DEBBIE-DABBLE BLOG: Easter "Mantle" 2016

I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Easter "Mantle" 2016

I treat the top of our TV Entertainment Center as a Mantle because I do not have room in the Living Room for a Fire Place...........

So I am calling it my Easter "Mantle"!!

Now back to the "Mantle"!

I decided to create a mini Easter Village..........

And another Easter Tree that is the smaller version on the larger one......

Let's start over on the left side.......

Glittered Eggs ( sorry for the glare from the egg) have been placed on top of a pair of blue mercury glass candle holders........

The yellow bottle brush tree is one of 3 bought at a yard sale for $5.00 for all 3!!

A Happy Easter vintage style sign and a Bunny Nutcracker bought at a Church Flea Market!

The Putz houses were bought at The Christmas Tree Shop several years ago.....

You can see that I added a set of pastel colored lights......

This Tree was bought at J.C. Penney's a few years ago after Christmas.

You may remember it decorated for the Patriotic Summer Holidays....

And in the Guest Room, decorated for Christmas........

The battery operated light on it failed to work so I replaced them with a set of warm white LED electric lights.......

A Topper Bow was made out of the purple and aqua deco mesh ribbon that I used to make the topper bow for my larger Easter Tree in the Living Room.......

And this Tree is decorated with a variety of Egg Ornaments.......

There are 3 putz house boxes and eggs displayed at the base of the Tree......

The right side.......

Again, a Bunny Nutcracker, an Easter vintage style sign and putz houses.......

A green bottle brush tree

So this is my Easter "Mantle"!

I hope you will come back and visit when I share the rest of my Easter decorations in the Living Room!!

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