Mantel Party

Because I love a good party, I'm linking up to The Mantel Party over at Stories of A to Z


 

Now...understand that my Mantel is in a "transition" phase right now so I'll explain what is going on here...

I keep adding to it without really getting anywhere yet.  I found the mercury vases at Pottery Barn on sale and then ordered some boxwood balls with intentions of making a topiary, however I think that the balls are a little too large so I am waiting for the smaller ones that I ordered to arrive. In the meantime they just rest on the vases.  I decided to keep them in hopes of finding another home for them because I just adore boxwood anything!  I am also getting a little bored with our mirror and am always on the lookout for something a little lighter in color and maybe a different shape to take us through spring and summer. Since this little party happens every week I figure I can share it's evolution.

    I too love boxwood anything and those balls in the mercury glass are divine! I'm so glad you chose to link up. (BTW-if you're tired of your mirror I'll gladly take it off your hands. It's fabulous!)

    Your mantel looks pretty as is...but it will be fabulous "as it evolves". I love topiaries and hope to find some myself. Great job...and oh, I love that mirror!!

    I love it - simple but with some pizzazz from the turqoise vase. Can't wait to see more!
