I finally had the time today to change my mantel to Spring and it snows.
Oh well, at least it’s green and flowering inside.
So as to my usual form, I tried to decorate with things I already had around the house.
The chalkboard was a birthday gift from my oldest a few years ago. I love it!
I have a stash of white pitchers and the bunny topiary came from Pier 1 last year.
The white frame is from my frame stash and I can’t decorate for Spring without including a bird nest.
Go here if you want to read about my real bird nest woes.
I’ve had the gate for years. I believe I purchased it at a garden shop.
The green bottle is one of the bottles I painted for St. Patrick’s Day.
The banner was my only purchase this year. I bought it at Tai Pan Trading.
I wanted something other than a wreath on the shutters this time.
I’m ready for Spring! Bring on the sunshine and warm weather.

This is darling! I love how simple and happy it is! The bunny is adorable
In love with the little nest and the bunting. Props for using what you have. I know budgets/husbands love this skill, at least in my house they do.
Thanks for leaving the comment too. I’m just so happy we made that connection. Now you need to find a picture of your Junior Prom for me
That bunny topiary thing is the cutest thing I have ever seen.
I love the mantle!
I love it! My favorite are the wire pieces, so unique. Were those something you re-purposed from something else?
Love how you styled your mantel. The shutters provide a great backdrop. I like how you used so many different elements and textures.
I’m a new follower and hope you’ll stop by, Mary Alice
