~~~My Mantle Dressed For Fall!!!!~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi everyone! I decided I would join Leyla at The Lettered Cottage for her It's Fall Y'ALL Mantle party! Go on over and see ALL of the beautiful Fall mantles that are linked up! You can find it at: <a href="http://www.theletteredcottage.blogspot.com/">http://www.theletteredcottage.blogspot.com/</a>   This first picture I took with out the lamps on but just the overhead spots.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI5RT8ha_yKs7NO67YGt1iuouChwFXU_IzCclHSm8K4yMmU26ULrYlbvvkvOXeFCM3Zx6wVVJbaYgJL41Ai_6iep1KStVtFNS_Rdob06pImz7KFMIJe-24rBVTh9MmaCr_ETiIBjYlwmkl/s1600/IMG_8981.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480px" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI5RT8ha_yKs7NO67YGt1iuouChwFXU_IzCclHSm8K4yMmU26ULrYlbvvkvOXeFCM3Zx6wVVJbaYgJL41Ai_6iep1KStVtFNS_Rdob06pImz7KFMIJe-24rBVTh9MmaCr_ETiIBjYlwmkl/s640/IMG_8981.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div> I don't remove everything that lives on the mantle the rest of the year. I just added the gorgeous berry garland, the brown glass pumpkins placed on candlesticks and the arrangement in the center that I made.

Last weekend I made several Fall arrangements and today wanted to share this one that I made for the Baker's Rack in our dining room. I already had ALL of the supplies that I used in this arrangement so the cost right now was $0.00!!!! Can't beat that, right!? I have had the container for many years and it has done duty with many things. It is actually a nice plastic material so holds up beautifully.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYNSpSV1X9yfXwAWdUWnIVd4KIFxaktLDCS9rznfuz1eKtlp_bHualwsZ47LUfrRRzHXLCuKUKZYMTIHAp8m5yPlWoxohUpX-oXihl9tpd4RJ9YcEmpWsQCEgjCGCottVXh2ZqsZj3flda/s1600/IMG_8871.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hca="true" height="640px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYNSpSV1X9yfXwAWdUWnIVd4KIFxaktLDCS9rznfuz1eKtlp_bHualwsZ47LUfrRRzHXLCuKUKZYMTIHAp8m5yPlWoxohUpX-oXihl9tpd4RJ9YcEmpWsQCEgjCGCottVXh2ZqsZj3flda/s640/IMG_8871.JPG" width="480px" /></a></div> I used a variety of things in this arrnagement: mums, orange cosmos, hydrangeas from my garden, Greens, leaves, tall spkiey flowers etc.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoUEhPJCyTYQyIHumZGwFTN_XkpWoMnSF9L5ZCZ4jXO5RP0Mn6Sw4ryQq6ERrKU25dY94bQa9CoGhJbt2qAM8ZulMKGNRZdZ92BylXI_7OWwQAk_ZnLny9Q1DUJLRFtKF17_XxPDOIOnc0/s1600/IMG_8872.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hca="true" height="480px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoUEhPJCyTYQyIHumZGwFTN_XkpWoMnSF9L5ZCZ4jXO5RP0Mn6Sw4ryQq6ERrKU25dY94bQa9CoGhJbt2qAM8ZulMKGNRZdZ92BylXI_7OWwQAk_ZnLny9Q1DUJLRFtKF17_XxPDOIOnc0/s640/IMG_8872.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div> I also had some pumpkins and gourds that I poked a hole into and added a stick to make a pick.

~~~A Quote that hit my heart~~~

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world.  There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor.  But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents.  Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.  Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word , a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around.  It's overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt. ---Leo Buscaglia</span></b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I wanted to share this quote by Leo Buscaglia, because it spoke to me.

~~~WELCOME Fall!!!~~~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi everyone! I wasn't going to post the porch yet but since it is the first day of FALL, I decided to take some pics and WELCOME you all! It is supposed to RAIN, alot, here for the next few days so I had to take advantage and get some shots!  My impatiens are BOUNTIFUL here in the front of the house. As you can see, they are about 2 feet high! I purposely plant red and orange impatiens in the Spring, so that they will look good through the Fall! I'm smart like that:):)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEims9yUk6gPm6_oyGUjsf6n3KBX22stEEqW2VE2gluXyO4HrYD-rzUnoPnEV_eXYddtlKBdzYiu8-VltDUT4rVwYuteXZ-zJHa3VLyWf-YstnBfJJHtU66esR09wbucDtc8uwcNqbu_xwBB/s1600/IMG_8917.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hca="true" height="480px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEims9yUk6gPm6_oyGUjsf6n3KBX22stEEqW2VE2gluXyO4HrYD-rzUnoPnEV_eXYddtlKBdzYiu8-VltDUT4rVwYuteXZ-zJHa3VLyWf-YstnBfJJHtU66esR09wbucDtc8uwcNqbu_xwBB/s640/IMG_8917.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div> The front porch as seen from the driveway.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcVOHNfrdTTA0sVsmX9wecQsIEsVxuCdwaFSSZ-0PKy4kOP9kdeTinZf7DL4cH3iMT5JOhgOjPbz_lpwUbzG9fF-HIWLYSmWMYzV3wFZ6TSWFBp3pxjupm1WsszGU5_H8QnZ0Sz_QVoyWh/s1600/IMG_8918.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hca="true" height="480px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcVOHNfrdTTA0sVsmX9wecQsIEsVxuCdwaFSSZ-0PKy4kOP9kdeTinZf7DL4cH3iMT5JOhgOjPbz_lpwUbzG9fF-HIWLYSmWMYzV3wFZ6TSWFBp3pxjupm1WsszGU5_H8QnZ0Sz_QVoyWh/s640/IMG_8918.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div> This bench is an oldie but a goodie!
