Fall is hands-down my favorite season of the year. BUT, I don't have a lot to show for it. I haven't collected fall decorations throughout our marriage like we have collected Christmas items.
This year my mom bought me a few new things at the dollar store and I was so excited. I usually put my little decorations on the table in our entryway, but I decided I wanted to get to look at them and enjoy them. So, I put them on the mantle this year. I didn't think I would even have enough to fill the mantle, but I was pleasantly surprised.
First, my mom bought this flower arrangement at the dollar store. It's so pretty and nice and tall. I found an old candle to put next to that. And I bought these little scarecrows for the girls at Walgreens last year for $1 each. They have them this year too.
Next, the Welcome sign my mom bought for me and a bowl of potpourri. Lastly, a candle holder a student gave me years ago. The original candle was prettier, but this one will do. That's a clock my husband made on the right.
I think it came out pretty, although it would look better with some fabric under the whole thing to break up the brick a little. I would like to add to my fall collection. I love decorating for fall because it can stay up from September through November.
Now I'm off to visit the other links at A Wise Woman Builds Her Home and get some more fall decorating ideas!
