It was time to take down the Summer mantel, but I’m not ready for skulls and spiders yet so I made a transition mantel. Mostly generic with a little bit of Fall. I left the window and wreath up for now.
I added a few white pumpkins to bring in some Fall. Then added some books to bring height to the pumpkin and to represent the start of school. You can see how I made the framed word art here.
And how I made the little display plate here.
I’m sure you recognize the candle holder and wire cloche from previous posts.
I think it’s perfect for now. Don’t worry, give me a couple weeks and I’ll have the Halloween decor out. This time of year I would be happy to change my mantel every week. What about you? How often do you like to change your mantel?
