Happy Fall...


Happy Fall.



I worked out in the yard with the hubby today. Despite wearing a sweatshirt and...uh...glistening from my elbow grease expenditure, I was chilled.

Fall is here.

Have YOU decorated for the season yet?

Take one boring, inexpensive grapevine wreath:



And add (stick em in, glue gun em in, wire em in) a bunch of fall-ish berries, sticks, floral picks, whathaveyou. Then HANG it UP.

Me? I had a TON of red berry sprays that I yanked out of a 75 cent garage sale wreath. And yes, I DID spray paint half of them orange. Cause the season demands some ORANGE. Also threw some leftover sticks in there because this girl loves her some curly willow:



Fall is here. Let the apple cider consumption, harvest candle flickering, cozy blanket snuggling and fireplace crackling commence...

    You're ingenious! I LOVE the look of this wreath. I was thinking it storebought (shoulda known better), it was so well put-together! Great colors and placement!

    I wish I could just stick berries and twigs and stuff in a grapevine wreath and make it look like yours :o) Great job!

    Beautiful wreath! I love that the berries are "recycled". I never thought of deconstructing one wreath to make another, but now I know how!

    LOVE the dressed up wreath! Awesome idea to paint some of the other berries.

    That looks really great. I'm not the best at wreath-making. I could learn a thing or two. =)

    Thanks for stopping by our blog and commenting. Have a great week!

    Hi! Your comment on my blog made me laugh - sad but true, Wal-Mart gutted the fabric section. All you can get now are the stupid "fat quarters!" My closest JoAnn's is a solid 30 minutes away. It stinks.

    Your wreath is great - nice job!

    The thing I love about your DIY posts is that you are able to have it all make sense to people like me. I just realized that I could do that. Thank you for showing me the way, A.

    You should just move back to Seattle so that I can pick your crafty brain. Why didn't you reveal your crafty side to me when we were together? Now you're a million miles away ;)

    Thanks for participating in Fall Family Friday at Thrifty NW Mom! What a great idea - I love it! I never think about tearing apart things I find at garage sales either and reusing it for other things.
