Spring mantel {not eggsactly what I thought!}
Finally, I finished my Spring Mantel just in time for sweet Shannon's part of the Spring'tacular party. There is no way I would have let her down. This is about the 4th time I changed it up since I started my Spring Mantel.
I finally settled on this one.
What I realize is pastel colors just do not work in our family room.
I did buy some of the faux flowers from the dollar tree, and the pretty multi colored one from one of our local little shops here.
Along with the little birdie you see.
These candle eggs I have had for years now. My MIL in Florida bought those for me, and they look like porcelain eggs. I have never lit them.
Eggs seemed to be the theme.
Not eggsactly what I wanted...
Played in picnik, we don't have very long before it is bye bye...
Used my brass candle sticks to place the egg candles on..used some twine, an egg banner and found some cute eggs to hang from the twine.
And there you have my NOT eggsactly what I was looking for Spring Mantel.
Hope on over to Shannon's and link up your Spring mantels!~ Have a great night.

DEbbie, it is stunning. I love your eggs on the candlesticks. Gorgeous. Hugs, Marty
Your Spring mantel is really pretty! I love the egg garland. I've changed my Spring mantel a few times already,as well!
looks beautiful Debbie, love the look.
Debbie, your mantel is very striking. I like that it's unique to fit your room. Twiggy garland is a favorite of mine any season.

That's cute and pastels don't work here either.
Looks great, Debbie. I agree that pastels are just not your thing. I love those eggs your mil gave you. They are beautiful and I wouldn't light them either. You did an EGGstraordinary job here. xo Diana
I think you have to go with the colors that work best in your home. These are perfect and we get the lovely seasonal feeling! Fabulous as always! Hugs, Linda
Hi Debbie,
Very sweet looking mantel. I love those candle eggs.

I like your little egg garland strung across the mantel. I find that when you can't work with a certain color, then just go neutral using the same ideas. Then you're safe and don't feel like it's so out of place in your room. I think that's why there are so many different color schemes for Christmas decor now.
It looks great Debbie!!! I love the egg garland swagged over the mantel. I have those same egg candles and I've never lit them either.
Still very cute mantel! Your eggs on the candlesticks are adorable! Thanks for sharing!!
Your mantel looks pretty, Debbie! Perfectly Spring-like! The candle eggs are great.
Don't think pastels work on mine either. I'm not really sure what does work on mine. I have a St. Patricks thing going on right now and I wanted to change it for the mantel party, but looks like I won't be home to do that. So.... better the way it is than not at all.

Love the floral arrangement. The eggs on the candlesticks look great.
Hi Debbie Dear! I just love your mantel and it's as cute as a bunny's ear! :) That egg garland is so cute.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Debbie it's lovely! Those egg candles look like art. So pretty. The egg garland is great too and really suits your mantel. I love the flowers though... they say SPRING to me =)
Looks great, Debbie. It has your personality all over it, eggsactly.
Debbie...you always have some really unique things. I love it all and the egg candles on top of candle holders are just sweetest!
Your mantel looks great! Love those eggs, they don't look like candles at all, very cool!
happy spring,
Debbie
I think it is beautiful Debbie, and I thought for sure the eggs were some expensive china or porcelain. You sure fooled me. I can't get away with pastels in my home either. Lovely mantel:)
Looks wonderful! Love all the pics ~

P.S. Don't know if I mentioned it, I worked on my blog re: emails again...seems to be working. Who knows?
I love your mantel...
Pastel colors don't work for my rooms, either...:)
Are ya' kidding ... it's *eggzactly* perfect! Love the eggs and how you perched them ... and the garland is awesome (especially with the grapevine mixed in, too)! Great job, friend!
Debbie, it looks so pretty! I love the candle eggs! And the garland is beautiful!
I love the eggs on the candle sticks...such a great idea!
Over from Fox hollow too..:P
Loved your copy cat table too...I wanna come hang out in your yard with the bird..:)
Have a beautiful day!

What a cute spring mantle! I love those candle eggs, so pretty. I wouldn't want to burn them either.
Have a great week.
New to me that I love is the egg candles and the egg banner, Debbie! Usually you see the egg wreaths but I haven't seen a garland/banner before. Love the tall bits in the vase.
I'm not much on pastels either, but your mantel turned out great.
Love your eggs.
Your mantel is so pretty! I love how you're always changing things up. Love the egg garland! Thanks for sharing.
Love the spring mantel! Pastels don't work in my house either...
Love your mantel, Debbie. I think everything you touch turns to `pretty`!
I don`t mind pastels.

I really like the multi colored (not sure what to call them) sticks(?) in the vase. Unique.
Debbie, I think your mantel is gorgeous! I love the egg theme! The flowers add such a colorful touch! The egg garland is great too! It's so bright and fresh!
Hi Debbie,
Pretty Spring mantel!
Love the flower arrangement...
The garland is so sweet too!
All the Best,
Christine
I just love your mantel. I especially love the candle eggs. I wouldn't light them either.
It's fun and festive, pastels and all! Love your eggs on candlesticks!
Looks nice! I have mine decorated with St. Patty's so I need to get on it this weekend! Have a wonderful day!
Looks really good, The eggs on the candlesticks were great.
It's EGGstordinary:):) I really like how you did it and love the egg candles. They are SO pretty. I don't do a Spring mantle for the same reason, pastels look AWFUL in my living room! All my Eater decor goes in my kitchen and dining room:):) XO, Pinky
Aww! I'm sorry it's not what you were hoping for but I think it looks egg-cellent! LOL! I agree completely about your candle eggs. They certainly do look like porcelain. I would never have guessed they were candles if you hadn't said so. Your egg garland is adorable too! Very cute!
I love it! All the eggs are awesome!

Love it, Debbie. I love eggs so really drawn to this. Your photo effects are fabulous!..Christine
I think it is egg-xactly perfect!....
Beautiful Spring mantel Debbie!
Hi Debbie, I'm you're neighbor at Kim's party...LOL!
It's just so fun & totally fits your personality. I love it!
CAS
Thank you for sharing. It's gorgeous.
I think it's so cool that you have kept those egg candles without lighting them. They are pretty perfect on the candlesticks too. Great job as always!
Beautiful!
...love it all :)
Greetings from Australia♥
Debbie, I love your mantel...you always do a great job on everything you do! What in the world are we going to do when Picnik is gone??? I had only discovered it less than a month before they made the awful announcement. Any word on a similar type program???
Sharon
Well it may not be what you imagined but it is lovely! The details are fabulous!
