The tray is from Hobby Lobby, I turned it around and hung a starfish from it kind of like Beth and Layla did with theirs. It's simple and cute I think. At first I thought it looked like Patrick Star hanging there lifeless, I've overcome that out of the passion to decorate though. High five.
The other beach items came from my recent trip to Home Goods. :) Why oh why don't we have one in our town? That store sucked me in. Alright well there you have it! My fast forward to summer faux mantel.
Yeah I have the tacks up still from Christmas.. What about it?
Did you enter the giveaway yet?
Don't forget to stop by Beth's for the partayyy.

LOL :). I have tacks from Christmas still up too! Never know when you might want to hang a starfish from one of them, right? Love your beachy vignette. That tray is great! Thanks for linking up.

Funny you should mention Home Goods - I saw a sign in our local thrift for 50 cents that read "ORCHARD FRESH," and thought, what the heck! My kitchen needs more signs.
But I envy you for having the time/energy to decorate seasonally. I have enough trouble just making things nice!
I love it, I'm so ready for summer !
Rachelle you ROCK! Thanks for stopping over to check out my mantle!

I love it! I have some seashells in apothecary jars, but haven't decided what else to do with my mantle to put with it.
That is a great idea to turn the tray around. Very simple and sweet. I am new to blogging check it out when you get a chance. http://ms-smartie-pants.blogspot.com

Hey Rachelle..thanks to you, I realized I was spelling mantel wrong (was spelling "le".)

Hi There,
I would like to provide a link to your great party in my Link Party Directory at Tools Are For Women Too! I am glad to do this for followers of my blog if they will link up to my party as well called, Modern Craftswoman Monday . Please let me know if you are interested. I can be emailed at toolsr4women2@gmail.com if needed. Have a great day! Rory
Oh, I laughed at your reference to Patrick--we went through a very long SpongeBob phase here at our house. :)
I like your beachy mantel. When you think of the beach, what beach did you mean? When we lived in Michigan, we were completely landlocked. . .but the shore of Lake Michigan is so pretty! Is that the beach you mean?
I LOVE that beach sign! And I think the hanging starfish is cute. Very pretty :-)
Cute, cute, cute! Nothing wrong gearing up for summer. Looks great!
