Fireplace Mantels 123
The other day, someone asked me about the kind of restaurants I liked. This is what I said: "Cool, local, and delicious. The kind of place that has chill music at its Sunday brunch and lights a cozy fireplace when it's chilly."
The next day, I got an email from my very first advertiser, Fireplace Mantels 123.
(My first advertiser! I know!)
It was interesting timing. You can already sense a teeny, tiny bit of autumn in the air around here--just teeny, tiny, but enough to be noticed. I'm not totally ready for it, but I will admit to thinking about buying a few cute new sweaters. And maybe even a scarf. (And definitely, always a cup of hot cocoa.)
The company sells, of course, tons of fireplace mantels, but they've got loads of accessories that are filling the Cottage of My Future. I've been mining the site and finding tons of things I am dying to have--for one, a fireplace (duh). But also fireplace kettles! Steamers! Chic log holders!
That Cottage of My Future cannot get here quickly enough.
Above is a roundup of some of my favorites. Below is the info. Now click on over there and start your autumn a little early. And tell them I said hello.
1. Pacific 2.5-Quart Porcelain Coated Black Kettle / 2. Basel Pewter Fireplace Log Rack / 3. Donato Medium Wrought Iron Fireplace Screen / 4. Creede Solid Brass Match Holder / 5. Capitol Stainless Steel Log Hoop / 6. Meeker 3-Quart Porcelain Coated Blue Steamer with White Speckles / 7. Chiusa Antique Brass Andirons / 8. Fletcher Leather Gloves / 9. Antero Heavy Weight Canvas Log Tote

I, too, am a huge fan of fireplaces. Looking forward to toasting marshmallows in the Cottage of Your Future, or perhaps on the Enclosed Porch of My Future.
Rachel-it's a Future Date!
will you buy me a personal fireplace??? i didn't know such things existed until now! For $50!
Love fireplaces and love having fires. One of my requirements in finding this house was a real woodburning fireplace. Sometimes I even build fires while Bob is at work!
Speaking of being ready for Fall, my friend Julie was telling me that she can't wait for it so much that she already made the spiced apple cider recipe I gave to her last year. Makes me wonder... where on earth did she get apple cider in August?
I love fireplaces and agree with Kendall! The kettles they have are just like my grandmothers old one. Brings back such awesome memories! I am so ready for "fireplace" weather.
Have you ever seen those ones you can just plug into a wall? When we lived in an apartment without a fireplace I really wanted one.
Congrats on your first advertiser!
Desperate for one!
