Patriotic Mantel.....{and a sneak peek at my Outdoor Fantel}

My poor Mantel has been neglected.

I have done things I just haven't photographed it.

My Mom keeps asking why ??? .... {lol}

So I pulled some things I had on hand

And had myself a Red, White, and Turquoise collection.

I have been addicted to making paper lollies too.

I added some to my Coffee Filter Wreath

{I glued toothpicks to the backside of the lollies so they can be removed}

It's a fun, happy, and my ode to July 4th kind of Mantel.

Red Tin Mirror - Christmas Tree Shop (years ago)

Turquoise Metal Bike - Michael's

Round Scalloped Frame - Michael's

Assorted Scrapbook Papers - Hobby Lobby

Large Frame - Thrift Shop

I also have been working on the outside.

And I created my Outdoor version of a Mantel.

My Outdoor Fantel

{Paper + Hot Glue + Florida Humidity = Craft Fail}

Most of this stuff got moved inside

And now I need to re-think my outside decor.
