Do you ever have a vision in your head and it just eludes you? I struggled with this mantle and in the end it's not what I had planned, but I'm absolutely in love with it! I fell in love with these pink flowers I found at HomeGoods and my original plan was to cover the entire mantle in them, but it was a pink frilly mess. I ended up opting for lambs ear (a big part of our wedding decor) and some powdered boxwood stems. Visit Amazon.com/shop/lowesferryfarm for all the Amazon goodies I used.
