Is the question of whether or not to use artificial flowers something you struggle with?
Well…..I try to use fresh flowers most of the time…..but sometimes I end up breaking down….as you will see with the Mantle Makeover below.
When I write a post….the librarian in me ends up doing a little research….which usually results in me finding other posts on my subject…..usually better written and illustrated!
Case in point this post titled Stop the Ugly! a funny post about silk flowers worth a read!
Remember the transitional mantle that I did after taking down the Holiday Decorations?
It was starting to look a little too wintery now that March has arrived!
The greenery was pretty crispy, even though it lasted 2 whole months!
It was time to put away the pinecones!
Just a few changes….and now the mantle looks like this!
Yup….I broke down and used SOME FAKES!
These Forsythia branches don’t look so bad…..especially with the little pots of real grass!
I took the grapevine wreath apart and dug through my stash of artificial flowers to add some touches of Spring!
Do you see the sunshine on the grass…..that is what really makes me happy….it means that the sun is FINALLY moving far enough to the north to shine into our north facing family room!
