least that’s what I’m telling myself. 🙂
