Mantel Change Up

I have been very slow to do anything with my mantel this winter.  It looked like this through January.

A lot of it was leftover from my Christmas decor, pictured here.

But, I am getting 'cottage fever' and needed to change things up.  So, I brought this large cottage print out to the living room from my dining room and placed it here.   I really like it in this spot.

I placed a cloche on some tattered old books and some feather picks in an urn.  It seems unless it is a holiday, less is more on the mantel.

The candles smell so good and warm us on the cold winter days.  Speaking of the weather, thank you so much for all the warm wishes about taking care in the winter storm!!!  You blogging buddies are some of the most wonderful people!  I am humbled daily by your generous spirits!  Again, thank you!:)
