The last time I posted my mantel was for the Christmas Holidays.
and leaving everything red for Valentines.
Including the pine cone tree.
Finally I decided it needed something to carry the family living room through
Spring into Summer.
Imagine that?!
The wicker tray - $1.91
Added the blue tin bird from Dollar General - $6
I had the glass vase, just dressed it in a tad of burlap with ribbon and plopped in some Dollar Tree flowers.
Used the antique bread bowl passed on from my Mom to me.
Loving birds right now and couldn't resist the recent purchase of this chubby cutie at my Dollar Tree.
The frame, I made in December.
The little pedestal bird came from Real Deals last year.
Shopped the house and moved two candles to the other end,
along with a bird found on clearance in December.
Added a Dollar Tree vine to the shutters.
The large bird cage and birds were yard sale finds last year.
I love the new look!
Final tweaking.
Found this birdhouse at TJMaxx clearance, of course! ;-)
$7.50 and too cute to pass up.
This is the mantel that greeted family and friends yesterday for Easter.
Bonus: The twig birdhouse 'hides' the ugly switch on my fireplace!
We hosted lunch at 1pm.
My Love cooked up most of the meal!
Good food and great company.
I'll share the easy dessert I made in an upcoming post.
For the recipe go HERE.
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

Those birds speak of spring. What a special mantle.
ReplyDeleteI love the bird theme you have going on, Sherri! The blue tin bird is SO cute. You got so many things at my favorite discount places. I need to pay them a call!!! Neat that everything was centered around your tray. I love it!

love the birds and the cute little birdhouse made of twigs, so springy!
ReplyDeleteNothing says "spring" like sweet little birdies/birdhouses etc. Very pretty display.
ReplyDeleteI'm also very fond of your wooden dough bowl. I'm looking for one to call my own. :)
I love your little birdie theme..so pretty for a spring mantel vignette! Great job!

My favorite is the bird against the brown background. Very nice! Thanks for stopping by my blog. What a nice blog you have! I'll be back - I'm a new follower :)
ReplyDeleteI love your mantel now! The bird is just darling, I would love for you to link up at my Bring In The Spring Party- it starts tonight!
ReplyDeleteLooks so fresh and pretty. I love how the blue bird stands out!
ReplyDeleteMy mantel definitely needs some work.
I have an odd question about your beautiful header picture. We were driving back from my Mom's house a few days ago. (She lives in a rural area) My daughter asked why all the barns were painted red. I realized that I had no idea, but just took it for granted that red was the color for barns. Do you know why they're usually red?
That tin blue bird is the coolest thing!
ReplyDeleteHey Sherri! You know I've been a fan of your mantle for a long time. I always enjoy seeing how you switch it up for the seasons and you never disappoint!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Kim
Love the layering and the little birds.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful and I may be taking a trip to the dollar general. The best part though is the frame that you made it is awesome!!!!
ReplyDelete:) Michelle
I am so glad you came by to link up your mantel! Did I tell you that I love the bird? So cute! I would love for you to come back again for the final party starting the 23rd!
