Easy Fall Mantle

8:55 AM

Last week I took down all our Halloween decor.

Usually I hop right into Christmas, but we've had unusually warm weather so it doesn't feel like Christmas yet.

So for the first time, I'm decorating a little for fall/ Thanksgiving...or trying a little.

On our mantle I put our few little pumpkins that fit and weren't carved or painted, then I asked our neighbor if I could cut some branches from her tree that had yellow leaves and red berries.
She probably thought I was weird, but I think it's pretty and was really easy to just plop them in a big glass jar.

I also moved the real leaf garland to the mantle.

Along with this lantern I made over from a light fixture.

Easy, free and took 5 minutes! And it will all just go in the compost when it looks bad in a few weeks, so nothing to store which is nice as I'm still trying to figure out how to store Jack the Pumpkin King and Zero the ghost dog.
