Spring has Sprung! {My Spring mantel}

After I took down our Christmas decorations (the day after Christmas) I needed green in my life. Even though it was still December I was ready for Spring. Here in Texas our winter has been really crappy. We've had maybe just a few snow flakes. Wimpy wimpy!!

So I skipped winter and went straight to Spring. Here is my Spring mantel that has been up since December.

You want details? Ok!

All of the pitchers I found at Goodwill in one single trip. Lucky day I guess! I spray painted them white.

The plate with the number 5 on it is from Dollar Tree which I already had. I printed out the number 5 on my laser printer and cut it out. A little bit of tape later and it was done. I chose the number 5 because there will be 5 people in our family soon enough.

The flowers in the pitchers are from Dollar Tree as well. I think I spent about $10 total for the flowers. That's not bad since at Hobby Lobby it would have cost me twice that probably for flowers.

The placemats are from Ikea. I have really come to have a love for Ikea lately. The store is right by my doctor's office and the last few appointments I've been stopping in to explore. I think it would be dangerous if that store was any closer.

The candlestick holders and "nests" are from Hobby Lobby. I painted the candlesticks white as well. The "nests" are the grapevine wreaths stacked on top of each other with some reindeer moss shoved in there.

I would still like to find two tiny pitchers to fill in the blank space in the center but I haven't had any luck yet at Goodwill.

So there you have it! Spring has sprung here!!
