  I changed out my winter mantel to my summer decor (we skipped spring decor due to illness in the family) a few weeks ago. I kept some of the same things I had out for winter and just swapped out a few others. I'm using the same elements I've used for the past couple of years , just in different ways.  I also kept the succulents in place as they go well with summer and beach decor.   Here's an overview of the whole mantel and hearth.

Easter came so early this year! I hope you all had a blessed day celebrating our risen Lord.   photo source Even though Easter has passed, there is still plenty of time to celebrate Spring.
