Spring Mantel

Such a lovely day today – spring is really here!! I had a little time to change things around a little to suit the weather (I’ve been loving all the fall decorating I’ve been seeing this week).  Actually, I love fall.  I love spring too but I hate summer so much here in Australia (not bad at the beach house but so stressful here on the farm!) I think this is why I love fall. I picked a bunch of spring blooms when I was over at our other farm this morning and well, you know how it goes….one thing leads to another and suddenly things are changing around.





I had this lamp in my sunroom and hadn’t used it in a while so thought it would be nice on my mantle (actually it’s my TV cabinet but I’m sure no-one minds!!). I’ve been going to paint it for ages so of course out came the paint. As usual I was doing it in a hurry and hadn’t stirred the paint properly and all I got was a light wash and I loved it!!! Sometimes things are  meant to be.
