Mantel madness

Finally started to clear out the Christmas decorations and had fun creating a new mantel.

Pulled out the old black frame, realigned the hemp rope and clipped on some new photos. Framed some original first drawings by my son in this fake antique metal frame.

Added a dash of colour on one side and some dried cattails and lavender on the other. And words to live by,  balanced on a small hook and centered over mantel.
