I've been slowly switching my mantel over from it's Valentine's incarnation to a more spring-like arrangement. I really liked having all the pink up in our house. I don't often decorate with pink, but an overhaul was long overdue. Still I had to hold onto a bit of pink. An orchid was just the ticket.
I love these orchids. They're so easy to care for with just the addition of a couple of ice cubes each week.
I hung the Framed Easter Egg Roll Photos over the mantel.
I used these nifty brick clips to hang it.
Underneath the pics, I placed a cloche with some moss, a shredded paper nest, and some Robin's Eggs inside.
I made a couple of birds with scrapbook paper and paper clips just like my Valentine's Love Birds. I placed one on a rock candle holder for some height.
And here's my Spring/Easter mantel all finished.
Thanks for popping in and decorating with me. I'm linking this up to Between Naps on the Porch's Metamorphosis Monday, Just a Girl's Show and Share Day, and Decor to Adore's Spring Linky Party.
Very sweet and ready for Spring.
