Spring Subtlety

It seemed like a nice day to play around with a wreath idea that has been floating around in my head for a few weeks! It's hard to photograph a glass door, but I hope you can see well enough! If you look hard you can peak through the sun room into our back patio garden!


I 'shopped the house' for different gardening theme elements that I could put together.
I was surprised at how many little things were tucked away here and there!
I scoured the yard for fine twigs and a branch that would serve as my tree!

I made this 'gazing globe' with a wooden candle stick and a Christmas ball!
Wouldn't it be perfect for a fairy garden?
The trellis is a wooden button and some bamboo skewers.
The watering can used to be hot pink!

I used my acrylic paints to paint all the unfinished wood pieces and to re-paint the ones that didn't fit on my 'green and cream' theme! I distressed them a bit and used lots of sealer to protect them from the weather.

I hope Mr. & Mrs. Bird are happy with their new home!
They seem pretty content!

I hope the real Mr. & Mrs. Robin don't 'shop' my wreath like they did last spring!

Happy Spring!
