New Mantle

I just couldn't wait to show you what I've done with the beautiful mantle top I wrote about earlier.  It isn't wide enough to serve as a mantle on my fireplace so I am using it as a shelf and it's sitting on my existing mantle.   I love it when things turn out so perfectly.  No complicated installation for this project!

I decided to use it to display my collection of Susan Paley vases.  I've always wanted to have a place to put them all together.  I've written about these vases several times so if you're interested in their history, check my archives under Susan Paley.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend.  I spent the day with my high school girlfriend and we had a great visit!
