I’m not much of a seasonal decorator. I don’t mind things staying the same if it looks good.
A first attempt at a fall mantle change-up
Finally, however, I thought it time to change the mantle decoration I put together for our “South of the Border” party.
Using the same elements as above I made a switcheroo.
The one color I’m focussing on this fall is RED. I don’t usually have red in the scheme but it seems to be available to me along with natural browns and brass.
Red pillar candles in brass holders lend substance.
I made an apothecary jar full of hazelnuts here. And I cut a small sprig of burnished hydrangea to display in a petite cloche.

As I started looking around I found some Russian toys.
Natural wood toys with red details.
And a new sign Charlie’s mother brought over to us.
Love Lives Here sign
The entire autumn theme is held together with a Red Wing stag flower frog

The Autumn Mantle.
Whimsy and tradition create an autumn mantlescape.
Do you change things up on a regular basis or on a whim?
I love that! I would love for you to post it at my SHOW-licious Sunday Craft Showcase! http://sewliciousdecor.wordpress.com.
