Spring Mantel

Just wanted to take a minute and share a few shots of my Spring Mantel...
I have to admit that I have trouble decorating my mantel - I usually leave up certain things
and try to add holiday decorations amongst the others but somehow I never seem quite pleased
with the whole set up...anyway, here it is...
I love old stainless steel pieces - cups, trays goblets and candle sticks
and I love having those pieces out...oh and have been trying to start a small collection
of apothecary jars - but have trouble filling and re-filling them...

those blue birds and white rabbit I got in the target dollar spot for 2.50 (doh!)
and the tree too...I love it and love the simplicity of the animals...

and then my banners...I often look at my mantel and other household
decorations and think - It looks so childish...so kidd-ish then my hubby reminds me
that it's KID FRIENDLY and what should I expect with a house full of kids...
I guess so long as my kids appreciate the decorations and is something they can remember
then I am doing something right....

anywhoo...
our mantel looking
Hows your mantel & spring decor going?

Here's hoping you have a great week preparing for Easter Sunday

your mantel has 10 times the decorations that I could even imagine getting up...I'm such a bad MOMMY! Yours look so gorgeous and I'm sure the kiddos love it. I really need to be better about that type of stuff and decorate, not like I can't do it.
