{I never said this could be done well.}
I raided my MacKenzie-Childs collection for flower frogs and candlesticks. I placed Pier 1 red candles in the candlesticks, roses in one of the flower frogs, and then I added some mercury glass votives and tea lights.
I will add fresh holly and magnolia leaves closer to Christmas.
Here is my mantel from last year. The snow got on my very last nerve because I was constantly having to vacuum. You can read last year's post here.
I am joining My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia for a mantel linky party.
Until next time...
Blessings!

Your special pieces of MC are so sweet! Oh, how I wish I could start that collection! So lovely! Christie at Three Pixie Lane
ReplyDeleteIt looks very pretty, Ricki! You worked around the TV perfectly.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Ricki Jill,that is great McKenzie Childs collection.
ReplyDeleteThe flat screen didn't stand in your way Ricki Jill...love your mantle! So nice you can incorporate your beautiful pottery collection...very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog...I love the different tiles you have on your fireplace. That is so pretty! Happy Decorating!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the way! How could it not look terrific with you MC collection!
ReplyDeleteJob well done! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes, that is a quandary. My idea would be no flat screen, but Mister would never go along with that idea!
ReplyDeleteLove your happy list. I am going to have to join that party. Always makes me smile!
I just love the tiles on the fireplace itself!!! Love these glimpses into your home...well I love them, and am slightly green with envy at the same time!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you gotta work around these things, Ricki Jill! I think you did a great job, too! Love your snowballs! I almost had to deal with a TV over our fireplace, but my hubby decided not to go that route. Which was a "whew" for me because I already had a heck of a time trying to figure out our mantel!
ReplyDeleteIt is a hard job, but you did it beautifully.
