Fall Mantel with Leaf Wreath & Gourds

Posted on | October 31, 2008 | 2 Comments

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because it involves lots of sweets and things made with squash. I’m making a few fall leaf wreathes (inspired by Martha) for the house and the front door this afternoon. Here are a few shots of my mantle I decorated with squashes, bittersweet, and a leaf wreath. I found the leaves around my yard. I have to make one more for my front door…so I have to run!

Update: this post is from my first Halloween in the house. Now the mantel is green, see here.

I just spotted this grey striped blanket on landsend.com. 100% wool and guaranteed itch-free. Would be pretty in a simple bedroom. Lands’ End “Stripe Washable Wool Blanket” $169 queen, landsend.com.

It’s absolutely freezing in our house! Greg refuses to turn up the heat to 65 degrees. The only warm spot in the house is my office and bedroom. I might be glued to computer for the next 5 months. Good news for all of you because I’m on the internet searching for cool stuff! If I wasn’t stuck to my computer today I would have never found these gorgeous art boxes by french artist Maissa Toulet (via designersblock.blogspot.com). Each box is a collage of what looks like a thought or memory. I really can’t tell you anything more about them because I don’t speak French. Check them out: maissatoulet.fr.
