Natural Autumn Mantel

Happy Monday Friends!  Today I’m finally getting around to sharing my autumn mantel.  The last few weeks have been crazy here. white pumpkins, pinecones, acorns

This year I wanted simple… natural elements on my autumn mantel.

white pumpkins, fall, pinecones, acorns

LOTS of little, adorable white pumpkins… I adore the stem on this one.

Pinecones collected by little hands…

and a collection of acorns found while apple picking.

I wanted my autumn mantel to remind me of some of things that matter most… the things we reflect on this time of year.

The simple, beauty of this season…

and the memories we make during it with the ones we love the most.

I hope you are making some wonderful memories this autumn.

Thanks for stopping by friends…

    I keep looking at mantels for inspiration and nothing has been quite right. This is PERFECT!!!! If I could make my mantel look just like this I would be so happy. Great work :o )

      Thanks Carolyn… I’d pack it up for you, but I’m not sure the pumpkins would survive.
