Summer Mantel 2014

Hello, hello dear friends!

I feel like my motto should be,

"So much to do, so little time."

We are looking at maybe another week or two of total

craziness and then, with any luck,

I can finally put some of these grandiose ideas/projects

that I've been dreaming up into action.

Why is it that I am always full of ideas when

I don't have the time to try any of them?

Anyway, enough of the complaining,

let's take a look at the summer mantel.

My plan was light, bright & simple.  

Aqua, lime green & white.

I had everything you see here except for the

spools of green baker's twine.

I found them at Hobby Lobby...they're so cute!

I bought this wooden window thing a few years back while

we were on vacation in the Lake George area.  

 I have no idea what its former life was,

but someone was smart enough to repurpose it with these burlap

pockets.  It was filled with red geraniums when I bought it

 and it was love at first sight!

A little something for interest at the bottom of the fireplace.

Light, bright & simple....

Happy Summer!
