Valentines Mantel

Yep, I have been busy crafting again.  I finished up two projects on Saturday and was able to finish my dining room mantel!  Huzzah!

 

The first project was dressing up an antique bride's basket from my collection.  I filled it with some red garland, and silver and red pics.  A pair of sweet glittery pink birds sit in the midst of the nest, with banners proclaiming 'love nest'.  I thought it was perfect for Valentines.

 

I have had these mercury glass finials for years, but have never been able to find a spot for them.  I thought with some sweet graphics from the source of all sources, Graphics Fairy, they would make the perfect centerpiece for my mantel.  I adore the little Valentine Clowns, and they were simple to decoupage into place.

 

 

 

 

I bought this sweet shadow box/rolling ball game at Treasures last week from Two Pits of a Pear.  I love their stuff, and did you notice that he used the same little Valentine clown that I included on my Mercury glass?  I would like to think that means I have good taste, because I know that Brandon certainly does! 

Thanks for stopping by.
