Unique Door Wreaths
With all of us staying home longer and more often, making our spaces pretty and appealing is important - well, it is for me. And what better place to easily update your home decor than your front door.
You can spend hundreds of dollars buying something online or you can have fun making your own, which is what I do, and save myself a pretty penny.
When I think of Easter, I tend to think about Flopsy Bunnies and the Beatrix Potter characters. The unique Easter door wreath on my front door is a good reminder that you can have an Easter vibe without a rabbit in sight.
The metal bee was a Christmas gift that I now add to all of my seasonal door wreaths. That easily makes my door wreaths unique and reflects that I live in the middle of a bee garden.
The door wreaths themselves have been the bounty from my garden, I have made a number of wild grapevine wreaths. They also come from treasure hunt shopping at local thrift and consignment stores. If you don’t know this already, you can find some great bargains at these stores and often you will find unique, vintage and hard to find items not available elsewhere. And if you shop sales, you save even more.
This particular Easter-themed wreath came from my favorite local resale and consignment store Three Sisters at 713 Pine Street, Rolla, Mo. You will find most communities have similar stores, some benefitting charities like Goodwill and Salvation Army, where I also have found some of my other unique home decor finds. In addition to finding something unique and helping a good cause, you are also repurposing items and getting a good value for your money. I’m all into recycling, from kitchen scraps to clothing and home decor, it’s kinder to our world.
The blue ribbon on top came from a Christmas gift bag exchange delivered late February due to COVID concerns. When I look at that ribbon I am reminded that good friends remain good, caring friends, world pandemic or not, regardless of the time of year. We sometimes need that reminder.
I happen to know Three Sisters Resale and Consignment had some wreaths last week but no guarantees, their inventory turns over quickly and regularly. Which is a good reminder to stop in frequently, who knows what you may find!
