I do believe I could declare my mantel to be organic, homemade & homegrown.
It’s simple, very little fuss & was extremely easy to pull together. But let me just say, it has my name & love of color written all over it.
I ordered the wool felt balls from here. Strung them together, grabbed some trimmings from our tree & yard & I’m calling it d.o.n.e. Or at least my schedule right now is calling it done. I’ve also decided to not put up the Christmas stockings…yet. It’s just too tempting for 2 certain members of the family. And I get tired of saying “no” all the live long day.
“Buck” just so everybody knows is made out of teak wood. I got him last year at a salvage yard, broken. My husband & I put him back together & he has proudly hung in his spot ever since.

I loveth him.
