Pumpkins and Burlap Thanksgiving Mantel

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pumpkins & Burlap Thanksgiving MantelThere has been so much Halloween excitement at my house this year with the little grands that I decided to wait and let my fall mantel have a Thanksgiving theme. After all, it’s really my favorite holiday and I wanted to give it its due since it so often gets lost between Halloween and Christmas. I love seeing all of my family gathered around the table each year as new little faces are added and our extended family grows!



CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Transitioning into Fall...Apple and Bittersweet WreathThe starting point was the wreath and that one was not as easy as I had imagined. I had planned all along to rework my transitional APPLES AND BITTERSWEET FALL WREATH, but finding the perfect replacement for the apples took some searching.

But something was still missing…then I spied this burlap banner at Target for only $3.00winner! I could hardly make it that inexpensively!

Remember to pin it!

  6. I'm so jealous of those of you who have a mantle wide enough to decorate. Mine is the hardest place in my house to try to do anything with.
