On Day 16 of the Merriment Chain co-hostessed by Miss Misi
and Miss Robyn, I'm finishing up our fireplace mantel (running behinder than ever this year!)
No wonderful colonial mantelscape here, I'm afraid....(one of these days I'll get "there.") Just a few things I love.
This guy is one of my all time favorites....
Made by the talented Eve from Lee Hill Primitives.
Old bulbs.
(Maybe it's a crow's predilection for all things shiny and bright that makes that Colonial simplicity so elusive???)
And a little bit of whimsy....
Just because.
Off to find some stockings that need hanging!
Be ye merry!

Delightful ms. cranky!!! I love the jars!!! I so want to do simple, but I just can't... so many things would remain hiden, and how do I choose? Did the lights work? OLM
I really like your mantle, colonial or not. It is different and I like different. It looks wonderful.
BTW are the lights still in the mailbox?
Love the Santas too---and I recognize some of those pretty vintage ornies as ones mom and dad had!! You have to let us know....light strings...in the house or in the mailbox!?!? We need to know!! :) Jan

EVERYONE is wondering about the lights, including me...no update? How ruuuudddeeee. (in my best Stephanie Tanner from Full House voice) LOL I need to go to bed, I am punchy. Anyway I love your mantle!

Great ole' Santa...and the little lantern is so wonderful! I'm with you, Miss Cranky, gotta have a little glitz at Christmas!
Lights? In or out?
Robyn
Your Santa's are to die for. They are so neat. I see you hang things with push pin. My absolute favorites!!! I have push pins all over my house and in places people shouldn't be looking. I love the way they sound when they are all together and you shake the box. Anyway, now you know I am crazy. Your bulbs are very pretty in the glass containers. -Steph-
So wishin I had a mantel to display things on. Your mantel is beautiful.
Have a wonderful evening~Becky
