Remember in this post I told you I wasn’t real happy with the way my spring mantel came out? Well, I’ve been tweaking…and tweaking…and tweaking, and this is what it looks like today. I kept seeing “spring mantels” pop up on my favorite blogs, so I decided to make a few changes to mine.
As always, simplicity is key. Curly willow in my Anthro knock-off vases, a couple of white pitchers, an ironstone bowl filled with moss, and a new Spring printable in a PB frame.
I saw this quote last year on The Lettered Cottage and saved it. I had forgotten about it until I saw it on another blog today (sorry I can’t remember which one). Both were on chalkboards, but without a chalkboard in sight, what’s a girl to do? Word Art!
If you’d like to have it, just click to enlarge, right click and save. Size is 8″ x 10″.

So, how did I do?

Yup, I’m much happier with the after! Now if I could just get that fireplace painted…

Your springtime printable popped up on a search today–I love it! Only 9 short years after you posted it, still lovely and worth the wait! And you’ve probably tweaked your mantel since the “after” post above, but it’s very nice, too!
Thank you Pam.
This is just lovely! I saved it for my buffet! Love the vases too! Bonnie 🙂
I love the printable you have offered. I am working it into my spring mantle too. Yours looks great. I am still working on mine.

That is a lovely message

It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!
Hi, I’m visiting from Bowl Full of Lemons. I love the new look and wish I had a mantel. I saved the printable and plan to use it on a shelf. I’ll link back when I do.
Love your new “Spring” look! It has been nice having Spring like weather, although I hear the cold stuff is coming back tomorrow ;0)
Take care,
Sue
