Howdy- and welcome to our Home May’d Summer mantel link party!
Of course this party isn’t really limited to just mantels though– we wanna see all kinds of Summer-y displays! Whether they’re on a window sill, a bookshelf, a ledge- you name it, we’d love for you to link ’em!
Our overall goal with this years Summer mantel display here at TLC was to create something simple yet fun…think: picker meets picnic!
And, as usual, we mainly used things we already had around the house. We did spend about $28 to make the wood/word art…
The other items we used were pulled from various nooks and crannies around the cottage…
(Driftwood sailboats- White Flower Farmhouse; Candleholders- Pottery Barn; Knot ball- TJ Maxx; Faux flowers and striped pillow cover- Ikea; Live flowers- Home Depot; Cricket cage, soda crates, picnic basket and wood plant pots- Various flea markets.)
To give the old cricket cage a little more Summer-inspired spark, we hot-glued a white pencil starfish to the front of it…
…and to add a little pop to the top- we stuck our $7 Ikea “fauxliage” down inside it…
Now let’s get this party started, shall we?!
If you already know the link party drill, feel free to scroll on down and link away!
If you’ve never linked up to a link party before, here’s how it works…
1.Scroll down this page until you see the “add your link” button. Click it, and create a super-descriptive name for your link. Something like, “Seaglass Summer Mantel”, or “My Beachy Bookcase”. That’ll make it easier for folks to browse through all the links.
2.Make sure you link directly to the Summer display post you’d like to share– not to the main page of your blog.
3.Last but not least, we’d sure appreciate it if you’d slap this button at the end of your Summer display post on your blog. Just copy and paste the code in the box below into the html part of your post, and voila!
