Easter "Mantle", 2017

   Welcome!!!

In my last post, I shared the 6 foot Tree that I decorated for Easter in our Living Room ......
Click HERE if you missed it!!!

 There are 2 other Easter Trees in the Living Room and in this post, I will be sharing Tree # 2!!
 I treat the top of our Entertainment Center in the Living Room as if it was a Mantle........
 So this is how I decorated the "Mantle" in the Living Room for Easter!!
 I set up a little Easter Village vignette...........
 The Easter Putz houses were bought at The Christmas Tree Shop several years ago.......
 The Easter Bunny Nutcrackers were bought at a Flea Market a few years ago......
This Tree is decorated with Egg Garland and lots of Egg ornaments........
I also added a strand of pastel colored lights to the Tree.......
It's topped off with a bow made from 2 different colors of deco mesh ribbon that matches the bow on the larger Tree in the Living Room........
  These cute little boxes with houses on top of them were also bought at The Christmas Tree Shop......
 On the other side of the Tree........
 Another Easter Bunny Nutcracker.......
 And another Easter Putz house......
 I strung a set of fairy lights around the Village.......
 I will be sharing how everything looks lit in the Evening in another post......

 The 22+ inches of snow that was dumped on NEPA by The Blizzard of 2017 is melting fast because we have had temps. in the high 40's and in the 50's yesterday.........
Joe was able to shovel out the walkways in the back yard...........
The heavy snow may have done some damage to a few of the trees in the back yard.......
  It was nice enough that Joe moved the furniture back on to the front porch so hopefully , we will not get any more snow this Season!!
And now that it is officially Spring, I took down my Winter wreath.........
And replaced it with a Spring wreath that I made a few years ago.....
And I hung a little Spring Time plaque too!!
In my next post, I will be sharing Tree #3 in the Living Room and the rest of the Easter decorations in the Living Room!!
So I hope you will come by and visit  again!!

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

    Hi Debbie,
    Your trees are such works of art, my friend, and I love all the little Putz houses. It's always fun to visit and see what you're up to. Love the spring wreath too. We are getting a blizzard tonight and into tomorrow. Can't wait for this weather to turn to warm and sunny days with the song of birds in my yard. Happy Spring!

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Love your mantle and especially those Easter boxes with the houses on top. I still can't get over the snow you had. That was just too wild.
    Pretty Easter tree with the eggs too.

    I love the little mini putz houses on the boxes...haven't seen any like them before. Glad to hear you are finally digging out from the snow and can start enjoying some spring weather. Do you think your doves will come back again this year...I hope so. hugs...

    Debbie, I'm not surprised to still see snow on the ground, but it looks like it is working it's way down :) Your Easter mantle is so pretty. I love that little tree with all the pretty eggs! And your door wreath is gorgeous! Hope you and Joe are doing well. Joe is looking pretty happy there on the porch :) Take care of you and Joe.
