I have a big box of fall decorations that I dug into to decorate the mantle on Labor Day weekend. I kept pulling out a ton of stuff, continually futzed with it all, and nothing looked quite right. Then I decided to go with the old "less is more" theme. A wreath of leaves, some different little pumpkins and the wood leaf garland I crafted last year hanging on one of the old windows I have.
Now I can't wait for real fall weather to match the mantle.
