Harvest Mantel with Gold Pumpkin Carriage


It's that time of year again..... Fall......Time to decorate the fireplace mantel.
I love the colors of Fall...so vibrant and warm.


I bought this gold pumpkin carriage at Ross and decided to use it as a centerpiece on the mantel this year.
To tie in the gold, I am using my extra large gold candle holders.

My little Fall fairies complete the look!



Thank goodness for battery candles, especially with a remote.


Here is last years mantel.


That's it for now.
The kitchen cabinets are being built now.  They delivered our Wolf range top.
The copper sink is being shipped. The new arch window should be in this Friday.  It's all coming together.

I also wanted to mention about the poverty and abuse African women and children have to endure.
Anne-b-good wrote an amazing article about it

  23. Hi Linda. Thanks for visiting me today at Simplify. I have had a couple of people tell me that my text is hard to read. I was puzzled though, as on my blog, when I see it, the text is perfectly visible. At any rate, I have changed it now, and hopefully this is better.

  34. When I saw your great pumpkin, all I could think of was Cinderella, Lesley Ann Warren. Great movie!
    Impossible, for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage,
    Impossible, for a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage,

  40. WOW! You really brought the all gang out - the carriage, the gold and orange of fall, the fairies... - the only thing missing iare the dwarfs lighting the seven candles and find you in their enchanted cabin ahahah
    One look to last year's picture and you'd think it couldn't get better... well, proven wrong here. You can always outdone yourself.
    Enjoy Fall Dear Friend,
