ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the Quimper Blog and leaving a comment. I really appreciate it! ~ Sarah
It's beautiful Frenchy! Love it!! To me, decorating your mantle is the beginning of fall...everything else just kinda falls into place once the mantle is set!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Mantel and I love the way you have it decorated for Fall. It was amazing to watch the transformation in stages, layer upon layer. Thanks for much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! I am a bit partial to roosters.....lol
ReplyDeleteCara
That looks wonderful!! I saw this on Between U & Me :)
ReplyDeleteYour mantel is just perfect for the fall season. It's nice to see the steps of your display too. TFS.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - to show the decorating progress/process of the mantel. I have a leopard print side chair next to my fireplace too. Great minds think alike. :) but I am really crushing on that mirror to the right. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking this to Motivated Monday.

ReplyDeleteVery cute mantel! Thanks for linking up for Friday Favorites!
ReplyDeleteA perfect Fall mantel...so many wondrous items on there. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm officially jealous of stone fireplace and that 'beefy' mantel! I have the wimpiest mantel on the planet. Guess how deep it is? It is a whopping 4" deep (I think that includes the beveled edge, which can't hold anything of course). Almost NOTHING fits on my mantel, even garland falls off! So every year I try to get creative with what goes on the wall above the mantel. But I dream of a fireplace such as yours. Thanks for sharing!
