All of the Autumn decor at Rite Aide is 50% off already. I don't know why... perhaps they know that normal people wouldn't pay full price for the fodder they are selling. At any rate, I did like this Welcome wreath. I had been looking for something to put on my front door to replace my Spring / Summer wreath.
Have I mentioned before that I love birds and all their accessories? Bird houses... bird feeders... bird feathers... bird songs... bird watching... bird books... wild birds, mind you, not the domestic. I gave up on them long ago. Anyway, there was this cute, okay, potentially cute bit of decor that seemed to call my name. As I held the birdhoused welcome in my hands I envisioned some small woman in China using a precariously sized glue gun, pasting the wimpy leaves, scarce berries, and pathetic raffia bow onto the wreath with as much pride in her work as she could muster.
I decided I needed to give this wreath a home. I continued down the isle and found some fake Fall flowers, also 50% off. I made my purchases, went home, put my little ones to bed, then got to work.

Wow, how creative are YOU? I love what you did with the wreath. I'm a little late, but this weekend I'm definitely getting my fall decorations out. We don't have Rite-Aid here, though...wish we did!
Have a great weekend...
Wow! Look how cute you made that!! It was cute before but then I scrolled down and now the first picture of it looks plain!! Great Job!!
You are so creative! I love what you did with it!
WOW!
Great talent to take the ordinary and make it into the extraordinary!
That just goes to show that anyone who can make a planter out of an old sink can do ANYTHING! You know great minds think alike! Ha! Ha!
I have go to get my fall decorations out of the attic! Haven't ventured up there yet! Maybe when we get our "new" house/
Better yet, I can find some new ones when we go to the mountains on vacation!
Blessings,
Plant Lady
