Well, if I can’t go to a farmhouse, I’m going to bring the farmhouse to me. Via my mantle for starters.
I took the TV off the top of the mantle and brought it down to the red bench.
Then I started having some fun. Beginning with Bessie the black and white cow.
I added the old weathered house/barn. And put a few fallish-themed items into the mix.
Added some salad plates that caught my fancy from the kitchen. Whose colors reminded me of leaves, young and old. And an antique sign that had been hanging someplace else.
Of course my red truck had to be part of this vignette. What is a farmyard without an old work horse truck to travel across the pasture?
Bessie had to have a prominent spot. Being the only critter in the farmyard.
So this is my farmyard/fall mantle. I think I need some more farm critters…
Linking up to Rhoda’s Thrifty Treasures and Susan’s Metamorphosis Monday.
