A Cozy Fall Mantel

One word, friends. Thanksgiving. Let’s just take a moment to let that sink in. THANKSGIVING. Seriously? How can it possibly be here already?

This year flew by in a way I never imagined! Last Thanksgiving I was hoping and praying I’d get engaged. (I didn’t). I remember hoping he’d say something like “This year I’m thankful for my Fiancé” and BAM there would be the ring, and I would jump for joy that he didn’t hide it in the mashed potatoes.

None of that happened, & I’m a psycho for trying to plan it all out in my head like that. (Please tell me I’m not the only one?). I’ll have to share our real proposal story with you one of these days, because that is a good one.

Anyways, I say all of this because I’m about to show you what I’ve got for Thanksgiving. I sure do love the Holiday. I mean, what’s better than eating until you want to throw up, all in the name of Gratefulness? Even though I love it, it seems that my decorations are lacking. You see, I’ve got 5+ boxes of Halloween Décor, and probably 8+ of Christmas, yet for Thanksgiving, all I’ve got is one measly little half full box of a few fake leaves & pumpkins.

I’m determined to make the most of it though, and share the little bit that I did put up. (I’m really just trying to hold myself off until Christmas at this point)

I took it easy on the Mantel.  The “My Barn is your Barn” sign I picked up for $1.00 at a Thrift Shop (I’m gonna pop some tags), and the pumpkins are leftover dollar store pumpkins I used on the Halloween Shelves. I printed some awesome Free Printables and framed them to round out the display.

Is this little pathetic owl the cutest, or what?! Again, another Thrift Shop find. I think he was something like .25 cents.

The little leaf garland was easy to throw together in a snap.  I just hung some fishing line, and tied knots through the fake leaves I picked up at the dollar store. Works for me!

I love double duty décor. If I can use it for a spooky Halloween Mantel & a cozy Fall one, I’m all in!

What is your favorite Holiday to decorate for? Are you decked out in Thanksgiving, or already putting up Christmas? I’d love to know if I’m not the only crazy person around here!

Until Next Time,

Kylie
