My Spring Mantle

I love decorating for spring. So many possibilities.... Lots of bright colors, flowers, anything happy.... so i was pretty pumped to use all of those things for my spring mantle. 

I wanted to use as much fabric as possible.

SO I used embroidery hoops, and covered glasses with fabric for vases filled with the fabric flowers I made last year. {More on the vases later}

I also covered a small drinking glass in the polka dot fabric trimmed with ribbon to make a little votive. 

Once again, I used the yarn S. For our last name AND for spring.  

For the tabletop, I used little things from around the house. 

I think I've used this frame for printables for every season. 

I found this spring one here. I like that it's nice & simple. To contrast it, I used this springy scrapbooking paper to matte it. 

And to go along with it, I used my favorite little bird & nest from America. 

 I used the yarn wrapped bottle I made in the fall with a silk daisy from IKEA in it, and filled this vase with my random knick-knack orbs that I made last year. 

It's a hodgepodge of stuff, but I like it. 

Quite colorful and happy. 

{the pictures are so grainy.... our apartment is long & skinny, and only has windows on 2 ends & this is smack dab in the middle with terrible lighting. still trying to figure out the best way to take them without a flash, so either the ISO is really high (grainy) or the shutter speed is too low (blurry). i'll figure it out sooner or later.}

Joyfully Springy,
