Winter White :: Wednesday

Stacked things on the mantle shelf by the woodstove:

Sort of silly and whimsical, I know, but it makes me smile to not have things too stuffily and formally arranged up on that shelf.  Here's the opposite side of the shelf, and spectrum. 

Snowmen made last winter with thrifted wooden beads, a piece of wooden dowelling, and extra knitted pieces from making korkenissen.  Sea Urchin shells brought back from Panama last year.  Aspen stump, cut off of the base  of one of our Christmas "trees" several years ago, and which has lived permanently on this shelf ever since.  Stacked fabric tree sewn in December,   Candle holders stacked up when dusting the shelf after Christmas.  Mushroom knit and felted this last week but not yet sewn together.  Hooks still there from hanging stockings.

Go check out the new things in Amber's shop.  Cute linen smocks, pretty bags, book marks, and her embroidery!  She's just updated today.

Wow, thank you for the plug, Siri!

I love your mantle: the varying shades of white and grey and the peacefulness it exudes. Those little knitted hats on the snowmen are too cute. It reminds me that I should switch my little shelf around a bit---a great reason to go looking for little bits of nature to add to it...

I love this...your photo and arrangement is perfect.
I feel very comfortable and interested in everything here. It feels very Scandinavian...I am a Far Mor to a little half Danish baby :) Me, I am Icelandic.

it's gorgeous - what a contrast to the other side's vibrancy.

I was just thinking how cute it would be to come up with a knitting pattern for the littel sea urchin "snowmen". Something with bobbles & ribs perhaps? Too cute!
