Table Top Tuesday

Hello Sweet Friends,

How are ya???

I am feeling chipper today, slept in

till 9:15, cause I woke up about 4:20 a.m.

 and couldn't get back to sleep till around

6:30, I would say.  My neck was bothering

me............Ugh......probably from welding

those hedge trimmer shears yesterday.  I 

really tried to make sure I didn't overdue it

too!!  Fortunately,  I have a chiropractor

appt. tomorrow!!  

Thought it would be fun to do Table Top

Tuesday with Marty, over at " A stroll

thru life" today,  since I am sure there

will be lots of fun Fall decorating ideas.

Here of some of mine:

*

This is the mantle decorations for the fireplace.

  I Was looking for something for under the cloche, 

so decided the best thing that fit was this wooden 

pear, but it didn't show up so well against the brick,

 so added the lace behind it,  and sort of draped

it on each side of the cloche.

*

*

This is on the right side of the Cloche,

Added some berries, pinecones, and potpourri and

a neat oak branch I found in the backyard, and

a cranberry colored apple

*

*

This is one the left side of the cloche,

a berry oil candle, and more berries

and cones.  Should have remembered

to light the candle, guess I didn't think of it

cause I took the pics in the daytime.

The top of the cloche needed something, but tried an apple and pear

 and something else can't remember now,  but just didn't look right, 

 so went out in the yard to get some grapevine to have it kind of drape

 out of the top, but it didn't look right, so decided to make a small

 wreath,  and thought it looked good, but it will look great 

once the leaves turn brown.

I already removed the oak leaves today cause they got

 too limp and didn't look good anymore!!Oh Well!!

When you use fresh things from the yard they don't

always last very long,  so your arrangement is always

sort of evolving,  keeps things from getting boring!!  lol

This is on the right side of the mantle, a small cloche, really

it used to be a candle holder for an outside holder we used

to have.  Set it on some classic books we have, and

just added more berries and pinecones.

*

Up close and personal look

*

*

I turned it so you see the other side.

Here is the whole fireplace. I'm not happy with the inside

so think I might put some candles or something in there yet.

Not the greatest pic,  but hard to get a closeup of the

total thing.

Hope you have  enjoyed my mantle decorations.
