Fall Mantels Coastal Style

Happy Monday to you!

I hope you are all doing well and had a great weekend!

I went with Laurie to the last Flea Market, Debbie could not come this time and we missed her.

It rained and rained and rained

BUT

that didn't stop us from shopping until we dropped or were soaked to the bone.

I will show you my treasures in another post.

Today has started off a bit rough, my BIL had to have emergency surgery at 4:00 this morning due to a twisted colon.

He did really well and the boy and I are off to go visit him.

Things like this can be very scary for him because he is paralyzed from the mid-chest down so anything, even a cold can be really hard on his body.

BUT

he is amazing and pulls through.

Last week I spent a day getting out my fall stuff and adding little things here and there to my mantels.

The living room I just added a few big pumpkins

(which are 40% off at Michaels right now)

and a few smaller ones along with my friend the crow.

Simple, subtle and works for me.

Now my kitchen mantel I had more fun with.

I added some fall grasses to the beach grass, pumpkins in my big-fire-pot-thing-that-I-can't- remember-what-it-is-called-but-I-painted-it-gray. :)

Of course keeping to my coastal love I added some driftwood, starfish a few mice and some other Halloween treasures that I picked up at Meijer and lastly another one of my crow friends.

I love these!!

Hey did you know that a group of crows is called a 'murder'??

cool and creepy huh!!

When my faux logs come in I will put the bucket-o-pumpkins on the right side or somewhere near there.

I am so excited, they told me that it shipped!!!

Have a good day and I will show you what I made a week ago so don't "slip" away for too long!!

yes I am a dork. :)
