Two Christmas Mantels

I've decided that I just like things a little more rustic and natural. 

I was playing with the mantel today and I created two different mantelscapes. 

You can tell me which one you like better in the comment section below.

   I have a collection of bottle brush trees. 

 They are called bottle brush trees because they are made the way brushes are made. 

Natural fiber or nylon filament is twisted inbetween two wires. 

I watched a youtube video about and now I want a brush maker.
Here:

A few of the trees are vintage but the rest have all been picked up at the thrift store. 
 

I think this is cute but it's not me.

I toned things down with pinecones, antlers and birch.

Some greenery clipped from the yard is in a white Bed, Bath and Beyond pitcher. 

The little pitcher next to it is vintage. 
I just love it. 

Which one do you like best?
For me is about the one that has the most longevity. 

 Thanks for stopping by.
