Over the weekend I finally got inspired to put up my autumn mantel. I still have the back-to-school version up in the playroom, but in the formal living room it was time for fall.
I decided to reuse my Habitat for Humanity wooden window and my large mirror:

I found this great grapevine star garland on clearance after christmas last year.

Of course, I needed to use my scrap wood bock pumpkins.. I still love them so much!

Fake fruit in a basket is one of the few ‘kid friendly’ things I could leave on the hearth. The kids have been playing ‘farmers market’ with the apples and carry them around the house. Pretty funny.

I think it is looks like a little milk can now:

The matching one is also included on the mantel itself:
