A pink and blue mantel


My latest colour addiction is a mixture of blue and white with a splash of pale and hot pink. So in the middle of winter which I must say has been very sunny and nice really, I thought I'd freshen up the mantelpiece.


A couple of pretty paperweights with a super sweet Voluspa candle.



I enjoy mixing up new with old, contemporary with decorative, unique with mainstream....hence a mixture of Spode china, Freedom vase, Target dish and market finds.
I still need a nice piece of art for over the mantel. Hopefully that might happen soonish but I am learning not to hold my breath!

  4. I think your lovely display definitely adds a burst of 'spring like colour' to these wintery days - I love those blue and white decorative pieces - I was admiring that Freedom vase myself the other day :)

  5. I just bought that blue vase from freedom the other day! Twins! It's not the exact right colour I was hoping for though but it will do the job. I'm planning on putting it in my kitchen. Love your blue and pink display, so spring-y and fresh! have a lovely day Sarah,
