mantles at Christy Cottage

Decorating our mantle every month is one of the things I look forward to the most and the Easter Mantle is one of my favorites.

Having two Nor'easters in one week was stressing me out. What's a girl to do? Why decorate of course.

Give me a mantle and I will decorate it, even when I am fighting a cold and losing my voice.

It's another month and that means a new mantle at my house. I look forward to decorating a new mantle every month.

The Christmas mantle is up at Christy Cottage and we have a new member of our family.

It's another holiday and Christy Cottage is ready with this month's mantle.

Halloween is the favorite holiday for many in my family, so we have a lot of fun decorating every available space in our house.

This month, we are marking a milestone in our family because our oldest grandson is going to start Kindergarten next month. Go ahead, ask me if I am crying yet.

We have been blessed with so many strong, intelligent, and caring men in our lives.

This month it's all about our moms, grandmas, aunts, and the children who are now grown and who have become moms themselves.
