Living Room Easter Mantel

Happy Weekend!  I love Saturdays.  I just enjoy going to  bed on Friday night and NOT setting the alarm clock. Weekends are for fun things!!!   I had a little time today  to work on some chalkboard art.  I am pretty pleased with the results.  I placed one on my Easter mantel in the living room and one on the back porch.  I still need a little lots of practice.. but I am getting there!  Here are some pics of my mantel and the sign on the back porch.

 
 
I saw a sign like this @ www.http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com and I thought it was so beautiful.  She has lots of beautiful art there.  Go check her out for inspiration for your own chalk art.
 
You know I just can't ever remove the portrait of my girls when I decorate my mantel.  I just love it; so I just work around it.   They love being in the middle of things anyhow!
 
 
I love these little birds sitting on a stack of vintage books.
 
 
Can you see the little bird peeking out of his cage?
 
 
And, of course, anytime I can-- I have to stick some of my hen collectibles in the mix!
 
 
Here's the Chalkboard sign for the back porch.  I came up with this design myself. (Not too hard to believe is it?  Lol.  It's nothing fancy!)
 
 
Thanks for popping in to see me!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
