After a couple weeks off from the home tour, welcome back! This week I'm showing off my mantle.Growing up, never had a mantle...in the first home that I own, I have a mantle (Yay!) It is mostly a depository for cards - for whichever holiday happens to be upon us! While it is not perhaps the most elegant mantle in the world, I really love seeing the cards and occasional art from my nephew. It feels homey to me and I feel loved!
Amazingly, the details along the edge of the mantle almost identically match our bookshelves. It was like it was meant to be :) This room has changed the most since we've been here - it feels like it is growing with us!

I also love our fireplace, but at the moment, it is just a back drop for A's trains :) But wait, It seems to have been a backdrop for someone else's trains too...hmmm. It's also the backdrop of my bump photos from my pregnancy (so I'm going to share one of those too!)

And of course, it is the centerpiece of Christmas in our home...so it always makes me think of happy holiday memories!
I also love putting dried flowers on the mantle in the spring/summer, it smells beautiful and adds that extra loving touch!
