The Wreaths Might Go with Me!

 So Glad this wreath didn't sell for the $1.00 price tag I put on it, I think I will pack it and take it with me now. Here are some photo's along the way of making this a bit more festive with some added trimmings!   The only add on purchases this year are Ribbon Spools bought for $2.98 each (9 1/2 yards) and a couple of bags of scatter tags from the $1.00 store!

 
Started with this....



Added a few things here and there, played around with different ribbons and bows.


 
found some other "stuff" to add to it, a few pine cones slathered in red spray paint.

 
and finally settled on simple.
 
I have this red Pottery Barn shelf that didn't sell at our Estate Sale. So that fit in just perfect.  The little Angel was $1.00 from the thrift store. AND.......yea it is vintage "made in Japan"  what a bargain right? 
The ceramic church I painted about 22 years ago and never did like the colors I had it. So I spray painted it metalic pearl white and then added a bunch of epsom salt to give a "fresh snow" effect,
It looks much better now.
