Mixed Metal Mantel Monday (how's that for a title?)

Ahhh...my computer problems are behind me. I'm (almost) certain of it. I'm typing this ordinary Mantel Monday post on a shiny new laptop. The Apple guy told me it was a Ferrari compared to my old MacBook Pro. But, he was trying to sell me a computer. So, it might just be a Buick. Either way, I'm happy. 

Let's shelf the new computer talk for a minute and talk about this mantel. The green flowers from last week are still kicking (well, at least they were when I photographed this mantel on Saturday. I'll be honest, they're not looking so perky today), so I decided to recycle them this week.

I mixed in some tarnished silver, shiny bronze and old books (my go-to for adding height) and called this mantel done.

Yes, my silver needs polishing. No, I'm not going to polish it. Not this week. Maybe not next week. The week after that? We'll see.

My silver tray-turned-chalkboard says: Imagination is greater than detail. That Einstein fella is pretty smart.

Did I mention I got a new computer??
