a bookpage fall mantel, and the Maison de Michele giveaway winner

I've got all the Halloween decorations put away and this is what I came up with for my fall mantel.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I went with a simple vintage book theme with a few mini pumpkins grown from our garden.
 
 
 
 
 
Old book bundles surrounding my new shabby, chippy mirror I picked up last week at the thrift store.
 
 
 
 
 I love how pieces are chipped off of it, although I realized I have to be really careful when cleaning the mirror, as more and more pieces were splintering off.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Go here to get the pattern to make your own bunting. 
 
 
 
Here's a full view of the main wall of the living room.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And now for the winner of the $50 Maison de Michele  shop giveaway:
 
 
And the winner is ...
