Rustic and Wild

Rustic and Wild

I really don’t know what to call this hodge podge of a mantel! The first thing that popped in my head was rustic and wild.

The other day when I was making my rustic gather here sign with napkins and mod podge, I did mention that I would probably use it for the mantel. I think I can carry the sign right into Spring and Summer. I also mentioned that day that I had no intentions of doing much Valentine’s decorations. Well, I changed my mind and literally dragged out the bin and threw a mantel together real quick. For JACK of course:) Now watch him not even notice HA!

I used a wild flower swag, some Valentine vintage post cards, and a little splash of red here and there.

The pretty pink mesh wreath that I made a few years ago. Looks definitely a little wild and beat up. It was smashed inside my closet. Y’all, I really need to start calling in the hoarders to haul out some of this stuff. I am busting at the seams with crafts, wreaths, and diy pillows.

Yes, that wreath is in really bad shape now that I take a good look at it. I guess it adds to wild theme.

The things we do for LOVE!!~

This just might be the last year of the Valentine mantel in our home. Sad, but I like I said I have always enjoyed doing it more for the family then even for myself.
