Fresh, Flowery Mantel

See? I told you I'd come back for Mantel Monday. My little brother and sister-in-law are visiting from Italy and my two older sisters are also here at my parents with their kids. SO...we have a full, loud house. And, I gotta say, this mantel just barely got 'scaped! 

My parents' house backs up to a pecan orchard and they've planted a beautiful garden all around their property, so of course, my mom's mantel had to incorporate some of her pretty flowers.

To create the floral arrangement, I took a stroll through the gardens and snipped what I wanted and placed those in a large, blue glass vase. Which just so happens to match my mom's collection of antique, blue mason jars. Think my mom would notice if I took her vase and jars home with me?? 

Mirror, old window, flowers, jars...and, old metal thingamajig. Yep, I think that just about covers it.

Now, back to the loud, family fun!
