Ready for spring

I can't decide if Spring is here or not. The weather has been bizarre. On my way home from work on Monday there was rain, hail, and snow all on my 7 minute commute.


So I decided to do a spring mantle to trick myself into thinking it is spring even if we got snow this week. True to form, I didn't spend much money on this one and mostly used what I had already.


The book wreath-took foooooooooooooooooreeeevvvvvverrrrrrr but turned out cute and have had it up for a while I don't think I have it on the blog yet.

eggs- made them last year out of blown eggs after I saw some like it for sale for an outrageous price at pottery barn. Then I stacked them over brown scrapbook paper cut into little strips to look kinda like a nest. The cheese dish cover is a thrift store find last year.

The little birdies- the big purchase a buck a piece at the dollar store and I painted over them

The branches- in a vase I got for my birthday and found the branches in a parking lot near the hospital. I wish I had one of these trees in my yard. I figure the place wouldn't mind if I did some pruning free of charge.
