I know, I promised to show you ALL of my Fall decor around the house, but we’ll start with the Fall Holiday Shelf, since I like to keep the Holiday Shelf posts as their own little entity. I’ll show you the entire house tomorrow!
So…
…there she is!
Jerrod bought me these pieces (the Indians and Pilgrims) on our first Thanksgiving, and I’m so thrilled that they look so nice here on the shelf!
Aren’t they pretty?!
They just look so regal on either end of the shelf – I love the balance!
And I love the pretty little details!
I threw in some Fall leaves…
…decorative balls…
…faux corn…
…and just plain pretties!
The piece of art in the middle was actually mine from my office at my full-time job. It was a place-holder until I found the “real” piece I wanted on the wall, and when I found it, I still had this. It was my inspiration for the shelf!
And I love the contrast of burlap and painted canvas!
Oh, and the banner. LOVE the banner! It came from Brie over at Darling Doodles!
CLICK HERE to see her post on the banner! I thought it was perfect for the style I was working with!
I printed it up, cut it out, hole-punched it and strung it on some twine.
So there you go, folks! The Fall Holiday Shelf!
Tomorrow, the rest of the Fall decor!
How about you? Are you finished decorating your home for the new season?
Love the Fall season!
I’ve gotten started with the decorations- It’s a wonderful time of year!
PS love your inspiration!
Thanks, Denys! It’s my favorite time of year, too 🙂
LOVE your holiday shelf! The banner is adorable…well, everything is. The Pilgrims and Indians are beautiful, and the saying is perfect.It’s perfect for Fall. thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Lorelai! I love Fall, and I know you love it, too! 🙂
This is super cute! Thanks so much for sharing! Fall is my favorite season!
Mine too, Sarah!
Kristen…your link to Darling Doodles takes you straight to Brie’s main page and not the Fall Banner… 🙁 I’m having trouble finding it. Do you have it bookmarked by any chance?

The next line of text that says “CLICK HERE to see her post on the banner” will take you to it!
Whoops! Sorry, how did I miss that! Silly me… 🙂
No worries! Maybe I need to make it more clear?
Nope…it’s there I just missed it when I went back looking for it. Saw the other one, and clicked it. 🙂
Thanks for being on the lookout! 🙂
So pretty! It (almost) makes me want to decorate too. I’m way to simple to decorate for every season. In my house it is Christmas and non Christmas season, that’s it. Keep on posting, I might get hooked 😉
Aw 🙂 All my decorating started because, after our first Christmas, we didn’t want to take the tree down, because it was so pretty. I told my husband I wanted to keep the tree up and decorate it for different things. He liked that idea…until I started talking about all the decor I would need to buy…and then he shut that down pretty quick. I settled for a shelf that I could decorate often, since we don’t have a fireplace/mantel 🙂
Very creative and cute. 🙂

Thank you!
Oooooh – I absolutely love ALL your fall decor! This is my favourite season (and my favourite one for decorating).
Wishing you a lovely day.

Thank you, Jennifer! Fall is my favorite, too! 🙂
How beautiful and clever are you designs! Hubby and I have been making fun of those decorative balls for years but the way you use them is really pretty cool!
HA! Yes, we’ve made fun of them, too LOL until I ran into a few things that just needed “something”!
Oh Kristen – this is gorgeous!! Love the banner, but I really love that you got those Indians & Pilgrims as a gift – so sweet! I really need to do this for my new home. It’s been a long time since I’ve decorated for seasons…
Thank you! I SO enjoy seasonal decor!
I really like your shelf! Very festive and the decorative balls are my favorite! (Psst…You should use them w/XMas lights somehow in a couple of months.)
Thanks, Bonnie! That’s a GREAT idea, too!!!
