My Summer Mantles

Here is my "inside" mantle for the summer. It is very simple with a coastal flair.


My all time favorite summer thing is ferns. I put one inside an old crate I picked up at an antique store years ago and put it inside the fireplace.




I added some fern fronds to my blue jars.






I pulled out our shells from last year's beach vacation and put them in my Hemingway Hurricane.




This is a driftwood garland I bought at Home Goods last year on clearance and I just laid it out on the mantle. So that is my no cost, quick, summer mantle. Hope you like it!




Here is my mantle out back. This is my favorite one to decorate!





I used several things I already had and bought these paper lanterns at Target in the Easter clearance aisle. Wave Petunias came from Home Depot, and I bought the Mason Jars at various garage sales. They have a tea light in them. With all the colors going on, I decided to use a white window to hang my sign from. It says, "The earth delights to feel your bare feet." It looks so pretty lit up at night.





Hope you are enjoying summer! Thanks for stopping by.

My Little Spot out Back but...no camera again!

I am wanting to show you some projects that I am working on in my backyard and on my patio, but my hubby keeps taking the camera without asking me. Can you believe him??? I even took some pictures this morning, but did not get a chance to download them. Anyway, I have been working on an outdoor mantle and have been spray painting some other things with lots of fun colors. I am loving the Krylon paint colors and the $2.57 price tag on it at Wal-Mart.
As soon as I can get my hands on that camera again, I will share some pictures with you....
Can I just say that I LOVE this summer schedule??? Today has consisted of sprinklers, slides, popsicles, watermelon, and spray painting. What could be better?

Simple Summer Mantle

I was needing a fresh, clean look for summer and I love how it turned out!

I have had these vinyl letters and finally found a place for them. They were pretty easy to do.


A gold 50 cent garage sale frame and a summer favorite of mine...ferns.



I love the touch of blue from the shutter. It just says summer.




Some summer reading.





AA little lamplight.






This apron is a gift I got from a friend this week. I just love it hanging in my kitchen! Thanks Lynne!
HAPPY SUMMER!
