Happy October Friends!
I usually do not put out fall decorations inside my house, but this year I decided to do some decorating in my living room. I was inspired because of all the blogs I have been visiting and looking at their fall home decor. I was determined this year to decorate my mantel with crocheted apples that I wanted to make.
If you would like to visit my post on how to make your own crochet apples you can visit my blog post HERE.
The other items I bought at Michael's craft store and I enjoyed picking them out as there were so many to choose from. I thought they blended in well with the crocheted apples.
This is my fall mantel and the church painting was made by me many years ago when I was a teenager and I had taken many painting lessons. I love this fall scene and the colors of the trees.
On this small bookcase I have displayed a pumpkin crate with small pumpkins inside. The hydrangea's are not real, but I love the way they look in the vase.
I will be mixing in with these decorations my crocheted pumpkins I made.
To see my mini crocheted pumpkins and to make your own in time for Halloween, you can visit HERE.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my mantel decorated for fall and soon it be ready for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
It all looks wonderful, Julie. And your fireplace/mantle is beauitful. Happy Fall to you! Have a great weekend.

Love love your simple fall decor, Julie! Also, your church painting is amazing! You are a woman with many talents my friend. I don't do fall decor too but I'm thinking I can at least have autumn color candles. Just need to take them out of storage. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Ping
ReplyDeleteYour mantel has so much old-fashioned charm to it. And your painting is really lovely!

It looks fabulous Julie, and I think your painting is lovely, you are so talented. Have a great weekend. :) xx
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, love your mantel with the apple theme and fall decor. Such a cozy style for the season. Your painting is beautiful above the mantel and so peaceful. You are so talented with all you create and design.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing fall in your home. Have a great weekend.

Your fall mantel looks lovely Julie! I admire all these fall decorations in our local craft store too, but the price tags make me leave them on the shelf. Your crocheted apples look very charming, and I think I like them best of all the decorations you have there. And that painting!!! It's beautiful with the church reflected in the water and those branches overhanging the top ... I tried to see it closer by clicking on it, but couldn't see it as close as I would like. You have a talent there that I hope you haven't put completely to rest ;) Enjoy your weekend!

Your mantel is so, so cute, Julie. I may just have to learn to crochet now. I love your other accessories too especially the little buckets. Your painting is beautiful - it reminds me so much of a trip we took to New Hampshire a couple years ago.
