Summer Mantle

I am so behind on my posting that I am just getting around to

showing you my Summer mantle! You may remember when

I did a post about visiting the charming town of Smithfield, Va.?

I found this great architectural piece at one of the many antique

shops in town. It was love at first sight! I knew the piece was

just what I needed for over the mantel. It was in excellent

condition, just really dirty. I spent hours cleaning all the little

crevices with Q-tips.

Seashells were added to the mantle, including my new blue coral. One of my
hand dyed sea fans was also added to the vignette

I'll be partying at:
