French Vintage Friday – winter mantel
Happy Friday, friends!!! I hope you’re all having a good week! It’s Friday, which is always exciting! Today, for French Vintage Friday, Tara and I are each sharing how we have decorated our mantels for winter. After taking all the Christmas decorations down, everything feels so empty and sad.

Goodbye summer, Hello autumn! – bedroom mantel

I also added just a few flowers to the wrapped pumpkins. So easy, unique, and fun! For flowers, I used wax flowers, protea, and pink spray roses. I’m…
