Welcome to our friends from Melissa's holiday decorating carnival!
I've had this grapevine wreath for years now- I love it! In every season I can fill it full of new stuff, and it hardly costs a thing to change my look.
I've always loved berry wreaths, but they're so expensive! I pruned these berries off some tall bushes growing along the west fence in my yard- I'm not sure what they are. Magic Bamboo? Witch Hazel? Whatever they were...they're wreath material now, baby! They're fairly boring bushes, and tall, most of the year so I had meant to tear them out over the summer. I'm glad I didn't- I think I'll leave them there just for the free wreath every year! I clipped berries and red-leafed branches last year and put them, dry, in a vase- the color stayed true when they dried. I'm hoping this wreath will last until the new year.
For construction, I just stick stuff in- no wire, no tape. Easy peasy, rice and cheesy!
Oh look- here's my Spring wreath!
Have you started decorating for the Christmas/Holiday/Winter season? Ernie and Wonder Daddy put up the lights today, and I'm so excited to pull out our favorite indoor decorations and watch the kids' faces light up!

Beautiful!!
So pretty :) I use a heart-shaped wreath like that. Very handy for Valentine's day. Guess I should update my decorative scheme this weekend.
Your berry wreath is beautiful!
Gorgeous! Got to love a multi-purpose wreath...
I just put up the tree yesterday- love how you re-use your wreath- and it looks lovely.
I really like the berry wreath! I made a quick Advent wreath today, but it isn't picture worthy. I just needed something quick and easy with my daughter's little hands getting into everything...no long candles this year.
