| 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! |
 |
| I added some gathered burlap to the existing ruffles..and made a burlap ruffled fireplace "screen"... |
 |
| On one side is a moss covered bunny, birdhouse, cabbage and moss covered ball... |
 |
| On the other side is a matching floral design with another moss covered bunny in a birdcage. |
 |
| I tried to get a photo of the picture over the fireplace...after 20 tries, this is the best. It's a beautiful front porch..this picture hung in my office (I've been retired 5 years) and kept me calm when I looked at it! |
 |
| Here's a vintage bunny and one of my mothers starched doiies that I am using for her Easter basket.. |
 |
| I sprayed a cardboard egg holder green and put a sweet little glittered bunny with a crown in it... |
 |
| I just had to show you our new recliners that we bought last week...ours were completely worn out! We got a leather one.... |
 |
| and one that swivels and rocks and is soooo comfly!! |
 |
| I used the same theme for the coffee table... |
 |
| I have a decorated grape vine wreath with a bird in a wire cloche in the center... |
 |
| I had to take the cloche off to get a good picture of the sweet little bird...she is in a nest that fell out of one of the trees in the front yard. We have lots of birds in our yard and the nests get blown out. |
 |
| I have a fairy and some birds on the wreath... |
 |
| moss, sticks from the yard, pussy willow, spring blossoms, and some marble eggs... |
 |
| On the left is our fireplace from last year and on the right is this years. It's amazing how your style is ever changing! http://www.funkyjunkinteriors.net http://twelveoeight.blogspot.com http://www.lizmarieblog.com/2013/03/hop-to-it-linky-party/ http://diyshowoff.com/2013/03/12/spring-fairy-garden/ http://housewifehowtos.com/linkage/link-party-2/how-to-tuesday-link-party-12-and-features/ http://www.theshabbycreekcottage.com/2013/03/transformation-thursday-no-195.html http://www.jenniferrizzo.com/2013/03/fabulously-creative-friday.html http://debbie-debbiedoos.com/2013/03/all-things-spring-its-a-spring-thing-party-has-started.html |

Hello Penny!!
