fall mantel inspiration + autumn bucket list giveaway!
it’s almost autumn, but around these parts, we’re seeing little hints already.
we have begun collecting wood for our winter wood stove & wrapping ourselves in blankets during the evening hours. the days are cool, which our garden & animals really love, & that warm autumn light is absolutely magical.
hints of autumn also mean autumn mantels.
…pumpkins, happy flags, red & orange tones, bright leaves & whatever else might strike my fancy.
i keep a little basket in our guest bedroom closet of seasonal decor. it’s so exciting to pull out my little bits of festive goodies to decorate our home for the seasons.
i have become a big fan of clipboards. if you’ve stuck around for long enough, you know this.
my dear friend, sara of the rosy life, gifted me this print. i clipped it to one of my favorite rusty clipboards & placed it on our mantel. it’s the focal point of our decor & the best reminder of the good stuff about autumn.
i now want to curl up with a book & rest next to the cozy fire, yes? grab me a slice of that homemade apple pie while you’re up!

I refuse to let the summer go, still! 🙂 I saw some pumpkins for sale at the store and thought, no way, not yet! As much as I love Fall, I'm just not ready yet, we've had the most beautiful summer weather this year and I'm holding on tight to it! 🙂
Love your Fall list on display, beautiful!

I really like her work! I do mixed-media stuff myself and have always loved the style. My favorite of hers is the Runaway print!
We have a one year old so I would like to start taking him to the same orchard every year as he grows up!
