remantled

I know there is a word "dismantled," so maybe when you dismantle your mantel decor, you enjoy a "remantling" of it. As I've said before, I find it a bit more challenging to decorate a mantle than I thought it might be, before we had our mantle. But I'm not complaining! I do have to be sure things show up against the red brick, and that might be where my challenge lies.
Here is a winter look ... introducing some blue with the silver as we were given a b-l-u-e chair that is so comfortable, so I'm giving a nod to that color on the mantle.
I'm having a little diversion here with this post before I run over to see my mother who is sort of in a "holding pattern." I savor this unexpected extra time with her. And find diversions a good mental rest. Just for fun, a photo below of the sweet grand cherubs on a recent visit to their great-grandmother. They love to visit these animals out in the garden where she lives.

I just finished looking at your beautiful mantle and words. Then I looked further into your older blogs. It's just now I'm realizing that your Mom is apparently finishing her days here on earth and waiting for her new mansion home. I will be praying for you today and tomorrow and the next day--and for your Mom. Susi
ReplyDeleteYour new word is a good one...very logical. The mantel looks so good with the pewter? Silver? It shows up beautifully against the red brick.
ReplyDeleteIs your mother able to talk with you? I know you would not hold her here, but how difficult to let them go. Praying for her and all the family.
Podso,
ReplyDeleteNice to see you're having two diversions!
The mantle with its challenges looks quite nice. I like the addition of the blue!!! Ballard Designs catalog is showing Turquoise and Mustard together!!!
Your "little one's" are such a JOYful diversion, indeed! My how they've both grown!!!
Prayers are continuing for you,dear friend!
Fondly,
Pat
"Grand cherubs" are the assurance that life goes on in a precious way! Sending prayers and comforting thoughts to you.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Hello Dotsie
ReplyDeleteI'm not one for clutter so I like the way you have fashioned the mantle.
I hope the last days spent with your Mother are precious, I'll be thinking of you.

Your mantel looks wonderful. I love the silver trays. And how nice to see your sweet grandchildren enjoying the garden. Thinking of you as you wait and your dear mother lingers. Praying for peace and comfort. Hugs, Pamela
ReplyDeleteYour cherubs are so very precious and your mantle looks perfectly remantled. Thinking about you lots. Sending prayers and hugs... tanna
ReplyDeleteYes sometimes distractions are needed and grands are perfect for that.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all peace.
Gentle Hugs

The mantle itself is so beautiful, it hardly needs decorating, but I like what you've done ~ especially the birds. How wonderful for both of you that you're able to be with your mom in her last days. Blessings~
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty mantle...prayers for your mother and what a blessing to see your great grandchildren, a true gift from the Lord
ReplyDeleteYour little ones are darling. Your mantel looks very sweet and simple, very nice.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy
It is a lovely mantel and I like your decorations. I spy another similarity between us; that tall ceramic olive oil (or wine or vinegar?) jar near the two little birds. I have a small serving bowl that matches the design and used to have a pitcher but it got broken.
ReplyDeleteYou can put just about anything on the mantel and it will look good
ReplyDeleteYou and your family sure are surrounding your mom with lots and lots of love. Wishing you all the best, Tammy
Your word play is fun and makes a lot of sense. Playing with the mantle also looks like a good diversion as you wait out this "holding pattern."
ReplyDeletePraying for you all.
It's good to have a diversion or two, and 're-mantling' is a good one (and a great new word!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you today and hoping you know it.
