Simple Spring Mantel

My mantel needed some updating since Easter is now over. I decided to go really simple and have lots of color. I really Love it!

My new obsession is banners. :) I went through some of my fabric scraps and picked out some favorites. Then I cut them all the same size and sewed them together. Super easy! A great way to add color and patterns.

I also used some of my husbands vintage books. The Star Raker and Duden. :) I added a blue birdhouse I found while thrifting. 

This canvas has been sitting empty since Valentines. My Mom printed off the Home sign for me. I decided to just tape it on top of the canvas. I love how the blue ties in with the canvas. 

I kept my book decor up as well. I also put up my metal bird I got a few years ago. 

Theres my fun, colorful and super simple mantle. It makes me smile :)

Just another quick announcement. Have you heard of the Snap Conference going on this weekend? They are also having a Queen Bee Market at Thanksgiving Point in Utah. My husband is one of the vendors. :) There are some amazing vendors and the best part is it's FREE to the public. If your in Utah make sure to stop by and say "Hi." Here's the link to all the vendors that will be there and here's a link to my husbands shop, Sweet Old Stuff. 

Spring Flower Wreath

I decided to spruce up the wreath on my front door. It had some orange thingy on it with berries. It was starting to fade so I gave it a spring flower makeover. :) 

I love how it turned out!

 The best part is that most of these flowers I had already made. They were just laying around waiting for the perfect project.

It makes me smile. Except I decided it was too pretty to be on the front door. So I moved it inside and replaced it with something else. :) I'll share it with you tomorrow.

Here are the links to the different flowers I made, in case you want to make some too. Here, here and here.

Springtime Art

I decided to make some more springtime decorations. I got out my handy Silhouette and used the free download for the week.

I thought it needed a bit more so I spelled out Springtime. I really love how it turned out and I didn't have to cut out anything. Which is great because if you know me well you know I can't cut. :) I would get docked points in Interior Design school for not having straight lines on my projects.

Here's to hoping for warmer weather soon.
