Summer Beach Mantle

Its official.  I'm crazy.  At least that's what my husband tells me.  My guests seem to enjoy it though.  Who decorates their mantle for every season?  Why that would be me.  I just don't like the summer kitchy crappe you find around here.

I do have a few sources for decorating that always have the best stuff.  I found these twig lights to replace the strand of cheap white Christmas Lights that shorted out a couple of weeks ago.  Not cheap.  I also found them online here. But please don't leave my site yet!  

Anyway, back to crazy.  I decorated with rocks.  And beautiful shells, but mostly rocks.  River rocks you can probably find at your local landscaping center.  And any kind of teal blue glass objects I could find.  In this case, we were at the Brimfield Antiques Fair last month, and I found these insulators used years ago to protect the connections on telephone polls.  Because Telcom been berry berry good to me.
