I got this little guy from the Dollar Tree and painted him a springy blue/green color.
The bird basket centerpiece that I was so excited about making just didn't turn out quite like I wanted it to. I'm not sure what is missing. I painted a basket that my mom had given me that I wasn't using for anything (see pic below). My always helpful boyfriend drew and cut out the birds and wings for me out of scrapbook paper I had. Then I painted a few plastic eggs (and then got tired of painting them so I just put them in the basket) and tied a bow on the basket.
The only thing I bought for the mantle was the vase on the left (on clearance at Kirklands) and the bird from the Dollar Tree so the whole mantle only cost $5. But it still just doesn't do it for me... What do you think?

Thanks so much for joining the party! I love the lillies and rocks flanking your mantel.
Lovely for Easter and spring. The little blue bird is so cute. That was a great idea to paint it. I won a cute little pink bird on a giveaway and have it on our entry table.
I think your mantel looks cute! And sometimes it just takes a few days to see what needs adding and what needs to be taken away. I am sure you will find your groove with your mantel, you are off to a great start.
Your mantle is definitely ready for Spring! Thank you so much for linking up to today to Be Inspired.

Love your mantel and that gorgeous bird - and that you painted him that lovely shade!
Thanks for joining me for my first Easter Decor Day and Happy Easter to you and your family!
Oh - love that little hat you made for your niece - she should be thrilled with it - my girl loved Toy Story on its first go round and she is 20 now!
