I am not trendy. I do not set trends. I am not a trendsetter. So of course blogging, like Pinterest, skinny jeans, and Mumford is something I am all excited about while everyone else is like "um, where have you been, Meg?" I am a trend turtle. Well I suppose that is a trend, to be a tail ender of trends. So, anyway, I thought I would start a blog about cute things that I like to make. (If you are wondering why all the cute things are in a corner . . . well, corner is a cute word and corners are kinda cute anyways.)
This cute thing is for doors. A wreath and the right kind of door go a long ways in making an ugly house look almost lovely. Brad and I love to look at houses and pick the ones that we should live in. We are content apartment dwellers who like to dream a little. Often, there are some big awkward houses that don't really know what to do with themselves, they just stand around in the neighborhood looking strange. However, if they have a bright door, a little bush or two, and a wreath, you really forget how awkward they are and maybe even admire them.
So, back to the wreath. I have two of these versatile twiggy circles. I like to change them for different seasons and holidays. For fall I did a rich pumpkin colored ribbon, sage green ribbon, and a creamy ribbon with brown vines. I added faux fall leaves and a little squirrel in the middle.Way to much detail? Just put up a picture Meg. (I am a lover of adjectives, I'm sorry.) For Christmas I did red ribbon and teal taffia and two white reindeer (ornaments from target). With ribbon, some fake flowers, and odds and ends from around the house, you can make inexpensive and attractive wreaths.
For this simple Vintage Romantic Wreath, I used my pearl necklace, two repainted bird ornaments, a cardboard heart with old sheet music modpodged on it, cloth roses, and a white ribbed ribbon. I really like how it turned out! Our door is now celebrating Valentines Day.
*I am excited to share my small business idea soon!
