Caw Caw! A mantel for the Birds.

Bring on the Halloween spookiness. 
I've been in the mood to make a new wreath but wasn't quite sure what I wanted.
I headed to Michael's but wasn't too inspired. 
Until, I spotted this corn stalk number practically hidden in the back. I loved it!
(Why so hidden?)  I thought all it really needed was some crows. Done!

For the mantel, 
I wanted to use what I had on hand to bring on the scary.
I used old chippy frames, hung and angles with fishing line.

Clocks set at midnight.
A scull bought a garage sale for .50 cents.
A scale I picked up for $4 over the summer.
My favorite idea: I used my stash of vintage books to line the mantel. 
Simply line up open books.  Easy. Not scary. 

Totally fun and different. No hanging ghosts. No witches. 

I tried to keep it simple.

I threw in some clothes pinned reader cards. 

I went through my stack and found words I could play with.

Be careful of  The Thing......

Fun! Boo!
