three mantles !

Not content with decorating the lounge for christmas - I thought I would do a couple of extra options !
Other bloggers style has inspired me.

Firstly, my traditional, mostly red mantle.

Or - how about a 'nearly white' mantle

For the 'almost white' mantle I used a window box I had, dried twigs from the beach, decorations and lights from my collection and other white twigs that I have had for years. I only bought the moss  which was £1 and actually for another project, and a can of white spray £5 - but there is lots of this left to use on other things.

So - there is one final mantle to see. I will call it 'a little bit of bling'.

I had the votives, and silver twigs and champagne glasses. The other items were presents apart from the mercury glass balls that I bought recently - the only glass baubles I own !

I love all the mantles, but I can only keep one displayed here. 

So which do you prefer, and which one do you think I left for christmas ???
