Our White Fireplace & Mantel's Last Hurrah!

 The need to start some packing and a wee bit of spring fever resulted in
Our Mantel's Last Hurrah!
 Yes, that's right...a long distant move is on our horizon. I don't know how this, tremendously painful, move will go. We will be leaving our very special home and cherished offspring behind to a temporary place to call home. What to sell...what to take and how to NOT say, "Goodbye"...please, give me strength to persevere!

Thankfully, I have my new camera to make sure that we will have the best pics, we possibly can, of our home and those we are leaving behind :(

Our fireplace was one of the many favorite features that stood out in our, formerly abandoned, house. The fireplace, once grey and charred from years of use, immediately got a fresh, white coat of fire retardant paint.
It is now our white beauty!


A mix of rustic collections with romantic pearls and lace are having their last show and will remain until we leave.

A favorite plaque takes center stage, with chippy shutters as a backdrop...

and other country favorites set off to the right...



A pearl collar necklace adds romance to a tiny white creamer filled with delicate baby's breath...

while vintage pearls and an old, ironstone pitcher command attention the left.

My new, little mirror (click the link to see more) and precious locket add a golden touch!


Vintage suitcases and a ribbon wrapped book flank the hearth, on the left, below....

a shabby, white basket holds heirloom lace, rustic strings and grandma's, very old pin....

and lace hearts on a pearl strand hangs off to the right.





Baby's breath in my little, copper, watering can and the loves of my life sit beside.

Always & Forever my babies they'll be!!!!

My posting will be slowing down, now...there's just so-o-o much that I have to do. I'll keep you posted on our progress and share some little projects, here and there, when I can.

'til next time......


Love, Hugs and Kisses
