We don't have a mantlepiece, but I really want to join in with Estelle...
So here's the top of a bookshelf (a cheap one from the big blue and yellow emporium), with some of our favourite red things, mainly thrifted, including our newest toy- an old Sesame Street music box that plays "A person in your neighbourhood" (the girl walked back to the car holding it up near her ear like a boom box...).
More mantles (probably even real ones) over here...
Cute - I like that idea, all our toys are in primary coloured chaos! Can you draw anything decent on the Etch a Sketch? I always found them so frustrating!
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky to have some mantelpieces, but do need to sort more shelf space...
sweet Sesame Street BoomBox! love it
ReplyDeleteI really want to copy your 'mantel' shelf.... but it means cleaning out the toy boxes and that scares me just a little....ahhhhrgh, stuck on the horns of a decorating dilema!
ReplyDeletedon't worry about being mantel-less, you get to show us all you shelves and other decorated bits :)
Nothing better than a little red thrifted vintage toy love. Gorgeous mantle.
