The fabulous Barb of Grits and Glamour is hosting an Egg-xellent Spring Mantlescape Party, and of course I want to play. I don’t have a mantle, but I do have a shelf that I play with, so this is going to be my mantle for today.
I also want to thank her for my new header design. She is so talented and is offering a free header as a giveaway. She is also accepting orders for custom designs. You will love working with her, she is so talented and has such a fabulous design sense, and her rates are very reasonable. I love my new header.
This wall is in my breakfast area and I have it filled to the brim with the shelf, plates and my wonderful painting of Thanksgiving with the Old man praying.
I found this shelf at a consignment store many years ago and it is quite massive. It measures a little over 6 ft. long and is 18″ high. I have always loved the carving, moldings and hooks. It is a fun piece to decorate and play with.
I tied the shelf in with the plates on the wall by also placing one on the shelf. A white duck tureen, rooster and bee skeep are on this end of the shelf.
Fruite, artichoke and cow plate add a little color
And of course you have to have a colorful rooster.
Great shelf for this wall and so fun to play with.
Ok, you really need to go by and see all the fabulous Mantels at
Barb’s Egg-xellent Spring Mantlescape Party. I can’t wait to see them all.
As a reminder, PLEASE TURN OFF WORD VERIFICATION. It really isn’t necessary and it is so hard to comment with the squiggly words that are almost impossible to read. Be kind to other bloggers and turn it off.
