Winter Wonderland: Christmas Mantel 2015
November 30, 2015
When I decorate a holiday mantel, I love to find one larger anchor piece to build my mantel vignette around. This year it was this old weathered window frame with attached sill. I plunked it right smack dab in the center of the mantel. I purchased the "Winter Wonderland" sign a couple weeks ago from my Junkin' Friend Jodi. I proceeded to transform my white mantel into a rustic winter wonderland with an old rusty lantern, miniature galvanized pails with flameless candles, country Santa, winter tree and greenery, antique children's skis, and old thermoses. I added a larger candle ring as a wreath on my "window" with a snippet of buffalo checked ribbon tied on. I use flameless candles on my mantel with timers. Safer and no hassle. More greenery, an old scale, cutting board, plaid lunch box, and an enamelware pot with another candle sit on the right side of the window. This is my great grandfather, Thron. A Norwegian
