If you are one of the lucky people that have fireplace mantels you can really be creative with all the beautiful summer time blooms!

We have a mantel and for each season we decorate it accordingly. For Summer Solstice it was decorated with the most beautiful brightly colored flowers and other foliage that I cam to find. Mixing in a little of this and that and who but you would know it is an alter? Nobody!!

Not only is it a great way to have your alter up and in view but those who visit will not be the wiser. They will only see the beauty that you have displayed.
