So the perfect time of the year to add in a few pieces of my flea market finds Brown Transferware that I picked up for just a few dollars each. My Wolff Pottery tall vases have become a fixture here. They are so easy to change out seasonally, and stacked on old books, they give the height that this huge mantel and ceiling need. Things can get lost here...
My little Tiger Stripe Pumpkins are nestled in a
Staffordshire sugar and creamer set with leaves. (5 bucks at the flea)
And two of my Vintage Lefton Chipmunks have come out to play. I started my collection of chipmunks and squirrels at my first flea market booth from other vendors, never paying more than 10 dollars a piece.

Did I mention that I love Fall...?
Vintage finds that last forever.

Now THAT is what I call a gorgeous fireplace and mantle! Loving this current mantle episode too. The chipmunks are so darn cute and the beautiful card table/fireplace screen is brilliant. Looking forward to the next incarnation. :)
I love this, Debra! I get so many great ideas from your mantels. The soft muted colors are perfect and I love the two little lamps. Nice balance, which is so hard for me to do as my mantel is so long. I'll just keep trying!
XO,
Jane
Lovely, Debra! I love the way you decorated the pots on either side!

Your mantel is very pretty and Fallish. I love fall too, except I never change my mantel because I get overwhelmed with it. I think I am getting inspired to do something now though.

Dear Debra, your fireplace looks so gorgeous, with your fall decorations.. I love the mirror in front of the big one, and your beautiful flower decorations on each side. The cups with pumpkins are adorable -and the table BEAUTIFUL..
Thankyou for a lovely inspirational post.

Gorgeous!!...Love the color scheme and the arrangements are so beautiful...I just always love seeing the reflecting of the beamed ceiling and the chandelier in the mirror!..
Love your beamed ceiling and chandelier. Very cool optical illusion when it appears as a rustic chevron pattern in the first picture.

Always love to see how you change out your mantel Debra....inspiring all the time :)
Lovely! That folding table is gorgeous and who could not adore the little chipmunks!
I love your mantal. It's so very Grand.
Cheers,

I can't imagine living in such a beautiful place -- and you have such a way of decorating it all! Love the whites and browns and those chipmunk figures are adorable!
Love, love, love your fall mantel!
So, so pretty. I would love to just sit there curled up with some hot chocolate on a cold day.
That cardtable is amazing, Debra! I love so much about your mantel display--your gorgeous mirror frame, and the bookstacks! I love the brown transferware as well.
I LOVE everything about your mantle!! I wish it felt more like fall here in TX so I could actually get into the season! You did an amazing job!! Love it!!!
This is such an elegant mantel! I love all of it. Especially the little pumpkins perched in the sugar bowls! So pretty Debra! I switch mine up a lot too.:) Thank you for joining HSH!
Sherry
chipmunks i can get behind, squirrels...not so much. this looks great. can't wait to see what "late fall" looks like.
Hi Debra, I love the florals on your mantel, I wish they were in my home! Thank you for sharing, very nice!
Have a good day, Nancy
You always dress up your mantel with such style, Debra. This is no exception. Love it.
Debra, Thanks so much for sharing this creative fall mantel on Simple & Sweet Fridays. I love your old folding card table. I have never seen anything like it before. So pretty in front of your fireplace. You're giving me lots of wonderful ideas!
Jody
So pretty! I wish I could even get thinking about doing a mantel! I love fall too and all it's beautiful colors! Nice work!
Debra I was just wondering, do you love Fall? lol! Girl, it makes me smile to see that you are always changing. I am the same way. My friends tease me and say that my home is different every time they come. Hey, it needs dusting so why not? Only tweaking my mantel this year for Halloween instead of changing it out totally. Love your transferware and your chipmunks are so cute. Every time I see that cardtable I fall in love all over again. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
Hugs,
Jann
Debra everything looks amazing! I LOVE your old card table. Thanx for coming to THT. I hope your week is going well.
The whole area is beautiful. You have an amazing eye for details.
You have a great eye for putting it all together Debra. Beautiful Mantel. Thank you for linking at Shabbilicious Friday.
Simply gorgeous my friend! Thanks for linking up to the party!

Hi there,
Love how I receive emails from you daily with great inspiration. I had to laugh when you said you have to get larger pieces to decorate your mantle because of its size and ceiling height. I have to be careful that I don't overdo my mantle because I have low ceilings and the mantle is small. Oh such problems:) Fun problems...:)
