We’re at my parents this weekend for a visit and after a walk with my mom; I noticed something “Christmas” looking in the distance. As I got closer, I realized that my mother had a holiday wreath, red bow and all, still hanging on a plant hanger near the front door.
“Why on earth do you still have a wreath up – its March and gorgeous outside?”
“It’s fresh, was a gift from our investment banker, and is really expensive” my mother quickly spouted back.
“Typical…” I said under my breath….you probably recall my mom is a bit of a “pack rat” (remember I talked about my collector mother and sister in my Clear Your Clutter post AND my sister wrote about a similar topic in her recent Copper West post – Wire Crosses).
I offered my developing creative skills to revive her wreath with a quick craft session and “Spring/Easter” it up!
My mother is always good for lots of supplies, so I went digging through her collections! This is what I came up with!!
Hmm…I’m quite impressed myself!!
Happy Spring!

Oh my Robyn, i saw that today and had to laugh, thinking that is defenitly something mom would do! So i am now laughing thinking i may have picked up the “collector” trait… You defenitly picked up the “thrifty” trait! Haha
Ps. Walmart sells those wreaths for 10.00 at xmas! Lol good to not be wasteful though i guess! Lol
Robyn,
Your life is an Inspiration in it’s self! This lovely wreath is very creative, Im so impressed! I love reading your stories. You have accomplished so much, It gives me hope and inspiration for my life and for me to continue to strive to accomplish my own goals!Luv you! Thankyou!
I have to admit it we just took down our Christmas wreath too! But it was a metallic pink color, so I guess it wasn’t standing out too bad!
