My New Wreath!!



So, this past weekend I went to a craft fair to do some on the ground blog stalking. If you are at all into reuse & recycling, you need to check out this website. She's fun! Janessa was selling these bedspring wreaths and I had to check them out in person. And, in a twist of fate, I ran into her again at the newest sandwich shop in town and mentioned to her that I hadn't installed my wreath yet as I was going to bling it up a bit. She looked interested and ask that I let her know what it looks like! I told her, I'd blog it up and throw her a link!

So, here it is! The recycled note flowers were made by Janessa. They are awesome since she hot glued magnets on the back. My flowers are from Thailand and I got them at a local store that sells free trade items from artisans from different countries. They are all hand made and I LOVE them. And for my last item, more gauze sprayed with some glimmermist. I really wanted the see-through look for my wreath so you can enjoy the curlies from the bedsprings.


Hope your Thursday is going well, only one more day to TGIF!

  3. Lisa M: My friend Lisa ROCKS, but I kinda like to think if I met all the bloggers I stalk, we'd have just as much fun. This wreath I did for inside, but I think outside would be fun too..outdoor modge podge maybe?

  5. It looks amazing! Great job! I'm glad you were inspired by the bedspring :). I will have to send you a link from my blog so people can see what other amazing things can be done with the wreaths with a little imagination! Thanks! Janessa :)
