Time for A Fall Mantel

I'm just now getting my fall mantel decorated and just in time for Thanksgiving. You must remember we have recently moved to Kentucky, then there was the mold issue with our furniture in climate control so my mantel was a bit slow coming. 

Just yesterday, I was able to get to the containers marked Fall. I try to keep my decor in containers marked with the season or holiday I plan to use them. It seems to make it so much easier. 

The lanterns are new, I bought them from Michaels for the mantel when we purchased the house in Kentucky. They are battery operated so give off a nice glow. 

The two quail were made by my Mom years ago as a gift to my Dad who was a quail hunter years ago. I always use them in my fall decor either on a mantel or on a tablescape. 

The batteries last about 30 days if you burn them 24 / 7 like I do. I don't mind replacing them; it's nice to get up in the night and have a little glow in the living room.

The fall foliage stem and pieces are all pulled from my fall tub. See, it makes it easy to keep it all organized in a container. 

So glad I have my mantel done. I have made a list for each day this week in order to be ready for Thanksgiving. Actually, I've had lists going for days and days trying to get moved in and the house all put together. 

Thanks for stopping by for another day of Life in Kentucky - Judy.

Fall Mantel

I started decorating my mantel for Fall but quickly realized I wasn't quite ready to put away all of my aqua pieces that have been on the mantel all summer. So take a look and see how I used a little aqua with my Fall mantel decor.

I worked my favorite aqua bowl in with some Fall pieces. 

I reasoned that the white pumpkin could sit close to the aqua and be ok.

I added lots of stems of berries, fall flowers, and leaves.

My aqua candle sticks are still standing around too.

At the other end of the mantel is another of my favorite aqua pieces from my summer mantel with more fall added.

I love the stick pieces added at this end of the mantel.

 Maybe by October I'll be ready to put away my aqua pieces and replace them with a scare crow or something scary - Judy.
