After two years of not being able to do much due to illness, I am now 4 months post THR on my L hip and 9 months out from the R hip and able to do things again. This morning I decorated my mantel for fall. It feels sooooo good to have things back the way I like them. My fall decorations haven't seen the light of day for 2 years, but they are back as of today!  (Please don't look at my husband's Japanese swords...lol)

Your mantel looks beautiful, and how great you get to really enjoy it this year! Having taught in Japan, I like your husband's Samurai swords too! I've seen some of these. They look like Katana to me, and some can be worth a lot of money. Smiley Happy

Hi @BriggsiePeawiggle

 

Your mantel is very warm and inviting Smiley Happy

 

I don't know what your illness was, but that's a long time to suffer.  I sure hope you've fully recovered and I'm glad to read that you are able to get back to doing things you like!
