Well, it’s hard to believe, but Fall is upon us and I though it was time to switch out my Summer mantel design for one more fitting of Fall.
.
.
I used the same apothecary jars I had on the mantel in the Summer. I usually keep them up all year and just switch out the fillers to work with the season – makes it easy!
.
.
One jar is filled with wheat. I bought a bunch, split it up into four parts, and then made little bundles by twisting a piece of raffia around it.
.
.
Another is filled with Indian corn I picked up on clearance at Pottery Barn last year. I love all the colors!
.
.
.
I filled the last jar with artificial pears that came from Target.

I took one of the branches out of the vase (shown above) and glued on a few dried Japanese Maple leaves. I dried a whole bunch of these last year just by placing them between the pages of my phone book. They have been there all year! I guess I don’t use the phone book too often.
.
.
Just use a glue gun to attach the leaves. I love how this looks! I think I might dry a whole bunch more this year to use next year!
.
.
Last year I used a few of the dried leaves and put them in a frame. This is so easy and doesn’t cost a thing!
.
.
I also have a dried ginkgo leaf in another frame.
.
.
I used acorns as a vase filler around a candle.
