Summer Mantels

Share It:
My mantel is yucky and ugly so I decided not to decorate it for summer. Instead I mantelized the top of my little china cabinet. It's enough mantel for me!  I just threw up some shells in a bowl, some candlesticks, and a message in a bottle. My favorite part is the book of essays called Gifts of the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh.





Here are some beautiful mantels from around the blogiverse!


















Cheers!
Jenny

  2. Jenny, I stopped by because your blog name is so cute, and lo and behold, there's my very own mantle. ;-)

    I could hit it off with a gal who calls herself sane(ish). Love it!

  3. Your "matelization" looks really nice. The color gives a cool and refreshing feel. The message in the bottle was a neat touch.
