What's on the Mantel? 

Hello!

My mantel is such a favourite part of my nest, it changes all the time as there's always something new I want to show of.

When Spring approached I decided my front room was very autumnal and i wanted a splash of colour. I had found this wonderful crocheted bunting pattern and really wanted to try it out so decided each season I would replace with new colour. This is still the Spring one, I'm letting it roll into Summer as so many projects, however I feel the colour is still vibrant and it makes me smile.
It was our 5yr anniversary last week so it's filled with some lovely cards and words from family. Mine is the lovely one of Sam on the end, it's a book with lovely wild flowers popping out.

As always I took the flowers from a recent wedding we attended, these were from the top table centre piece, I picked all the roses and gypsophilia out and have vases potted everywhere.

My orchid has a new shoot coming from it, when this one blooms the flowers are so white and big.

Our standard wedding shot is at the end, I think I may change this over to another one as think the one of us smooching on our day is my favourite at the moment.

The snaps on the wall our from some of our favourite moments at festivals, they sum up our first few years pretty perfectly.

The rocks hanging up are from a dear friend who gave me them as good luck. Supposedly stones from the beach with holes in are a sign of luck. I really like this thought, something special about the journey they have been on.

I plan to do a little update every few months to see what changes and what's new - or still there from the last write up,
