Love the meaning you gave to the broken clock. We have a broken grandfather clock which seems to mock me every time I look at it. I will borrow the symbolism you gave yours and turn a negative into a positive.

In reply to Ginny. Sara told me the same thing Ginny! Hahaha. So I moved the cardinal to the center, where I agree it looks much better. But the hanging wire on the back of it is off, and it didn't hang levelly with the others. It meant I would have to rehang the nail, and so far I've been too lazy to do that! I am going to get out my hammer and find a new nail, and do as you've suggested. Cardinal in the middle! Thank you...

I would put cardinal in the center as it is a way different color from the other two. Maybe raise it in the center a bit higher than the others. Then and only then would I start on the table IF and only IF I was going off a deep end… Hope you are going to share your completed mantel! It ROCKS!

I’m with you on asymmetrical displays, Julie. I think that when everything is too precisely matched, the sense of homeliness is lost. I also like the fact that you’ve got a clock that doesn’t work, but you keep it anyway. It would be awful if God abandoned His creation because it didn’t work properly …
The bird on the left looks especially appealing – I, too like to be reminded of the beauty of nature.

In reply to Ember.

I just can’t picture you saying, “I think it looks terrible!” Thank you… 🙂
