Fall mantle - Page 5

@BabyYoda Thanks! I now have hope that the last few pics I have may get here after all! lol I love TJX and Home Goods. The one I go too always looks well kept up and clean, and usually get a good variety of things for holidays or change of seasons.

Big Lots is next on the list for their store is much like TJX, and they care what their customers think. The blue harvest pieces are so pretty! I may break down and add something from that line, but want to check the farm stand in a few weeks first. Last fall they had absolutely amazing pumpkins in so many textures and shades that it took me a minute to believe they were real. They were that nice.

I have very limited storage now, as I can't do my attic stairs anymore. We have nothing stored there now. There's a 4 tote limit in my spare room closet for now that can't be exceeded by much. That includes Christmas too! We've pared down close to 75% of decor I'll bet... I've read minimalist blogs and books for some time now, and for us it just made sense. We're more *right sized* than minimal I feel. I can't think of anything we've missed so far, so we're good. pinky

@pinky ann, I'm glad your pics worked for whatever reason. LOL

You have a very pretty table display and I love the type and color of the berries you used in your wreath. Very nice!

LOVE Big Lots. They have a pumpkin topiary for $20 and Pier 1 has the exact same one for $50.

@SHOPR Thanks SHOPR. I'm happy.

@panda1234 I'm not surprised about the price difference. I've seen that before with other stores and items and wonder why? I do like Pier One, but just don't get there often. Happy decorating! pinky

I told the manager of Big Lots about seeing this item that they sell in Pier One. He responded there are only so many manufactures of these items and they sell them to everyone. Lesson........check Big Lots first.

@panda1234 That certainly makes sense. I know lots of other products are in that same position. pinky.

Yes you are right @pinky ann i have seen the same decor in different places at many different prices. I am friendly with the manager of my Big Lots and he let me knows when certain items comes in as last year I was looking for some lights and he called me right away as they sell out fast at $3 a box.

Hot Damm! We got a photo!!!!!!! I didn't do anything different this time, so I have no idea what happened, but I'm grateful and thrilled!!!! this is the display on our kitchen table. It's an oval shape, close to the wall so I like having a small accent lamp there in addition to whatever else I decide will look nice for the season.

The wreath is one I made and stays on the brick wall in the kitchen. I love that type of berries, but unfortunately, so do all of the cats! Here I can safely use them. Simple but it says it!

I guess this is it for now, as I can't get anymore cooperation getting the pics posted. I am very happy these worked, and hope anyone interested checks back to see them. pinky

@pinky ann I love the wreath, love berries. Is your velvet pumpkin scented? Recently, I bought some and the description did not mention scent, so I hate them, and am going to return them due to the odor. I have some that are not scented, so those I will keep.
