Seasons of the Wreath

Our front door wreath has been the same for months on end because I have loved it so much.  It all began with our Valentine's Day Wreath that I posted about back in February!

During the summer I added this black and white polka dot ribbon that was tied around one of my birthday presents:

During late summer/early fall I swapped the pink flowers out for metallic gold:

I finally decided it was time to trade the summery ribbon for something more autumnal.  This silky caramel colored ribbon with black lace was a perfect replacement and I thought these dark eggplant colored flowers along with glittery black ribbon would look great:

Progress...

Didn't love the flower addition, so off they came and the final result  is much more simple that I imagined, but I love it because the gorgeous caramel lace ribbon is the focal point:

Amber Autumn Wreath

A rainy Labor Day provided the perfect opportunity to change out our summer wreath and create a new one pour l'automne.  Once again, I used what I had in my jewelry and sewing box and created a simple yet elegant wreath to add a festive fall feel to our front door..

I hope you'll try to create a glamorous autumn wreath from your fabric scraps and jewelry box treasures.  If you do, send me pics, I'd love to see what you come up with!  Have a lovely day, Alicia
