here to stay, is the new bird.

This was one of the first things I've made since re-opening the shop. I even photographed and listed it in the same day (That means I'm really excited)! I have a few more wreaths (I think about 5) that are already made. I hope to have time for taking pictures and adding more listings this weekend... For now, it's time to catch up on sleep.

New Wreaths.

That sneak peek earlier this week was of these two wreaths I made. Like my other wreaths, they are made of yarn and have both moss and ribbon on them. I wanted to make another wreath with deer on it like the one I used in the giveaway on Freckled Nest. Something new that I did was add these paper flowers. Philip has a TON of scraps from hollowing out the vintage books for his lamps. I always feel so horrible throwing them away so I took a few and started just playing with them. Eventually, I made these flowers and loved them!

I think the light colors of the moss, bark, paper flowers with the branches are perfect for winter and fall. I like making things that don't fall into traditional color schemes that holidays tend to have (Halloween: orange, black, purple. Christmas: red, green, white. etc) I would definitely display these with our Christmas decor.

I'm planning on using some of these paper flowers to make a set of boutonnières. Whatchya think- good idea?
