Fall Mantel

It all started with this picture I found at Goodwill for a whopping $1.49.  It was hidden behind some other pictures and the frame is what caught my eye.  I just love the Autumn colors in this watercolor, not to mention it is just a gorgeous drawing. 

Here is a photo of it close up so you can see more of the details.
 


The grapevine pumpkin in the photo below I also found a Goodwill and the small pumpkins in the apothecary jar and the larger one on the candlestick came from Hobby Lobby.  The candle stick is a thrifty find that I blogged about here.
 

The wood box in the picture below I ordered from Farmhouse Wares.  It is the largest in a set of four.

This glass cylinder I got at a garage sale for 50 cents and I just filled it up with some pumpkins I already had.

Here is that cute picture again stacked on some orange books.

This pumpkin I have sitting at the base of my fireplace.  I unfortunately can not remember where I got this one but I just love it.

Thanks as always for stopping by for a visit.  I love having you over.
