My Fall Mantel

I am usually not late to parties....

(it cant start til we are there!) 

but it seems I missed all the Fall Mantel Linky Parties!

It was kind of hard to get into the "Fall" mood

when it has been in the high 90's all week!

So last nite I switched up the mantel to finally reflect 

the fact that we are halfway thru October.....

(um hello .... is someone going to tell the weather man?!)

One day I will get better at taking/editing pics.

Until then, this is what you get!

Ha.  

 

our wood letterpress letters
"STIGLO"
  

My lovely Santos that I won from My Sweet Savannah.

Her colors are perfect for Autumn.
I have a candle placed on a stand behind her wings.

When we light it she glows....just like an angel ;)





(she used to be in my bedroom, but I think she likes her new spot!)

a stack of old books with a vintage flashlight

it wouldn't be fall without a Yosemite pic!
(from our honeymoon) 

the soft glow from the glass sconces is so pretty...
i love the feathers that I added to my fall arrangement!

Stone vase wrapped with twine and and old ledger page

I added a few more "warm" colored touches....

old piece of fretwork
antique clock face
vintage spools
a white pumpkin tied with burlap ribbon


Even if it doesn't feel like Autumn outside....
It sure is inside!

Fall?!

this guy was sure confused!
Hahaha...

HAPPY WEEKEND!!

XOX,

Special Day & Remnants of the Past

I heart this day......

Oct 6th 

and more importantly,

this guy!

Happy Anniversary to my love,

My Stig!!

XOX

I will be celebrating by going here:

 My loving husband has decided to switch

 our annual tradition of our Anniversary trip to Yosemite 

until next weekend....

so I can attend Judy's show!

 I can't think of a better Anniversary gift!

Can you?

Didn't think so 

:) 

My first stop is The Vintage Bricoleur....

 (they had oodles and oodles of amazing stuff)

{not to mention a real chicken!} 

so I can (hopefully) snag up some goodies at Terry & Co's booth

Then I have to run (probably literally) over to Poetic Pumpkins

before all these bad boys get gobbled up!

 There are going to be a bunch of new vendors....

Queen of Tarte

Ormolulu 

Fun Junk 

Antie's Joy 

 Burlap and Boxwood

Lipstick Gypsy

It seems that Judy snagged some of the Farm Chicks vendors

and somehow drugged dragged them down 

to SLO along with all their vintage creations and finds! 

So even though the gorgeous barn venue is changing,

I think the talented participants will make up for it.

Oh I almost forgot the special guests!

Brooke and Steve Giannetti 

will be there for their book signing! 

I will fill you all in on my "Anniversary" weekend at Remnants

sometime next week....

Til then ~ 

   

XOX,
