NOTHING WELCOMES A NEW SEASON BETTER THAN A DIY WREATH UPON YOUR DOOR!

Hi there, happy Fall! Seems like it was just yesterday we were saying bye to Fall...the seasons pass way too quickly so we must enjoy them while they are here! I don't think there is any better way to welcome a season and family and friends than a pretty wreath....even prettier if you make it yourself. It just shows the love you put out there for your home and friends and family. Its like the cherry on the cupcake !  I have been busy making a number of wreaths. Front door, side door , back door and the front iron gate. The wreath I am sharing today is on the kitchen door from the lanai. It is a steel door like most in these parts I guess due to the humidity etc...  I keep all the basic grapevine wreaths and just give them a spray with some Pledge before decorating.

 

The base is a grapevine wreath , homespun material was ripped and knotted all around and some earthy type pieces from my flower stash were attached.

 

 

 

If you notice the wreath hanger that is not so pretty but great for glass and mirrors working by a suction cup, making hanging a wreath easy just about anywhere. They were purchased from QVC a few years back.

 

 

 

 

 

I took a thin board and covered it with burlap and stenciled Fall and added a wire ribbon to accompany the wreath. Have you hung a wreath yet? Wreaths are so forgiving they look wonderful what ever way you want to design them! Thanks so much for dropping on in today!

 

Please join me at the following parties for some wonderful inspiration!

THRIFT STORE HYDRANGEAS # 2 and 3 ARRANGEMENTS!

Hi there , today I will share the next 2 arrangements with the 3.99 Hydrangeas bought on the thrift adventure. So if we break down the  3.99 price it's about 1.33 per arrangement.  So I decided to craft a wreath, it's time for a new one! I crafted the wreath itself a few years ago, so I made some shabby bows and painted a small birdhouse and put it all together.

I used the remaining flowers in my vintage milk pitcher.for a decorative pick I cut some hearts out of vintage pages and added burlap in the middle.


Girley insisted on being in the photo along with the clothes pin she carried up. Thanks so much for stopping in can't wait to share the sign and dishes in the next post!
