I found this image above via Junkgarden (who happens to have an AMAZING flickr line-up here) and I just felt happy and inspired to create something yellow!
Over the weekend, Hubs surprised me with a bouquet of sunflowers. (He had noticed me admiring some sunflowers in someone else’s garden…love that man!)
I decided to make them the focal point of my mantel.
I really wish I had some lemons to throw on up here, but a birds’s nest will have to do.
I originally had the flowers in a small, white creamer but things were looking too flat and even. In fact, the flowers could still use a bit more height.
But all-in-all, my mantel just makes me happy to look at!
So now it’s your turn! Show off your summer mantels and/or vignettes! Linky will be open this week so join in any time. I’ll do a review of my favs next week.
Hooray! Beth you just gave me somthing to post about today. Thank you! I'll be back to link up since I need to snap a few photos first.
WOW! I adore your gorgeous new sunflowers! They are truly one of my new favorite flowers. They just seem happy don't they? You created a really pretty vignette for your mantel!
See you soon! ~Melissa
That mantel is georgeous! I love the mirrors paired together. I also envy a husband that picks up sunflowers on a whim! Thanks for hosting – I don't have a mantel, but I am working hard on getting there!
what a sweet sweet hubs! i'm linking my hall table, since i don't have a mantle. it's my makeshift mantle for now.

Your mantel looks beautiful! I'm really loving yellow too. I think I need more in my house now. The sunflowers are gorgeous. Thanks for hosting again. I love new ideas.
Love your mantel! What a great husband to pick up sunflowers for you!!! Is he for rent???
Thanks Beth, I love a good party! Thanks for hosting and I love you vignette!
Love the sunflowers – they just scream summer. Thanks for hosting!
Beth,
I am a sunflower girl. I have them in my kitchen and they seem to just brighten your day. I love what you have done with your mantel. I wish I had more courage to change it all the time. I find one way I like and then I keep it that way until Christmas comes along. Thanks for the fun party.
