Last week I said that I would probably tweak my mantel after sharing it and tweak, I did!
Here’s how it looked when I posted last week.
I thought the daffodils were a bit tall in relation to the sheet moss banner, but I certainly didn’t anticipate this daffodil problem.
They were just following my instructions, though!
Oh well. My daffodil mishap turned out to be a great thing.
It led to a new project and made space for two adorable pots of mini daffodils housed in a pair of $1.99 buckets from HomeSense. As an added bonus, my planter box can sit on the fireplace hearth.
Here is Spring Mantel Version 2.0
My painted bottles and plant did a flip-flop.
Did you figure out what my sneak preview was?
Smartie Pants!
A tutorial for my newest sign will be posted later this week. I used a totally new (to me) technique and it was super easy.
Even though they’re not from my mantel, check out these three beauties. I am loving my garden (and bottles as vases) this year!
The blush-coloured tulip was the centrepiece for our Easter meal. It found a new home in my Crown jar after a squirrel ripped it out of my porch planter last week. Another happy accident.
One more thing before I go – our delicious Easter dessert, courtesy of Pinterest.
Chocolate chips, peanut butter, butterscotch chips, chow mein noodles and Cadbury mini eggs.
So good.
You will not regret it.
Claire,
ReplyDeleteI saw those nests over at Debbie's and I wanted to make them too! I love your new sign :)

Awwww.. I love it! The sign is great and the mini buckets are so so cute! Cant wait to see the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteLove the mantel! I can't wait for the sign tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI had never eaten chow mein noodle cookies until this week-end. Less weird than I thought. The ones I ate didn't have cute eggs on them. Game changer.
