Winter White Mantel

I hope you are having a fantabulous week! We’ve been a little topsy-turvy around here, with some family members having the flu (it’s legit… the real H1N1). So I have had our grandson 24/7 for the past couple of days. Mainly for his protection, but to let his momma get better, too.

When doing the mantel for winter, I really wanted to keep using the cool window I found for our Christmas mantel. So I settled on a winter white mantel vignette!

And I wanted to do a {mostly} all-white display, centered around a white pitcher that belonged to my mother. To me, the lines of this pitcher are perfect… proportionally very pleasing! But I like it of course, for it’s sentimental value.

Also, I’ve incorporated the {free} printable I designed a few days ago… ‘Hurry Spring’! I’m one of those who fights the winter ‘doldrums’ and I always feel so much better when the days get longer and the birds start to sing!!

To download and print, simply click on the photo below. My watermark will not appear on your copy!

Once again, I used a large initial… I love fonts and typefaces, so I always welcome the chance to include a letter somewhere! And don’t you love the two iron pieces on either side of the window? I made sure to offset them, and I love the ‘snowflake’ feel they give!

I hope you like our winter mantel! What pieces have you used in vignettes that hold special meaning for you?
