My January Shelf / Mantel

After taking down my nativity scene I needed to put something back up on my shelf. I actually did not go back to how I first decorated my shelf, even though I loved that too. And I'm quite proud of what I came up with considering what I have available.

(I've been a big fan on posting from my phone lately- hope the pictures are okay!)

My grandma gave us those candle sticks as a housewarming present. Eventually I'll get matching candles to put on them!

And that frame was actually from my grandma too. It was just an old one she was going to get rid of but thought I might like it. I was planning on painting it, but decided to use it before I got around it it. I surprised myself, but i think it looks pretty cool just the way it is. Anyway, that frame sat empty for a couple of weeks. I finally decided to add something to it a couple of days ago.

I had printed that quote a while back (it's no longer available - sorry!) and added some glitter to it. In order to hang it in the frame. I added some bakers twine to the back of the frame and hung up the print with a binder clip (it's what I had available!) I covered the binder clip with a ribbon to hopefully make it not look so out of place!

Not too bad, right? I'm just proud that I've switched it up 3 times already! :)
