Vim espreitar as novidades e adorei a decoração da lareira.
Por aqui o nosso clima é muito ameno e as nossas casas não tem lareira, ou se a tem será mais como decoração.
As ideias que mostra são de um grande bom gosto!
Vou daqui com a alma cheia !
What lovely mantels you have there Celeste!
I know the mantel/mantle blog post you are talking about, I think of it every time I look at a mantel now, as I used to spell it mantle. Which is wrong. lol!
Celestina, I just love your blog....you are so talented.
Thanks for leaving me a message and for your prayers. I truly appreciate them.
Wow, what a wonderful lesson on Mantels. I was intrigued with all the wonderful ideas you have on decorating a Mantle. I wish you could come over to my house and help as I have the oddest mantle ever...let's just call it a mantelle...LOL!!!
