I thought I would share a few miscellaneous things with you today. When we went to The Flower Fields I did a little shopping in the nursery attached. They have some really cute gift items and their prices are amazing. See the flower vase? I paid $12.95 for it and it has that cute little top that you can use for something like long stem roses.
The little lavender planter was $6.95 and the two little potted artificial plants inside were $3.95 each. Are they not adorable? The 3 bottles I ordered through the mail from Decor Steals. I just love the little crowns. Actually I have some wall decorative crowns arriving in the mail any day now. I am working on putting kind of a French Country Royal theme on my fireplace mantel.
I will show you when it's done!
Next up is this plate. I have to tell you the background to this plate.
See the platter in the top right corner. That platter belonged to my husbands Nana, her name was Mable. I always keep this platter on our hutch, but now our hutch is filled with my Jim Shore pieces. One day many years ago I came upon this collectible plate. Mark's grandmother had a hutch in the hallway by their kitchen that looked so much like the picture on this plate. See the platter in the background. I know the platter is different but I just could not resist buying this collectible plate which is called "Mable's Kitchen."
The crowns arrived! I just set them on the mantle to show you.
This is a work in progress!
See this cute wire wall thingy.
I use clothespins to hang cards on it!
Hope you have a great week ahead.
I'd say your mantle is crowned with success!
ReplyDeleteEverything is just gorgeous but I do love the crowns very much.
