Cozy Winter Mantel

Most of my Christmas is neatly packed away, I did save a few things that I thought would work for with my Winter Decor

 

and borrowed a few things from around the house.. to create a warm cozy Mantel Display

A few things even came in from outside

I hesitated a little with using the red accent, thought it might be a little too Christmasy, but I liked it so it stayed, at least for now.



I just love all the Mason Jar, waterless snow globes all over pinterest, so I had to do a couple, just some Epsom salts and Dollar Tree, Bottle trees, with a snowflake in the back. I topped them off with a little glass votive candle (stole the small one from my bathroom, it had q-tips and cotton balls in it)

Just added a few rusty Treasures... and my little Snowman "Springy"

Springy is made from an old bed spring, an burnt out light bulb (his head) his scarff and hat are an old sweater I cut up and sprinkled with epson salt

Job 12:7

"But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;" (NIV)

Fall Blessings: Mantel Scape 2011

Numbers 6:24

"The LORD bless you and keep you;" (NIV)

 

 

 

The other day I posted my, Dryer Vent Pumpkins and a few other Fall Crafts from Last year, you can check out that post here: http://findingsecrettreasure.blogspot.com/2012/08/budget-friendly-super-friendly-fall.html

Here's how I used my Pumpkins, and "stuff"

Most of the treasures I used were either, Thrifted, Salvaged, or Found. I love creating a "picture" with very little or no money, it is so much more challenging than simply going out and buying...

With that said, I wouldn't mind taking on that challenge also, just walk into a store and buy what I like? I think I would enjoy that once in a while too...

I think a combination of the two would be perfect, oh well enough reflecting and dreaming, I'll just let you take a peek, and keep my words to a minimum.

I think I'll enjoy a little more Summer, before I start on this years Fall Decor
