A Spring Mantel

The beautiful weather this past weekend was just the motivation I needed to finally decorate my mantle.  I mostly used things from around the house.
 
I found the old aluminum milk can at an antique store when I lived in Tennessee.  I picked up the birdhouse at a primitive home decor shop last week for $7.  The framed tweed fabric was also purchased from an antique flea market in Tennessee- it actually has a primitive tea stained sheep applique on the front- I just turned it around to the backside.
 

The framed picture is a watercolor that my great-uncle painted over 25 years ago.  It is a picture of a corner of one of three porches of my grandparents farmhouse just as it was on some ramdom day of their busy farm lives.  I miss that porch...I miss the farm...I miss my grandparents...
 
I've had the willow balls forever {I bought them from Pier 1 over 15 years ago!}  The mini wreath and bird's nests were purchased last year from the Flower and Craft Warehouse in Lancaster County- I LOVE that place and I've been itching to go!


The white shelving is from Ikea and is the start of my living room redo. I have a few pieces of furniture that I plan to paint with some chalk paint- if I can decide on a color!

My sweet Hannah has been wishing for spring for about a month now.  We're all looking forward to the warm, sunny weather!
