White Mantel and Spring Finds

Looking at so many beautiful whites at the 100th White Wednesday last week inspired me to really zone in on whites in my own home.  Here's a spring mantel makeover I did recently. 

After missing out on the Brimfield Flea Market this month, I took a trip to the White Elephant Shop outlet to make up for it.  I've written about the great bargains to be had there in this post.  The visit didn't disappoint! 
I found this salvaged white spindle (next to the candlestick) for just $1, as well as this HEAVY iron scrollwork piece:

I was excited to also find two ironstone pieces, one of which is this jug holding lilacs from our bushes:

This neat chippy drawer was only $5.  I plan to use it as an 'inspiration box', holding bits & pieces that I find compelling.  You'll see I've included my pretty French script gift box and star ornament from the giveaway I won from Karen. 

Lastly, here's a white wicker chair I rescued from my neighbor's curbside.  I captured a photo on one of our rare sunny days.  May hasn't felt much like spring, but here's hoping June is sunny and bright!

I'm sharing these with the 101st White Wednesday over at Faded Charm.  

Don't forget to enter my French Farmhouse Style giveaway, which ends May 29th!
