Getting festive: Spring Mantle

Special Tuesday post! I was excited about my little project on Sunday and wanted to share. I am not much for decorating for every holiday. I prefer seasonal decoration except for Halloween or Christmas but I couldn't resist brightening up our mantle a little. A little disclaimer: we need to scrub the fireplace. It got a great workout this winter but I haven't gotten around to it.

The theme is spring but you will see Easter eggs in the vases. This decorating was all free since I just used what I had and what my mom gave me from her collection. But enough talk. Let's get some more sunshine in this blog.


I made this banner by printing out the free labels on BHG.com and spelling out Springtime!. I hung it up with yarn. A free and simple banner.


It was simple to grab things around the house to tie it all in. The wrapped wine bottles, you may remember are from an earlier project. I grabbed books with light, spring colors and various vases for the decorative wooden eggs that my mom gave me.


Here is the other angle.


For fun I added some really colorful easter baskets for a punch of strong color.


Thats all I got. Short and Sweet. Did you decorate for spring? Send me a picture. Anyone else love spring as much as me? :)

  2. I just did ours last weekend. Probably should write a post about it:). I really like the Easter grass in the vases with the flowers! Thanks for sharing on Handmade Tuesdays.
