Metamorphosis Monday......Mantel holiday change.

Time for Metamorphosis Monday, thank you to Susan at ,http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ , for hosting us.

Check out her fabulous blog and see who else is posting Met Monday posts.

Always so fun to see what others are up to!

Before.......some of the Mantel when I was doing it for Halloween.

I actually ended up having it decked out even more than this.

But you get the idea.

After ......I got out all the Fall that I have which isn't alot as I go into

Christmas pretty soon anyway, I love Christmas.

But before I start Christmas around the house the mantel can have a new look for a bit.

I layered all sorts of faux Fall foliage on the mantel and stuck in sprigs of sugared fruit, some mercury acorns and other sugared pumpkins etc.

Trimmed it out with some Fall ribbon.

I filled the beverage server apothecary jar with sugared fruits, pumpkins and gourds.

I will have to try taking photos in the day time, maybe then I can get the sugared

fruits and things with out them reflecting back during a flash.

And my pretty Fall Wreath that I have have for a couple years got put

in it's place of honor on the front door too.
