Cute Chicks and an Easter Mantle…In Progress

      

A week ago, while at a super cute shop in Denver called Talulah Jones, I saw the most adorable spring/Easter display.  There were pompom garlands, and mini carrots, and chicks.  Lots of cute chicks.  I was struck with inspiration, and since I now have a great mantle on my new fireplace, I decided that I would decorate it.  I am so glad I did.  I wasn’t quite sure how I wanted it to look, but I definitely wanted a springy, Eastery theme.  So while at Hobby Lobby, I spotted these adorable mini Easter chicks.  Just the perfect size to glue onto some mini clothespins!  I also grabbed some pink, sparkly pompoms, some white mini pompom trim ribbon, and an adorable rabbit figurine.  I picked up the mini carrots at the cute shop.

Today after getting home from a weekend away, I went to work on my Easter decorating.  I am not done yet but here is what I did get finished.  I made the chick pins.  First I got out my trusty glue gun and separate all of the chicks and clothespins.  Then I started gluing.

Some of the chicks were a bit twisted, so I just turned them to face front.  Nice and orderly.

Isn’t it cute?!

All lined up and ready for garland duty!

Close up.  Eeek!  I can’t get over how cute they are!

After gluing my chicks on, I grabbed my pompom ribbon and glued my pink, sparkly pompoms on it too!

Then I hung the pompom trim up with the lovely robins egg blue ribbon I got at that same great store.  I also got some super cute fabric carrots from the same shop.  The designer of the mini carrots and the fabric carrots is Bethany Lowe Designs.  Such cute stuff.  I can’t wait to go back for Halloween decorations!

Here is the mantle so far.  I’m not done yet.  I have plans for a “SPRING” banner of some sort, so stay tuned.  I also plan on modge podging those candle with glitter!  Have you started your spring/Easter decorations yet?
