UPDATE AND A SMALL EMBELLISHMENT


Hello, there!
How is everyone doing?

Today I thought I give you an update on my homemade boxwood wreath before it is time to start taking down all the decor to get ready for Fall. Where did the Summer go?

I put it together during the last week of June using some boxwood tips from my own yard and I am happy to say it is lasting much longer than I anticipated. Here we are two months later and still looking pretty good.



Several weeks ago, while shopping at Michael's, I found this little metal trinket in their dollar section. 
I had no idea how I was going to use, but for one dollar, I couldn't go wrong.




Hmmm... How about if I add it to my boxwood wreath?

I cut one of those metal hangers they give you at the cleaners (glad I saved one) and gave it a coat of silver spray paint.



 When it dried, I glued the piece to the back on the embellishment.


 And since I have one of this inside the pot, it was very easy to just poke it in the foam.




 And I think it goes well with the Fleur de Lis designs on the mantle.

Beautiful inspiration out there!

  4. Maria Elena,
    Just the perfect touch for the boxwood with its French flower seller label and for your mantle... I had to pin this and have added this to my "to-do-list."
