Autumn doesn’t arrive in a day, it takes weeks for the trees to be color washed in crimson and burnt yellow. Months for the bright orange pumpkins to be ready on the vine and the veggies to be ready for the harvest. I relish each and every one of those scrumptious moments as sultry Summer gives way to crisp Autumn mornings. I’m still nesting around here Peeps and I did another quick and easy little decoration that can be used for Fall but also used for the Holiday Season ahead. I’m budget minded this year.
Remember when I did a re-do on my boring hall-tree? I wanted to use my new favorite color, or a muted shade of it anyway…this sea-blue/tealish hue . But when decorating for Autumn I needed something to pull the teal and the warm colors of Fall together. I found the best ribbon. All of it was budget-friendly too!
I got a $3.99 grapevine wreath and these adorable tiny lights that have a brown cord! They blend in beautifully with the wreath. The lights were $6.99 but thanks to my trusty JoAnne’s coupon I got them for 40% less! The berry garland and delicious teal and bronze ribbon came from Michael’s. (Did you know that Michael’s takes other craft store coupons!?!?!?)
This requires no explanation really…wind the lights and the garland around the wreath and attach the gorgeous ribbon and there you have it!
I’ll just change out the berry garland at Christmas or maybe I won’t! But the beauty of this is that it’ll serve me well through the Holiday Season! Happy Nesting Peeps…
Sending love and prayers your way today~

I had no idea it could be so inexpensive to do a wreath like that! It makes me want to just keep walking right on in to see what other treasures you have. I have to go spend a day at the craft store
Will you take me with you? I’ll take you for coffee first! Much love to you Robin.

Okay Robin, I think you should take us on a tour of your entire house. You do have the knack. I feel like I’m watching Martha Stewart.
So beautiful..kinda magical. I wanna come visit you soon. <3

Just found you through One Pretty Thing. LOVE your blog, and I LOVE this wreath. I must now go and make one. I’ve been moping around the house the last few days because of the non-fallish weather (how can one bake up a storm when it’s 80 degrees outside??), but this nifty little wreath project has inspired me. I’ll be back.

Hi there. I have just discovered your blog, and I love it! You have such great ideas and style. I am going to copy this wreath, if you don’t mind. I have one quick suggestion for your wreath, to make it even better: run the cord for the lights up behind one of the ribbons (you could even tape it or hot glue it in place), then behind your beautiful hall tree, plugging it into an extension cord if needed to reach the wall plug. Then the cord would not show at all with the wreath. Keep blogging!
Patty~ So nice to meet you! And that is a GREAT idea! Thx! Suggestions and ideas always welcome
Hugs~
