I love fall.
It's my favorite season.
I've already made soup several times and the most delicious apple pie ever!
If you need a fabulous apple pie recipe, check out All Recipes for
(I added 1 teas. cinnmon, 1/4 teas. nutmet & splash of vanilla)
and then be SURE to try the recipe for French Pastry Pie Crust! Yum!
Mind you, our cooler weather is in the low 80's, but, hey, we've had 90 degrees
all summer!
OK, I'm embarrassed to show you last year's fall mantel.....
what was I thinking???? Ugh!
This year I kept my white and green up and swapped out the candles
for pumpkins that I already had!
Be warned, this is very minimalist decorating,
but we like it.
Oops, caught myself in the mirror!
Well, that's it.
Plain and simple.
I'll be back soon with the bargain of the century.
You will NOT believe what I found and repurposed.
Ridiculous!
Blessings to you,
Linda

I like the new look. I think I am leaning to a less is more attitude with my fall decorating this year. Of course, I haven't started yet so that really is less!!
Your mantel looks so pretty. Love how it is simple. I'm decorating with a more simple approach this year also and really like it.

Oh I am so in the mood for simple and elegant and this fits the bill perfectly. I love it. The pumpkins are perfect and I love that mirror. Such a treasure. Thanks so much or joining TTT. Can't wait to see your bargain. Hugs, Marty
It looks great, Linda and I liked last year's, too.
Sweet fall touches! Love, love your mirror!

Lovely.I sure wish it felt and looked like Autumn in So.Ca.,looking forward to it.
Ooooh, how I need to simplify! It looks so pretty! I can't wait to see your fabulous re-do! Happy weekend!...hugs...Debbie
I need a full-mantle pic! Looks fantastic, though, as always - I'll have to come see it for myself :)
Your Fall mantel is beautiful, Linda! I love Fall too. I am so happy it is here!
I think it looks great, Linda! I do my mantels pretty much the same way. When we are in the new place though, it will be even sparser because we'll have a tv over the fireplace.
Linda your fall mantel looks beautiful!!
Oh I love that mantel Linda!
And I think it is just right, you have plenty of interest but its elegant too!
Happy Fall,
Cindy
It may be plain and simple but I love it! Can't wait to see what you found and re-purposed.

P.S. When you have a moment, could you change my blog name on your blogroll?
Hi, Linda! First of all, I LIKED last year's mantle, it was very pretty! Second, I can see why you are in love with your handiwork this year... OH! That wreath looks gorgeous! I am a huge lover of wreaths, and yours looks great. The whole mantle looks great, each and every thing on it! You really did a fabulous job.
Best,
Gloria
Your mantel looks so nice. The wreath looks great in front of the mirror.I really like the large urn with the twigs by the fireplace.
Happy Fall.
Loving your mantel! I am your newest follower!
Your mantel is lovely! I love your mirror with the wreath in it. So pretty!
Looks fantastic! I love the burlap bows. I have been unable to find any burlap ribbon, but I hear Michaels may have it now. Gotta get some!
Have a great week!

Oh I just love your mantle with all the fall touches! I hope you will add your lovely metamorphosis to my Fall in Love linky party on Wednesday.
Until then, stop by and see the under $20 makeover I gave an ugly brass light fixture.
Happy Monday!
Linda, Your Fall decor compliments the GORGEOUS mirror. Everything looks beautiful and I also love the little white stool by the fireplace.
Hugs,
Sherry
I like simple and elegant. I am toning it down this year too. Maybe I have just gotten to lazy to bother!
The plain and simple truth is, it is beautiful! I really like it. The wreath hanging on the mirror adds alot of interest. Visiting for the first time. Now a new follower.
