AliLily | My Fall Mantel

YAY, for crafting again!! It’s so exciting! I’ve really missed it and missed blogging!! I can’t wait to show y’all how I put this together!! I’m totally loving it!!!
FIRST, I scored all these goodies at Michael’s with their 50% OFF SALE!!!

Then, my wonderful sister in law Teresa, gave me a couple shutters! And so I painted one to use for the mantel.

Then I made a bunch of felt flowers, cut up a few of those fall floral sprays and started placing everything on a grapevine wreath. Then placed things here and there on my mantel and VIOLA!! My new fall mantel!!

I am in love!!! Do you love it??

Here are a few close ups of the wreath.

and the mantel….

I made this fall garland from online stencils, construction paper and twine.

close up of the mantel goodies….

I got that cute fall plant from Anna’s Linens last year or 75% off, the candle is a Paula Dean candle from my Brother and his Wife, and that adorable harvest basket is from my recent trip to Michael’s.

Those are the FIRST fallen pine cones of the season along with some little candles I had. Now, it’s kinda hard to see but that is the shell or skeleton of an Ocotillo Cactus from North Mountain, AZ. Mr. Wonderful had grabbed it on one of our hiking trips in AZ.

I LOVE this banana leaf pumpkin basket I got from Michael’s. It’s it so cute!? I think that is my sisters candle and another of the Anna’s Linens fall plants.

I filled the banana leaf pumpkin basket with cinnamon scented pine cones and pumpkins also from Michael’s.

So, what do y’all think?? Do you love it as much as I do!? My hubby helped me with the decorations too. AND he came up with a super inventive way to hang the wreath. He cut and shaped a wire hanger into a PERFECT hanger and it’s totally invisible too!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
