Neutral Fall Mantel - Take 3!

Any minute now, I may actually finish my fall mantel.

I promise. I think it's complete - finally.

I wanted to add some "life" to it - with green stuff.

So, that ended up coming in the form of moss balls.

I made two of them myself - with foam balls

from Dollar Tree, and chartreuse reindeer moss 

from Hobby Lobby. I attached it with hot glue.

They were a bit unruly until I tamed them a bit 

by wrapping wire around them.

The wire is actually used for jewelry.

This little project was really easy.

I stuck my little moss balls on top of two

shabby white wood candlesticks and called it good.

I also added a couple of wasp nests into the mix.

They just amaze me - they are a form of paper!

These are years old, and still very strong.

I can't promise I won't tweak again...

but since this mantel is fairly full with

some of my favorite fall elements, 

I don't expect many changes to happen here.

Here's the first mantel:

The second mantel:

And the third mantel again:

You know what they say...
the third time is a charm.

Word for the Day:
1 Corinthians 15:4...that he was buried, 
that he was raised on the third day 
according to the Scriptures,...
