Fall Shelf

I keep seeing great mantle displays all around blog land, but the fact of the matter is I'm too lazy to re-do my mantle right now just to have to put it all back together, so I decided to use an old cabinet door that is painted and ready to become a sign, and besides the outdoor lighting is so much better.

I can't even remember where I got this pumpkin, but I've had it for a long time.  It's the only pumpkin I have kept.  I love the spider and the whole design of it.  It's just the perfect size too.  Here I paired it with some twig balls and old garden tools.  These are the script flowers I made out of vintage paper.

This was kind of fun to put together.

Maybe next time I will try my mantle, but until then, thanks for stopping by.  I have included one final photo with a close up of the spider.  I so wish I could find this image.  It's one of the best spider illustrations I have ever seen.  It's probably from a historical entomology book.  Isn't he beautiful?  Too bad he's just a creepy spider.

I'm partying at...
