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!

  1. Everything is so beautiful! I'm ready to decorate for Spring and Easter, too. I have been wondering if it's too early to put my Easter decorations out, too.

  3. Penny, Thanks for the beautiful Spring decorations. I too love your animals and farm influence in your decorations. I found the cow and found a larger pig with a daisy in her mouth online at Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby may also have the smaller pigs with the wellies, but no cows. I wish they would come out with the goose in the over shoes from the movie Mama and Paw Kettle. I think the goose was called Girdie.
    Thanks for all fun things you bring to us.

  4. Thanks for the breath of Spring! I look out my windows to see nearly two feet of snow and very cold temperatures. I especially love the boston terrier as I have owned several over the years.
    I must go feed the wild birds that are trying to survive here.

  8. You never fail to disappoint! I needed a break from the winter blues, after a Michigan blizzard, and there you are! I have to study every picture, so I don't miss a thing!

    Can I ask where you found the throw pillow on the sofa, with the pickup full of flowers? I have a bench that needs this pillow!

    Thanks so much!

  11. I really need to do this in my own home with the garland. I love the clothespins because they add a little bit of country to it. Thanks for sharing with #OMHGWW and see you next week!
