Mantel of the Month



Hello!  I'd like to start off by saying a big thank you to everyone who left my mom birthday wishes and kind comments on my last post, they were VERY much appreciated!  I think I must have the nicest readers in all of blogland...the generosity you all show with your kindness and support continues to amaze me, so thank you for always being so wonderful!!




I am Mantel of the Month for June over at Roberta's site Enchanted Treasures


Roberta mainly needed overall shots of my mantel for the feature, but you know how much I like to take up close shots, so I thought I would share some of the detail shots that I took here on my own blog...



...but to see the whole mantel that I pulled together, please go and visit Enchanted Treasures...you can also check out her archives for past features full of inspiration while you're there as well!








Blessings and wishes for a happy rest of your week!



Tracey

I love the green fern hanging over the window frame.

Before I go explore Enchanted Treasures, I want to let you know that my Jeanne d'Arc magazine arrived. It's just beautiful. And I love the ribbon with which you tied it, and the sheet of French text. All so lovely. Thank you.

I haven't been on the computer much this week... just had a chance to catch up on your last couple of posts...
Your mom is a wonderful decorator in her own right, and I can see where you get your influence from her. Her guest bedroom is beautiful! She should have a magazine feature of her own! And happy belated B-day to your mom!! :)
Your mantel display is absolutely gorgeous, Tracey!! I LOVE everything about it! I just can't wait to see your feature in JDL magazine... I know it will be so inspirational!!!
Hope you have a happy rest of your week, too! :)
hugs,
Jo

Yes, although I love the photo of your mantel to put things in perspective, I much prefer the close-ups!
Aren't lilacs divine? I miss them so much in Florida.
