~~~A Winter Mantle~~~

I have never really done "winter decor" after the holidays. I usually just put back the everyday things. However I have been INSPIRED by several bloggers to create somne winter vignettes here and there. So, I showed you the winter vignette on the coffe table here: http://designsbypinky.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-winter-vignette-for-coffee-table.html Now I will share the mantle. It was fun putting it together! I had everything so this cost me nothing! I love this little Hummel piece. I forget what it is called, Riding into something, maybe Christmas? But since he is on a sled I decided it was a wintery piece.

 I had this tree, mounted on a piece of wood and lightly sprayed it with faux snow.

 This pinecone tree is sitting on a little stand so I placed some snowflakes in front of it.

 This is the right side of the mantle.

 On the left is this cute little owl made from pine cones!

 I made this arrangement before I started putting the mantle together. I knew I wanted something with height on each end of the mantle. The vase usually sits on my dresser but I think the color and design are perfect here. I filled it with snowy greens, snowy pinecones, snowy owls and some snowflakes:)

 I LOVE these snowy owls. Shirley, from Housepitality Designs has a whole tree full and I fell in love with them when I sawe hers! The pinecone owl is sitting on a little pedestal and I added a twig ball to bring that color and texture here.

 This snowflake candle was a gift a few years ago, along with the beaded candle ring.

 They are sitting on a little pedestal too, along with some greens and pinecones.

 I don't haver a winter scene piece of artwork for here so that was another reason I chose the vase that I did.

 Aren't they just the cutest?

 Here it is at night with the overhead lights on.

 I decided to add a few antlers too, to make it a little more "woodsy".

 

Thanks so much for your visit. Hope you are staying warm!!! It is bitterly cold all over, I know, very hard to get just from the car into the grocery store:)
