Thanksgiving mantle

Sitting on the couch all day yesterday, got my creative juices flowing and I was able to complete our Thanksgiving mantle today.

The big picture

The iron candle holders on each side of the mirror were a gift from my Mom; and from left to right: Vase from my friend Shannon with fake flowers and branches from my parent's yard, a photo frame, my willow tree angel, in the middle: a fall cupcake wreath and gold leafy garland from Michaels, "Give Thanks" sign I made, and on the right: I Love You sculpture from my Mom, a pumpkin, and another willow tree angel.


I got the banner idea and printables from HERE. I added some patterned paper behind the letters and then added some plain brown paper, which I embellished with a Martha Stewart punch, and added some green raffia to hang it.

I'm pretty happy with how it came together, although I want to paint the mirror a mossy green to add some color to the space.

How do you decorate for Thanksgiving?
