Greetings friends!\u00a0 I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and are enjoying lots of time with family and friends.\u00a0 I’ve been away from the blog for a couple of weeks to focus on the merriment!\u00a0 But as New Year’s Eve draws nearer, I thought I’d continue with my annual tradition of posting a look back at my year in mantel decorating ideas<\/strong>. You can find my\u00a02012 Year of Mantels here<\/a> and 2011 Year of Mantels here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been following along here for awhile, you might know already that my fireplace mantel is a bit of a decorating muse for me!\u00a0 I find that mantel decorating for seasons and special holidays helps keep things feeling festive around here, especially during the less festive times of year. Looking back at 2013, I changed my mantel decorating a lot less frequently than in other years. That’s because the room our fireplace is in was disorganized for several months as we changed the room from a living room to a TV room<\/a>.\u00a0 But I did manage to add some festive spirit to the mantel for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Fall, Halloween and Christmas…<\/p>\n
