Mantle Project and More Fall decorating

Good morning, I hope you are all cooling off and feeling more fall like in your area.  I'm loving the weather in Indiana lately! When I attended the Country Living Fair this last weekend I found some galvanized buckets that I had been looking for.  I was inspired by Aunt Ruthie's Mantle.  I sort of combined a few of her looks here.  I bought some raffia and burlap ribbon at Jo Ann's.  My son and I gathered some twigs outside (free!) I love that.  They wanted 7.99 for some at the craft store. I spent a little over 20 dollars on everything.  I still have a ton of raffia left too.  So here is the new look...

I have a few more pictures to share I've been having issues with pictures the loading the last few days.  I have some new recipes and a trip to the apple orchard to share. 

Have a blessed day!
