As some of you know, I have a bit of a dish problem…I rarely see a plate that I don’t like. Which is why I should just stay out of TJMaxx. It’s hard to walk out of there without one or two plates and the last time I went was no exception. They had a few dinner and salad plates of the Woodland Harvest pattern, Victorian English Pottery by Edward Challinor. LOVE!!! I love brown transferware anyway so the minute I saw them I put a few in my cart. When I came home I re-did my fall mantel. So this is My Fall Mantel Take 2!

I liked my original mantel which you can see here but after a while I missed my mirror in my fireplace. We get such lovely light in that room and the mirror with the tin backing does such a great job of reflecting it. I love how bright this room is in the a.m. so I put away the basket of pumpkins that I had there and deleted a few things from the top.
I also found this great candle. Apparently I’m one of the last people to know about WoodWick candles? They have this funny wick that creates a sort of crackling sound like a fire when lit. That’s the Harvest Moon scent – just lovely!
Here are the pheasant plates, they also have deer and rabbit patterns too.
I love the acorn leaf border – so perfect for fall!
That’s it – I’m not touching this mantel again until Christmas!
Until Christmas? Now whom are we kidding here? LOL! Love those plates. Love, love, love them. Your first mantel was great, your second one is, too. And I am sure that every other incarnation will be wonderful as well. I’m convinced that all bloggers enjoy tweaking.
No really….. 🙂
I love your mantel’s new look with the new plates. I’ll be changing out my October decor for November decor minus the orange and rust colours as once the leaves are off here in another 2 weeks it will be quite dull outside. I get in the pre-Christmas mood. That’s one advantage of having Thanksgiving in October! 🙂
SO beautiful! Love the wreath:) Have a blessed day dear Manuela, HUGS!
Beautiful! Yes you do have a lot of dishes but they are all so nice.
My town has a fairly new TJMaxx. My son shops there often but I have only gone once, maybe I shook go more often.
NO don’t do it! Once you’re in your in and it’s hard to get out 🙂 It’s like Hobby Lobby and Pinterest they suck you in. Sometimes it’s better to just never start something!
Ahhh, I’ll have to check TJ Maxx here for those plates! Cute and perfect for Autumn!
I like this mantel – I think it looks great.

Love those plates! You are not the last to know about woodwick candles, I will be checking those out!
Oh good glad to know I’m not the only one. I got mine at TJMaxx and I’m sure it’ll last forever – it’s huge!
Well, thank you very much, Manuela! Now I have to go to TJ Maxx and try and find those plates. : ) I think Home Goods had them last year and I went crazy trying to find the rabbit ones. They are great for Fall and look good on your mantel {and I’m sure would look great in a table setting, too}.
LOL! So sorry! Whatever you do don’t buy them on ebay. They go for $20 per dinner plate when I paid $4.99 at TJX. I’d like a few rabbit ones too!
Your mantel looks so festive with all the fall colors, and your newest plates fit in perfectly! There is an awful lot of temptation at TJMaxx, so I’m glad there’s not a store too close to me. Self-control is not in my nature. 🙂
Love it! I want to do the doily thing on my pumpkins too:)
Just brought down my tote from the attic.
Have a wonderful weekend
I love your new plates – and I love the way you’ve put your mantel together. You always inspire me, my friend!

Thank Isora, you’re so sweet!
Your mantle looks great, I actually like it better this way…and now darn it, I HAVE to go to TJ Maxx and look for those dishes! I l♥ve them, and they would look great for Thanksgiving with the brown transferware set I got at Salvation Army. Oh Manuela, why must you tempt me like this? Lol
I like this mantel better too. I don’t know…sometimes I think I have too much stuff going on and other times I think more is better 🙂
The dinner plates are $4.99 and the salad plates are $3.99 which is not bad. If you look on ebay they go for so much more – I think people buy them at TJX and then turn around and sell them on ebay for 3x’s as much!
Hey Manuela,
Love the plates. I’ve never been lucky enough to find the rabbit ones which I would probably have to get even though I certainly do not need them! LOL One plate addict can always appreciate another one right? Your mantel is lovely and speaks Fall so nicely.
what a lovely mantel you have created. I love the mirror in the back, add such interest and “layers”/depth
your mantel looks lovely! For me, it’s HomeGoods. Oh the trouble I can get into at that store!
Besides the lovely plates, I especially LOVE the orange doilies on the white pumpkins! Did you make those or where did you get them? I could probably make some… I may have to give it a try. They are so cute. Also LOVE that darling pillow with the pumpkin on it on the chair! I don’t think we have a TJ Max where I live so I’m safe!
Hi Marilyn,
I got those doilies at Michael’s. They come in a couple of colors and are in the dollar section. I just cut out the center so the stem of the pumpkin can go through and then I used Mod Podge. White doilies on orange pumpkins would be pretty too. The pillow is from my friend Kathy’s etsy store. I did a post on them a few days ago with a link to her store. She has all kinds of cute pillows!
