Finally....

I have had a difficult time so far getting to work on new wreaths. With my daughter's wedding, I have a feeling it might be like this through October.  I've been excited to put together some of the materials that I bought at the Americas Mart in January.  I'm trying some new ideas, but you'll be seeing some of the more popular wreaths from last year too.  Here's what I have today.  I hope to have more by this weekend.  I haven't posted these on Etsy yet as I am still working on the pricing, but they should be up soon.

This one you've seen before, but I added a new Spring Color.  Love it with the Pink. 

I did one of these last year and loved it so much I wanted to make it again this year.

 

Here's one of the newer wreaths I am working with.  I love the the natural materials and this is a 16" moss wreath. I'm still working with the right size of bows since this is a much smaller wreath than usual, but love the carrots with the orange polka dot bow for Easter.

I found these Peonies and had to use them in a wreath.  My first idea of a bow did not work, but had this chartreuse raw silk ribbon left over from Christmas and loved the way it contrasts with the pale yellow flowers.  This one is on my door right now and I love it!

 

Guess What We're Having This Year!

After a month off recuperating from the Holiday Season, it's back to work with some new ideas.  As you can probably tell, we're going to have a wedding this year and I came up with this wreath for the engagement party next week.  A great idea for engagement, wedding or anniversary.  I was able to go to the Mart 2 weeks ago and have some great ideas for the coming months! Be sure to check back to see what I come up with.  You can be sure they'll be a lot of wedding wreaths this year.  

 I liked the idea of making the wreath look like a wreath veil for a wedding and added some boxwood picks to offset the colors.

 I like the simplicity of the grapevine, but I'm looking forward to working this idea into some of the burlap wreaths too.

 Ready for the guests!

Merry Christmas!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!  I am showcasing how I used my favorite wreath this year.  The Red Burlap Holly Ribbon wreath.  I used it on top of my range hood and I love how the red really adds some holiday flair to my kitchen.  Merry Christmas!

 

 

Last Minute Preparations for the Season.

For every show I like to come up with a few new wreaths.  I've had so many ideas on decorating the wreaths in the last months, and here are some of the ones I've finally gotten to.  I know the black and burlap is not necessarily Christmas colors, but I think this one gets the Christmas greeting across.  Thank you for all your comments and suggestions and I hope you enjoy them!

Silver Bells and Silver Ribbon help to decorate this black chevron burlap wreath for the season.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the poinsettia print on this ribbon sparkles.

I had to do another deer wreath.  I love these natural fiber animals and I think they go so well with the burlap.

Apple Annie's Craft Show, December 6-7

This week is my last craft show for the season at Apple Annie's Craft Show at St. Anne's in Roswell.  The show will run this Friday, December 6 through Saturday , December 7.  Here is a link to more details.  It's my first year at this show and I'm trying to incorporate all the favorite wreaths of this year's season.  Let me know what you like from this collage or from any other wreaths you've seen on my blog this season.  Thanks for your help and I hope to see you there!

Happy Thanksgiving!
