a beach junk mantle



So, I needed to change up the mantle - little Easter chicks couldn't stay there forever.



I put out the frame with the rusty mesh and just layered up driftwood, shells, dried seaweed, and odd finds.




I used a couple of little cloches - I have loads of this seaweed, it's all over the beach.







Job done !

  3. I'm glad someone else still hadn't cleared away the Easter stuff! I'll be stealing your idea of shells under the cloche. ~ Maureen

  4. I like your cloches better than my little squatty cheese domes.
