Nature Themed Spring Mantle

This is our new spring mantle in the family room.  I went with a nature theme this year and used lots of natural elements.....with a little romance on the side!  

Penelope goes to the Ball

Penelope (she's named after me...lol) is wearing her newest spring frock and she''s going to the ball at The Polka Dot Closet.    I got her new suit at the auction this past Saturday.   I'm not sure about the history of it ,but the seller told me that it was from the late 1800's and that it was a guard uniform for the Odd Fellows or  Rebekahs.  I would love to hear from anyone that knows something about the history of this beautiful garment!
