Spring Mantel

Since this is the last week in February,    I am really getting in the mood to decorate for spring.     In my mind,    March is the beginning of spring....lol!

Since Easter is still over 50 days away,    I am waiting a little longer to bring out  my Easter decor.

I may only make a few changes to my Spring mantel when it gets closer to Easter.    or I may just change it completely out.     Depends on how much time and energy I have.         

I have been fighting a cold for the last couple of weeks,   and my Spring mantel has really cheered me up!

The centerpiece of the mantel is a cow and two pigs.   We are expecting rain this spring,   so they have put their "wellies" on just to be safe.

I have this end of the mantel decorated for spring with a greenhouse and windmill.......

I also have a truck loaded with spring flowers.

The other end of the mantel is decorated pretty much the same way,    with the addition of  two pink ceramic pigs......

Did you notice that I added flowers to the top of  the brick wall behind the truck?

Of course,    I had to make a spring banner for the mantel!

I found a tulip banner at Home Goods ......

I spruced my store bought tulip banner by clipping home made checked pennants in between the tulips.      

I added some spring touches to the existing decor on  the stands and display cabinets on each side of the fireplace.

  

I put a big display of tulips on the hearth.......

Next to the tulips,    is a sweet Boston Terrier in a basket  holding a Hello Spring sign.

I have a spring chicken and her chicks centerpiece on the coffee table.......

Her front side.......

Her back side.......

As you can see,    I like to use lots of green in my spring decorating.       I can't wait til the nursery's are stocked with gorgeous spring flowers!

I enjoy your visits so much,   please stop by again soon!
