What is on your mantlepiece?

[newmobile]

Need some inspiration please?? Thanks

[HennyPennyHorror]

I've got a large wooden star which DH made...flat and distressed. There's a glass lantern DD made and some photos...not very inspirational! My other fireplace has a large 1920s vase which I usually have flowers in and either side are some wooden letters which are made from old cans and in the shape of our initials.

2 Yankee candles and a small lantern. Boring really!

[piglet81]

A few random family photos in non-matching frames and (currently) some of my 4yo's birthday cards.

[SpamChaudFroid]

A tiny Vallauris dish, (the ones made with the cicada), a figurine ornament of the owl and a pussycat in their beautiful pea green boat, a 1930s figure ornament of a giraffe glazed in an art deco stylee circles, a plastic Babycham fawn, an Alebrije cat figurine, a painted carved wooden tiger with most of the paint rubbed off, and a bronze hare.

Yes, I have no taste.

[Magmatic80]

A couple of (non matching) wooden carving type things that I bought on holiday, non matching photos of loved ones. a Lego Batman figure, a drawing of a house that I still haven’t had framed.

[MummytoCSJH]

2 of those crackling candles and photos of me and my little boy :)

[bingoitsadingo]

a photo in a frame, a small plant in a nice pot, two tibetan singing bowls and a wooden catapult.

Temporary additions are a postcard I am planning to frame, and various cards.

[Knittedfairies]

From left to right a vase, small framed picture, silver pincushion, silver Christening mug, a pile of cards for posting, a tub of Tictacs and a figurine. And some dust...

[Sofasurfingsally]

A bowl and two vases.

[Davros]

There used to be a lot more before I decluttered. Now an Arts & Crafts clock in the centre and a David Linley obelisk at each end (bought years ago)

[Beebumble2]

Three small studio glass vases in shades of purple and blue, a long gap then a small bronze lion ( been in DHs family 100 yrs) then two tall glass candlesticks with gold taper candles.

[Giggorata]

Oak chiming clock, a pair of green glass vases, a pair of brass bowls, a stuffed kingfisher under glass dome, a stuffed kestrel, a small bust of JS Bach, a photo of the DC, a pair of candlesticks, a cat skull, a small green glass handkerchief bowl, a small hand painted pot, a Pan figurine, a Hekate figurine, a small lamp... I am not minimalist..

[FauxFox]

Two metal vases, two pottery aardvarks, two antique elephants and some theatre tickets (and dust )

[BackforGood]

Some glass flowers. A Galileo thermometer. A family of small elephants.

[Bluntness100]

On the big one, an antique clock, six framed photos, two vases, two silver lantern things. On thr smaller one, an ornament we inherited, it's a white figurine, sits on the middle, and two candle sticks we also jnherited with candles in, at either end.

We also have baskets with logs, and those fire accessory sets, you know with pokers etc, as there is a wood burner in each.

Mantle one: Eleven elephants
Mantle two: Six bone inlay frames with family and dogs pictures
Mantle three: Four Swarovski Crystal tealight holders and tea lights
Mantle four: DD2s brass music scores
Mantle five: Nothing (DD1 is a minimalist 😂)

[MrsWidgerysLodger]

A small wedding photo in a silver frame, a Discworld ornament and two small grey candlesticks. Oh and one of DDs hairbands.

[starzig]

Was just thinking do people still have mantelpieces and along comes judas with 5 LOL.

[VictoriaBun]

At the moment , birthday cards, a clock, a picture of my mum ( passed away) and a hand blown paper weight.

[AuntieDolly]

Couldn't be arsed to describe it all 😀

[ColinKnocksTwoPence]

A pair of bronze cranes.
A pair of sepentine candlesticks and a Yankee candle.

[Redshoeblueshoe]

So I'm the only one with a pair of socks on mine

[floraloctopus]

two pictures painted by a family member, guinea pig antibiotics, various school projects from art/design, a medal, a trophy, a candle and various bits of pottery done by the DCs plus some beach pebbles, a piece of driftwood, a horses tooth and little houses - it's a weird mantelpiece with two shelves.
