No Turkey Mantle

I know many people start their Christmas decorating in November, however, 

I love celebrating Thanksgiving. 

I enjoy spending a month concentrating on giving thanks and acknowledging my blessings. 

Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite holidays! I relish in decorating for turkey day. This year I decided to forgo the traditional turkeys in my fireplace decor, replacing them with mercury glass owls that I picked up on clearance. 

I used the same pumpkins and mercury glass candlesticks that were on my mantle for Halloween, changing out the black garland with fall leaves. 

Then I threw in some touches of gold. 

The banner was an easy DIY using burlap, jute,  store bought stencils and spray on gold glitter.

I have much to be thankful for and 

I count YOU, my blog friends, 

among my many blessings. 

Have a blessed week!
