Finishing Touches

My mantle is pretty much the same pre fall, but I added the sea grass baskets from Ikea- a set of three for $4.99!




I found a set of three apothecary jars for a little less than $20 shipped. I filled them with beachy stuff that I have collected over the years. I just LOVE the puffer fish "floating" in the one jar!




Remember that I wanted some jute balls? Well, I tried to make some based on this tutorial.Let me just say that I hate any project that requires hot glue- my ball looked horrible so I just unraveled the jute to create a "nest". I want to make some of these birds to put inside.
