You may want to check the spelling on this one

Could anyone give me a good translation for mantelpiece? I'm always at a loss how to say it in Spanish.

[Rusty]

la repisa de la chimenea

[Tomisimo]

Thanks to those of you who reported the misspelling. I apologize and I definitely need a proofreader. :o

[Tomisimo]

And I agree with Rusty, repisa de la chimenea or manto de chimenea for mantel, mantelpiece or mantelshelf.

Can you imagine being on holiday right now? In a log cabin complete with smoking chimney, Colin Firth (or whatever girl you fancy), champagne... all the works...:love::love::love:
Anyway, dreaming is cheap and so much fun... it even delays the appearance of fine lines...:cool:
It's too late, I think I'd better go to bed, because I don't make sense any more...:eek:

Mejor la chimenea, una taza de chocolate calientísimo y un buen libro. :)

[Iris]

I think I still prefer my own scenario.A lot more romantic...

Cute! It took me a while to see the little heart, though.

[Tomisimo]

Yeah, it was pretty subtle.
