Burlap Placemats

I wanted to do something different this year for my Thanksgiving dinner instead of chargers.  So I bought some burlap and cut rectangles and then fringed the edges.  I then took my chandelier stencil and stenciled on each placemat.

Fall table arrangement

I have been absent lately to the blogging world because of the building projects around here.  Fun, but messy and hectic :).  We are fininshing up the addition to our living room.  I will post pics when it is done.  I have done some fall decorating though, not much but some.  Here is my table arrangement.

Everything is from Goodwill except the sunflower that is from HObby Lobby.  I love deals :) 

Some Fall Decorating

It  doesn't seem like Summer should be over.  I started my Fall decorating.   This is my mantle.  I added a leaf garland and kept my Hydrangeas in the vase they still have good color.  I added some putka pods and acorns and leaves to my jars.  The candle holders were silver and I spray painted them a cram and added two votives to them.  Later on I will put a little pumpkin on top of each one instead of the votives, I am just waiting for my little pumpkins to get the right color.

My porch post in the living room.  This is about all I can do in there as we are remodeling and knocking out a wall soon (Lord willing) so I know everything will be down for that but in the mean time I have to pretty it up. :)  I glittered my crow after this pic it just made him look more like he belonged at my house.
