I decided to gather what few Fall things I have and do a little decorating on the (fake, I can't afford the gas for) fireplace mantel. I am hosting Thanksgiving next week and I thought it would be nice. I am going to fluff it a little more before next week and add more candles but here is what I have so far...
I steal that greenery from this giant bush-like tree in our backyard all year long. It seems the more I cut from it the more it grows. Bella fella wanted to chop it down last year when we moved in. Um, no. He lost that battle but won the battle of the Christmas lights. More on that later.

In fact, Mom asked about those last night and I told her I was in denial.
Okay, I can wait. For now, this Christmas light snob will enjoy her mantel and be thankful.

your thanksgiving spruce up looks beautiful. the platter is wonderful. so homey. i don't hold thanksgiving at my house - so it's easy to skip those decorations.
Love what you have out for Thanksgiving! I have been wanting to get things out and about but waiting till Thanksgiving night to do any Christmas stuff...although I have been listening to the music. Nothing wrong with that at least....Can't wait to see all your stuff next week.
I'm glad you're waiting. The fall decor is very pretty. I also wait even though I'm also itching to decorate for Christmas. I just don't want to feel like I've totally skipped over Thanksgiving and Autumn (what Autumn we've had, it was 95 degrees yesterday, 90 today)
Your autumn decorations look very pretty.
You mean my hubby isn't the only one who has issues about putting up outdoor Christmas lights???
Blessings,

I love the mantel and the decor you created for it!!! You did a great job on it!
So, can we not talk about outdoor lights just yet? I too am in denial! Denial that I have to put them up again! Ah, the things we do for love (or guilt!)!
Can't wait to see the photo's of yours!!
You did a heck of a job decorating! Looks great!
That mantle looks fabulous!
That is SO beautiful! I LOVE the platter:)
I am also hosting Thanksgiving....on the Friday after. Snow White and I will probably end up putting up our Christmas tree on Thanksgiving Day!!! We have such a tiny home, but we LOVE our decorations!!
See, doesn't take a lot to make a smashing looking display! Looks great.
They were playing Christmas music in our lobby today! Grrrrr. Not time for Christmas until NEXT Friday. Love all the fall decor in your place!
Too funny!
