Create a Quick Easter Mantel

When I decorate for the holidays, I tend to over-think things. In an effort to make holiday decor perfect, it seems like I end up over-doing and before you know it I have an unattractive mess on my hands. That’s when I start editing and editing and undoing a lot of the work I’ve just done. For Easter, I decided not to think too much and just go with my gut instinct … which led to lots of flowers for a quick Easter mantel.

But when I see the crocuses poke their heads up out the cold ground, I have hope for sunshine and warm breezes and my heart sings.
