Summer Beachy Mantel

I thought I would try for a summer beachy look for my mantel for "The Lettered Cottage.net's" party. My mantel is very shallow, so I can't put anything very tall on it, but I still had fun doing this.

While we are in a beachy mood, I thought I would share the "Under the Sea" quilt I made. Here is is displayed in our "Olive Kat" shop. It was a combination of a block pattern and some elements I made up. It is basically all applique.

Here is the mantel in it's (awkward) entirety. So, now I am in the mood to go to the beach! Fortunately, we have a family reunion at Seaside in three weeks!
