A welcome...

for our new home!

I have been designing wreaths for 10 years ~ in fact I had a wreath business that was very good to me
I was able to create and make money by doing it
I still pass by homes that have my wreaths on their doors and I smile

I loved making wreaths ~ but I stopped doing it about a year ago!
I am not even sure why I stopped!

So tonight I was thinking about decorating the new house even though I will be painting and cleaning for almost the whole month of October

What could I do that would make the house LOOK welcoming while I was making it welcoming

A WREATH

I had a grapevine wreath on hand and  3 ~ 4ft lengths of HUGE fall leaves and some green florist  wire

I made this

wreath for our new home

It will stay until Thanksgiving

I like the colors as the new house is brick and there are maple trees
I think it will look welcoming on our front door
I can't wait till Friday to see
It is really full and whimsical and best of all it was FREE
I am going to add a step plant stand with varying shades of mums to the porch as well!
I am so excited
We will close on FRIDAY!!!
Just not sure about the time yet!
