Fall in love with Fall

It is always bitter sweet for me when Fall arrives. I LOVE summer, so saying goodbye is hard, but welcoming the beauty and crispness of the Fall makes it all the more easier. 

I've never decorated our fire mantel for the Fall, but this year is different. 

Seeing all the cute mantel's my friends have decorated has been inspiring. 

I found some cute free Fall printables online for my decorations.

Here is the website I found mine at & a few other websites you can choose from!

And this one I thought was extra neat. 

This blogger used linen on card stock to print her Fall printable.

Here's a tour of the Fall decor sprinkled around our house this year. 

 

Mantel BEFORE : So boring!

  

Mantel AFTER : So much more cheery!  

Found this guy at Michael's, along with some of the other Fall decor on the mantel.  

Frames from Ikea

  

I added this fabric that I found at a yard sale & hot glued the gourd to the frame.  

Pumpkin candelabra from Wal-Mart. 

 

Fall hand towels from Wal-Mart.

HAPPY FALL!
