EGGceptional Mantle

The mantle is dressed for the Easter season. I enjoy using the two vintage trophy cups on each side of the mantle, so I created a small arrangement using salal leaves (my favorite aka lemon leaf) and some of the speckled, gilded eggs that I like to use in bowls and containers around the house.

A vintage-looking bunny, trophy cups filled with eggs, and my fave Dyptique Baies candle finish the look.

This year I also added an Easter banner as well as the EGGceptional ribbon I shared yesterday.

The mantle is ready for a visit from Peter Cottontail or the Easter Bunny.
"Run along Jack, here comes the Easter bunny." Who can name the movie of this quote?

Join me Thursday for an Easter Tabletop Tour.

My Easter Mantle, y'all!

At the Base of the Stairs

I love the staircase in my home. I recently changed the look at the base of the staircase.

I moved one of the Southern bird oils to the wall and a small table to the base. On the table I placed my collection of vintage trophy cups, some filled with many of the natural curiosities that I really love.

My first day of school with the students was fine though as usual my feet are "killing" me. I also took an hour nap in my leather chair when I came home. School Daze for sure! Thanks to all of you for your complimentary comments on yesterday's blog, The Periodic Table Classroom Theme.

Base of Stairs, y'all!
