With the cold weather and rain we've been having, it suddenly felt past time to remove the pumpkins from our porch and add a few winter touches! Off to the farmers market we went and home we came with fresh wreaths and greenery.
The wreaths were so beautiful and fresh in their simplicity that I left them just the way they were.
(We used removable 3M hooks on the porch to hang the wreaths.)
The farmers market had a lot of greenery clippings and kindly invited us to take as much as we liked, so I had plenty to add here and there, inside and out. I love its crisp wintery scent.
With it only cold on Saturday, we bundled up and ventured outside for some fresh air. I decided to try my hand at making a wreath with all the extra clippings I brought home... well, needless to say, my amateur attempt didn't look even a fraction as lovely as the ones we bought, but it was a festive enough touch for the back of the house (smile).
Happy December!
Very pretty!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very pretty! I hang my green ones plain as well.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful, Andrea! As does your lovely mother's new kitchen.

ReplyDeleteI love the fresh wreaths - they smell wonderful. I purchased one for the front door and only added a pretty ribbon. Inside they are all fake as the fresh pine makes me cough.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun week.

Those wreaths are all beautiful including the one you made! Love the sweet simple things the best sometimes- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThe wreath you bought at the market is pretty and picture perfect, but the one you made is more charming. I made a wreath one year out of pine cones. It wasn't as pretty as one I could have purchased, but I was proud of it because I had made it (and it took a good deal of time to make!).

Your house looks beautiful in its honest and simple outdoor decoration! I think the fact that you made the wreath by yourself it makes it special. Sending you warm hugs and wishes for a meaningful holiday!
