Feeling a little antsy and craving the outside was the inspiration behind the decor of my mantle in my family room...hmmmm...looks like I have summer more in mind!
I love seashells and pinecones together. Reminds me of my summers in Long Beach Island....
Hope you are having a great day!

Beautiful mantle. I love Spring/Summer and you are certainly getting me in the mood for decorating...
Love to you,

Your mantel looks just fabulous....where does every one get their sea shells? They are HARD to find out here in West Texas...haha. Guess some of the stores might have some. I would like to fill a pretty jar with a few for my bathroom. We are SOOOOO far away from a beach, I am afraid shells would look out of place here. Your's looks so pretty!
Thanks for sharing....bj
after the snowfaal we just got,boy am I ever ready for spring!
Your mantle is beautiful! I too am ready for spring. I love bringing the outdoors inside. Your home is lovely. RoseMarie
Purty mantle, Ruth. You did a good job! I'm ready for spring. I want to open the windows and air out my stale house. Then move out all the furniture and hose it down!! Maybe a little extreme spring cleaning but it would do the job!
Hugs,

What a beautiful arrangement, Ruth! Love the picture, too -- how you can see the rest of the room in the mirror. I love shells and pinecones, too. They are little works of art..
Did you make it OK through the wind and rain? We were lucky -- no loss of power, and only a little water in the cellar.
Have a great week!

Beautiful mantle. Dont' you love this time of year.
I love this "Holly"...you have the touch!!! Niknnora....Rosie
I know what you mean about being so ready for spring, and I have filled that longing by updating my Charm & Grace main website with all things spring. There are many spring-y photos there that you might enjoy.

I love this collection and you have displayed it beautifully! I wanted to know how you decorated your blog? I am new and this is quite frustrating to me.....
I love your blog and read it daily.

Nothing is prettier than a vignette with natural things...shells, pine cones, rocks...and you have used them all is such a lovely manner!
Spring is almost here!! I hope!

I love your mantle...gorgeous! For me they remind me of the Northwest....the seashells from the sea and the pinecones from the mnts. First time here and loved my visit! Cherry
Oh, thank you for your suggestion on what to use on my breakfast room windows. Red and white/black and white and trim sounds fabulous.
I am on my way to the fabric store....
hugs, dear little friend....

Gorgeous mantel! I love what I have seen of your home from that pic! You have stripes too! My living room is much lighter...but is big stripes of ivory in flat and glossy paint.
Thanks for visiting so that I could find you!
I have enjoyed reading your blog so much! The pictures are lovely too! Not sure how I found you, glad I did though!
Wishing you and yours a blessed Easter Sunday!
Blessings,
Mindy
Great insight. I NEVER would have put shells and Pine cones together but it JIVES doesn't it? If only I had a mantle, I would copy you!
Happy Easter!
Jennifer
oh, holly...i so hope you haven't quit us so soon.
you are doing such a lovely job on your blog...it takes awhile to get "in the swing" of things but it will come easier as you go.
Also, just had a thought that maybe you or yours are sick?? I hope not but I am saying a prayer for you...
hugs, bj
Your summery mantel is BEAUTIFUL!
