Two Halloween Mantels


I love the neutral backdrop of my new mantel art piece.
Read about it here.




I was inspired to create some Halloween mantel designs.
I used a cute raven figure that I found in Alaska on our trip.



The candelabra was a thrift store find a few years ago.  
I only use it for fall decorating. I love it with the orange tapers. It looks like a 60s piece.   


I pulled out a piece of my black transferware. It mimics the lacy quality of the new mantel art and the netting. 
I got the netting at Dollar Tree.  

This second mantel is inspired by owls.
I love owls! We have a pair of Great Horned Owls near our house and if we are lucky we spot them in the woods. The pair talks to each other. 



I found this darling vintage owl lantern at one of the thrift stores quite a few years ago. It was before owls were all the rage so it was only 99 cents.


I love this little thing so it usually gets a place of honor around here during October.
I added these little owl die cuts from Dollar Tree.


I just taped them onto my new mantel art. 



I made the owl banner out of a Robert Stanley craft kit from Hobby Lobby. 



The feather owl also came form Dollar tree.


I can't stand how cute this is.....



so now I have two to choose from.
I may keep one up for a week and then put the other one back up.



 I am having so much fun, I think I have another one in mind.
Black, white, vintage with a dash of orange.

    1. Thanks, Tammy for the feature. I tried to leave a comment on your blog and for some reason I couldn't. I'll try again tomorrow.
