Happy November Mantel

Happy November!

 I made my little picket fence during the summer just out of a pack of wooden posts from Lowes.

My Banner is a free printable that I found HERE.  I made this last year by sewing it to brown lunch sacks.

I added a lot of natural elements to my decor this year.  I was going for the most inexpensive and natural look as possible.  Vases filled with dried split peas, pumpkins, leaves and pine cones.

 I added the branch of dry leaves that we found up the canyon on a family drive.  I was a parent volunteer on a field trip to a local pumpkin patch/corn maze and the nice owners let me pick a couple of old cobs of corn to bring home for free.  So I dried those in my oven to add to my decor.  I have had the scarecrows for several years and they always visit this time of year.

I love November.
