We are so blessed to have two mantles to get to decorate! But, I will tell you that our spring mantle was the summer mantle too. It takes a lot of time to change things out!
The vines are honeysuckle vines from the back yard. They last for a couple of weeks in water!
The vine pumpkins came from Target. I feel like I cheated with something "new", but they are so neat.
The three books on the left are Norwegian that have been translated to English. The next book is a Bible, maybe German? It has an incredibly beautiful font inside.
The bottle says "Old Ruxton Rye". I'm not sure it's particularly old. It came in a box of bottles I picked up and I just liked the color and shape.
This set of books may be the neatest I've ever picked up. They have marbled covers, but spines are in really poor shape.
I didn't care because I bought them for the textured pages...mmmm...so something...they make me happy. :)

Your mantels are beautiful! What great finds are the books and that fabulous clock. Love your daughters wire and bead garland in your earlier post.
ReplyDeleteYour mantles ARE wonderful. I covet those old books...all of them.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mantel and I love the old books. Do you think the ones with the "textured" pages were hand printed and bound?
