Fall Mantel Party

The Nester is hosting a fall mantel party and I thought it would be fun to participate.
I would have loved to have shot these pictures in natural light, but I took them after work on Monday evening, a dark and rainy night, so they are a bit dark.  Oh well!

I found the wreath in Williamsburg when I was shopping with a group of friends including Donna of Designs on 47th Street.  I filled my Southern Living at Home hurricanes with birdseed and added feathers.  The wheat sheaths were purchased at the beach.  I plan to add fresh gourds to the mantel when I have the opportunity to purchase them.
The floral arrangement on the table between the wing chairs is left over from the CSI Project’s Mod Podge challenge.  I haven’t refreshed the arrangement because it dried beautifully. 
Dried gourds grown by my father get arrange in my grandmother’s basket every single year.
Thanks for stopping by.  I’m hosting a fall giveaway.  Click here if you’d like to join in the fun!
