A garland of faux autumn leaves has been added to the fireplace mantel.
There is a beautiful lace runner on it, too, which was given by a dear friend.
Usually in the fall, the cranberry glass pieces are moved from the mantel but not this year.
My thinking was that the pretty pink color of the glass might meld nicely with the color of the autumn leaves. It does.
There is a pretty maple/hazelnut candle burning on the mantel, too. It is filling the living room with delectable fragrance.
The little Victorian ceramic lady is there, basking in the light of the candle.
Remember how I found her, all dirty and almost hidden, on the $1.00 table at a yard sale this past summer?
She's all cleaned up now, and scrubbed clean. She's beautiful!
The autumn fireplace mantel is now complete.
