Beautiful Spring Inspired Mantle by 33 Shades of Green

.
As always, thank you Cassity for having back to guest post again! You will find me at my blog, 33 Shades of Green, designing, crafting, cooking, and trying out all sorts of creative projects.

Spring is almost here and my mantel was in need of a new look.  I decided on yellow and green as a theme (because what's more Spring than that?!) and went form there.

I didn't have to buy a thing for my Spring mantel - everything came from around the house.  I use the apothecary jars on my mantel a lot and just change out the fillers to match the season.

I printed these botanical images out from Vintage Printable.  If you've never checked out their site, you are in for a treat.  There are thousands of images you can print out for free!

For fake lemons, I think these look pretty realistic!

I've had this ivy plant for a while now and have been meaning to replant it to a different container with a topiary form.  But for now I think it looks great on the mantel.

The little mercury glass votive holders are filled with moss.  I just took a handful and stuffed it in!
