Met Monday and Mosaic Monday

Today I am joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch who hosts Metamorphosis Monday and also joining Mary at Little Red House who hosts Mosaic Monday. You can see other inspiring participants of both of these blogs by clicking on to what is highlighted.

For each season of the year most often one can see changes in my home on my mantle over my Fireplace. Today I am sharing my Fall Metamorphosis of my mantle.

This was finessed for the summer with my topiaries on each end and my Vietri pheasant.




For Fall I leaned in the direction to a somewhat French theme with my Guinea Hens from France and my flower topiaries from France. I have finessed some faux magnolia garland with some straw pumpkins. The wreath is an orange raffia and I thought made a fabulous statement.







For Mosaic Monday I will share some other Fall decorations around my home with a few Halloween decorations mixed in. Even my kitchen gets a Fall look and I have several Halloween decorations that are reproductions of antique pieces that I purchased several years ago. They are made of paper mache'.



Thank you for visiting my blog and make sure you check out all the other participants at both of these blogs. I have found that I get so many creative ideas from all of the participants.
