Keratin treatment to tame my frizz – check.
Flip flops replacing leather boots – check.
Miracle suit to suck in all the stray flesh – check.
Lightening up my mantel for summer – check.
This turtle was obviously too slow crossing the road.
Found him on ebay.
Vintage seascape – the artist carved his name into the canvas –
anger management for that guy.
Here’s to the lazy days of summer.

Does miracle suit make full body armor?
~Bliss~
Love your summer style. That is a snapping turtle shell. Good thing it is empty.
The seashell mirror looks great on your mantel. Really enjoying your blog!
I love it Kelly!! That metal bucket of coral looks like it belongs at my place … why don’t you bring it down? 🙂
Love that fan!!! Love! I have one like it…but not as wonderfully old. The whole thing is just lovely!
Love your mantel. Check.
Glad you finally washed your hair. Check.
Was a little worried about you having a you-tube version of “I’ve Got You Babe” 🙂
Happy summer mantel day!
🙂 me
EASY BREEZY BEAUTIFUL is RIGHT!! xo
Love your mantle Kelly! Great score on the turtle shell on ebay! You know that if you ever want more, you just have to call up ‘Turtleman”….ever heard of him? http://turtlemanliveaction.com/
He catches live snapping turtles in the swamps with his bare hands! Yep, no kidding!! He’s been all over TV lately, that’s how I know (not that I catch live snapping turtles myself! HaHa!). Have a great week 🙂 Heather
She sells sea shells by the seashore! I wish I lived near the beach! Baskets of shells…better than baskets of vegetables!
Tammy
It’s beautiful. 🙂
Loving that mantel you pulled together with your fabulous coiffed hair and flesh moving body suit and flip flops in place …
And I’m trying to figure out how you found a turtle shell on ebay … like did you actually type in that search term …. and if you did, what inspired you to …?
🙂

Love your mantel Kelly! The painting and the fan got me…LOVE those!
your mantle looks perfectly summery! and i am with you- i need the miracle suit, but i am still holding out, waiting for the long swimdress to make a comeback.
How fun and beachy! I really love that painting too! It’s fabulous!
Love it that the artist carved his name into the canvas…funny.
Kelly,
Your mantel is lovely! I really love that vintage fan,
Kathleen
I just bought a slenderizing suit too! What did we do without these things? Anyway, I love how summer=beach for most people and your mantle is no exception, it’s dreamy!

Love the mantle and love that vintage fan.
I’m trying to imagine you searching for “dead turtle” on eBay! Love the fan…love the basket of shells…love the mantel!
Poor… poor Mr. Turtle.
Hope he is happy gracing the fab Summer mantle.
Hey, it could be worse 😉
I totally have the exact same white basket.
We have such good taste 😉
Perfection, Kelly…just perfection! I just got home from the beach, and now I want to go back and live in Hilton Head…your mantel is not helping this matter!
I LOVE the beachy mantel. It looks amazing.
I have a real hard time trying to use beach pieces in my rooms as we live hundreds of miles from water. :))
Fun mantel. . . Perfect for summer! Everything really looks great together! Especially love the vintage fan. 🙂
I love your summertime collection, your mantel is summer perfect. Now about that miracle suit the sucks in extra bumps….I’ve just got to find one of those!
Your summertime mantel is fresh and inviting. Every element has so much character…especially that old fan. Great Job!
Blessings!
Geneva
Fresh and fun, Kelly! Love the chippy old fan, but that artist’s “signature” is too much!! Character indeed!
xo Heidi
gorgeous my friend! OK, I still have my eggs up from easter,,,,,ugggg….

LOVE your summertime mantel, especially your wonderful vintage fan and the wire basket full of shells. Perfect!
Mary Alice
Perfect “beginning of Summer list.” Check!
Thanks for the inspiration! I was just rearranging and changing up my ‘mantle’ for summer and I have an old fan too — never thought of using it there! Yours looks fantastic.
Love, LOVE that GE fan! It’s a keeper!!! 🙂
It looks like the perfect summer day all rolled into one on your mantle. I so need to get with the program. My mantle doesn’t know what season it is. There are too many unfinished projects around here that cut in line and the poor mantle is left to remain seasonless all year. I will just live vicariously through everyone else’s gorgeous changing seasons mantles. Don’t be looking for me to win any mantle link up parties anytime soon.
Love the turtle shell and the painting! My grandmother had a fan like that, brings back memories of lazy summer afternoons at her house.
The mantle looks great. Awesome fan. I say embrace the frizz! Frizz is the new black.
I love it! It is so open and fresh 🙂 Perfect for summer.
Oh great mantel vignette. I totally adore that fan. Thanks tons for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Oh I want that fan!! What a fun and unique mantel! Great ideas! Come link up to Centerpiece Wednesday and share you ideas with us.! I am going to pin this too!!
