It’s time to spruce up the fireplace and Fall is the perfect time to decorate! I have plenty of dried flowers from the summer gardens and it’s time to use them to bring nature indoors since any day now frost will be upon us. I definitely have some favorites that dried well and kept their color – statice, strawflower and globe amaranth work great!

I found myself using the fireplace as a book rack … several piles of books lined the brick bottom, so I relocated these and dusted off the mantel. The decorating will take some time and I plan to post my progress as I move forward with it.
The view of the fireplace is actually what you see as you enter the front door of our home and it should have a major impact to Wow all my visitors (like I have so many visitors, not really!) One day soon the house will be ready to sell so we can move on down to our dream home permanently, so the first impression needs to be Awesome and from the looks of it …. it needs work! The gardening work that I have faithfully blogged about all summer is ending soon and I will have more time to craft and this blog will encourage me. I will have more time to spend on the website as well.
