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 !

    Love it! I love how you used the rusty frame and the cloches to accent the shells and driftwood. So beautiful.

    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

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

    I'm just a little bit jealous of your easy access to driftwood. This mantle collection is gorgeous.
