Oh, Christmas Tree! Oh, Christmas Tree! How Lovely on My Mantle!

The Stories of A to Z 

is having a linky party of last year's mantles.

I wanted to join in the fun!!

So here is last year's mantle:

I made the feather trees with thin cardboard rolled into a cone, and hot-glued in place.
Then I hot-glued feathers in layers to the cone.
Easy peasy!

Doncha agree:
It IS A Wonderful Life!?

And as a bonus, the cafe' shelves last winter.

of why we created a cafe' in our basement.

I like simple.
And snowflakes are a great decor choice- they are appropriate all winter.
The snowflakes came from the Dollar Tree.
They have them again this year.

And these were the centerpieces for each table.
From Good Will: 50 cent glass hurricanes and 50 cent birds in $1.00 bag of "snow".
Brrrr......

I've got lots more to show you,
But this'll have to do for today!
