Early Fall Mantle

Pardon me, I'm trying to get back into the swing of blogging again and I'm a little behind on showing off my September mantle.
October is just around the corner and the Halloween decorations are calling to me. But before I pull out the bins and re-do my mantle with a scary flair, I thought I would show off my glitzy early fall mantle. 
  
It was an easy display. A huge gold frame borders a few smaller ones with a line-up of shiny and sparkly pumpkins in front. And some candles and faux plants mixed in for interest. 
It was a great way to ease into the more "themed" months of October and November.

    You sure do have a nice collection of gilded frames - all from thrift stores I assume? And I'm sure you did something wonderful with the paintings that used to be inside the frames too!

    Brown wall- check. White mantel- check. White ceiling- check. Now all I need is golden flitter and glitter and glitz and glam so my mantel can look as sophisticated as yours!
    Oh wait.
    I know a shop that sells golden spray paint for less than £1.50... SQUEE!!
    Love your display, elegant and stylish. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi joy, it's so nice to meet you. I am your newest follower. I found you through Censational Girl. Your mantle is lovely and I especially like the use of your frames. I, too chose to use frames on mine.
