With big weather changes coming our way, I thought today would be a good time to start moving into Fall decor. Not that I want summer to end, but I seem to have little control over that. Our high today....87, our high on Thursday about 60 with possible frost. So getting with the program, I changed out my mantel today. I shopped the house instead looking for new.
The cute apple, butter pumpkin sign was a gift from my daughter.
Indian corn from last year, dried hydrangeas from my garden and my stacked yellow birdies.
My living room is done in blue's, yellow's and red's so I always find it a challenge since orange isn't a good color in here.
Acorns in an apothecary jar.
Yellow and red sunflowers!
A little wagon and scarecrow which my grand-daughter will play with!
I have a hard time getting good pics back here because it seems to cast dark shadows.
So are you ready for Fall ? Or should I say ready or not it's on the way!
Hopefully we will see more summer like weather before old man winter comes around!
Cindy
I am joining
Marty for
Tabletop Tuesday.
Looks good Cindy...oh, the cool weather sounds so appealing!!
ReplyDeleteWith that lovely stone backdrop, anything will look great on your mantle. Love what you did and yes I am so ready for fall but it won't get here soon enough for me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Fall vignettes Cindy.
ReplyDeleteWe are supposed to "cool off" later this week too.
it is 90 here today but the weekend was beautiful. I love the apothecary jar with the acorns!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite season to decorate for is Autumn. I have not started decorating yet, as it is still in the 90's here. I'm looking forward to it changing though! I love your fireplace mantle and decorations. :0)
ReplyDeleteVery good job. I really love it. Love the little sign. I'm trying to do a little fall decorating.
ReplyDeleteD
I can't think about fall yet, but I am inspired looking at your cute mantel!! You have a great knack for making vignettes and this is a neat country scene!
ReplyDeleteThis weekend the weather was perfect except for a little rain on Saturday. Why couldn't it last?!
XO,
Jane
Your mantle looks great Cindy! They say we'll only be in the 60's here in Philly by the end of the week too. I love fall, look forward to jeans and sweatshirts:@)
ReplyDeleteLike your Fall decorations! I can handle Fall, but NOT what comes after.
ReplyDeleteIt's still summer here, but I enjoyed seeing your autumn decorations.
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite season here where I live, because it starts to cool down and the nights and mornings are crisp...well maybe not quite crisp...60 for a low...crisp for here! I also like the way the mountains in front of our house look this time of year...the views can be breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy and your mantle is gorgeous! Now I could be jealous of your weather.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Cindy, your mantel looks fantastic. The first thing I thought of when I saw the wagon, was, bet her granddaughter will be playing with that... It's the perfect size for her...hugs ~lynne~

ReplyDeletelooks great Cindy....I'm not ready for Fall....just cooler temps...
ReplyDeleteGreat job Cindy! I love decorating for fall... even though it's still hot here.
ReplyDeleteRandy & I are driving to the North RIm of the Grand Canyon tomorrow morning for two nights camping in our van, right next to the rim... and I can hardly wait! It's 1000 ft. higher than the South Rim... so it should get quite chilly YEH!
Oh and I absolutely adore acorns!
I am so ready for fall but my decor is lacking sad to say. Need to get started on that as soon as possible. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour mantel looks great, Cindy. You have a beautiful stone fireplace!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Beth
You may have not spent lots of money but it looks like a million bucks. Love, love it!!
ReplyDeleteHey Cindy, I agree, it looks wonderful...just great for the beginning of fall. That fireplace is wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Debbie
Your mantle and fireplace is so pretty. You're going to have fun holiday season with the grandkids this year!
ReplyDeleteI love that jar of acorns! And the indian corn. I like natural decorating.
ReplyDeleteI love your stone fireplace, it's gorgeous! I also really love the acorns in the apothecary jar, what a great idea:)
ReplyDeleteLooking good Cindy....I, too, have started bringing in the fall....from what I hear, though, we'll be lucky to get near 60 the next few days - and downright freezing rather than frost. Too, too, early for me!!! Cozy up, and decorate on!!! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteLovely mantel.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
Beautiful photos, Cindy! I love fall, and your decor is simply gorgeous!!! Sorry, but I am happy to see the cool weather arrive. I am not a summer lover...in my 60's, I keep better in the cold :)
ReplyDeleteNope, no Fall here. Still have the a/c on ad people are swimming at the Beach! It is downright summery, oh wait, it IS summer! :)
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had a sweater day yet, so that's when I think about Fall. Love your decorations!
Those aren't real acorns are they? Remember about the worms!
I love your mantel autumn decor Cindy. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, Your mantel looks great! You've inspired me to get going on adding some fall touches here. Today was potentially our 90th day in the 90's! Yikes! Oh, I was glad to see a copy of "Gone with the Wind" on your mantel. Glad that southern book made it all the way up north - LOL. Linda
ReplyDeleteI love your fireplace Cindy, and your vignette is fabulous. Love the sign and all of your vignette is just perfect. You did such a great job. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteCindy your fireplace is so cute and festive! Your stone reminds me so much of the project my husband and I just did, a hard project at that. I will be showing it soon and you will see. Hope all is well, looks like you are ready for Fall!
ReplyDeleteMornin' Girlfriend...
ReplyDeleteOhhhh...your autumn mantel is BEAUTIFUL!!! Of course, you know that your rock fireplace just "sings of autumn" to me! I love it! Your mantel decor is perfect, Girlfriend! I love your tall crock with the grapes on it...sooo pretty! And...it looks gorgeous with the red and yellow sunflowers! Love the Indian corn...I have been looking for some and haven't found any yet! Isn't it funny...Indian corn is probably one of the items that most remind me of autumn...childhood memories.
Girlfriend, I just know that Addison is going to have the biggest time pulling that cute little scarecrow and wagon around! Of course, you'll have to get some pics! Hehe! Well sweet friend, I really do love your pretty mantel...thanks for sharing it with us! What are you up to this week? I'm still "slowly..but surely" getting my autumn decor together. Eeeks...if I get any slower...I'm going to have to start at the beginning of summer! wink!
Love you, sweet friend!
Chari
Ooops..just lil' ol' me again!
ReplyDeleteWas going to tell you that the cold front moved through our area last night. It's only suppose to get up to 57 today...brrrr!!!
Love ya,
Chari
Following from Marty's a first time visitor, love your blog. Your mantle just shouts fall with the wonderful stone work. Hopefully we will see a few degrees lower by weekend. Drop by my blog I am hosting a giveaway for my 100 followers. Kathy
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, thank you for swinging in. It was a blast going to Mary Carol's. This was my second visit to her home. I'll be sharing more pictures in the next couple of days or so..
ReplyDeletehugs ~lynne~
DEAR Cindy!! You've done it once again! I love your mantel. Mine is not done and I must get busy..I start and stop..and start again. Too much going on outside I guess. Planting Fall flowers etc. So much burned up during the heat...but it was time for some "new" anyway.
ReplyDeleteI love the hazelnuts in the apothecary jar.
Just sweet..the books..everything. The little sign is wonderful! Yep..you have inspired me and I have to get busy. Fall is almost here. Officially it begins on the 23rd so I must make haste! LOL I just throw the date around to make myself feel better!! :)
Love and hugs to you, Sweetie..
Mona
Hey there my Friend!
ReplyDeleteYou are just the busy bee. Everybody is putting their Autumn up - except me. It's supposed to climb back into the mid 90's next week (YUCK!) I just cannot get inspired when it does that.
But ... if you saw my house - you'd know why I am just not in an inspired mood right now. HOpefully it will look as calm and cozy as yours very soon.
Remember, when those first snowflakes fall - CALL ME!!!!! :)
HUGS! i miss you!
Hi Cindy! Still loving your mantle and how I wish I had a grandbaby around to pull things down! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Love your Fall decor and the sign is adorable!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sherry
I'm not ready for fall (I love summer!) but I love fall decor. Your mantle looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCindy, I am finally checking in on my blog, and I just wanted to drop by and visit you and tell you how much I appreciate your sweet thoughts and kind words. They mean so much, and you are such a good bloggy friend, one of the many reasons I love you.
ReplyDeleteYour mantle looks so cute. Can you beleive it's fall already? What happened to summer??? Seems that it was only spring yesterday. Talk about time flying!
I'm heading down to check on Adelaide's girls tomorrow, and while we are all still sad, we're each trying to find a new "normal" and being thankful for all the blessings in each day.
Sending you much,much love and hoping that all is well wtih you and your dear ones.
XO,
Sheila
What a cute sign! I have fall out in and out of the house. I'll add the Halloween things soon. This is the only time of year that I actually don't mind orange things!
