January has come and gone, and right after Christmas i take everything down from the mantle except the greenery, and maybe a few pine cones. I started playing around the other day, and came up with this cute little HEART that i made from a scrap of ivory colored fabric and a piece of ribbon and jute.
I softened the greenery with some ivory tulle and left my soft white lights from Christmas in place as well. The old window was a gift from my son-in-law that i just propped up there. I have seen around blogland where someone sprayed the back side of the glass of a old window with this mirrored spray paint. I never knew they made that stuff, may have to check into it more. It suppose to resemble an old mirror like image sorta muted from what i read. That might look better than looking at the brick wall behind it.
I tied a bunch of dried hydrangea to the top of the old window, and a peace dove hung off to the side. I have been so busy with my youngest playing soccer and babysitting the grandbaby i had to keep it simple and use what i have around the house.
This is also a picture of my HEART..............

Awww...what a cutie pie little Jessie is! I can see where she would be your Heart! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the use of the old window as a decorative piece and your little fabric heart turned out darling! I'll bet the mirror spray would be a cool look, you'll have to do an update!
Hi. Found my way over here through the new Linky thing. Don't know that I like it yet but...
ReplyDeleteOnce here I saw your mantle and knew I would have to follow along. I have an old window like yours on my mantle too. Mine has 6 square panes and a little more white paint on it but the look is the same. Love it. Ooooh and right beside where I am typing now my mouth is watering from the plums hanging on the tree on your sidebar.
Yes, I am going to like it here.
