 |
| This is my "new" Victorian Heart Wreath. It is not really new, I made it many years ago....but I love to take something old and breathe new life into it! |
 |
| This is how my wreath looked when I dug it out of a cabinet in the studio this morning. Not bad, but kind of dated.... |
 |
| To work on the wreath, I first hung it on a large brass easel that I like to use. The easel puts the wreath at eye level and I can see all around it. I like to work in the kitchen because the lighting is wonderful. I have an electrical plug in on the side of the hoosier for my glue gun and I can put all the goodies that I am going to add to the wreath on the nearby island. |
 |
| I added some pretty pink roses.... |
 |
| Beautiful Victorian ladies.... |
 |
| Lots of ruffled white and pink lace.... |
 |
| You can barely see a green velvet tussie mussie tucked in between the two lovely ladies.... |
 |
| I added a brooch that I made to the top of a pink lace heart ..... |
 |
| a pretty draw string satin purse.... |
 |
 |
| I love my new wreath! |
 |
 |
| Now, I need to find a place to hang it....I am thinking maybe over the fireplace in the family room, or over the sofa in the sun room....or maybe in front of the big mirror in the entry way..... http://sewmanyways.blogspot.com/2014/02/sew-darn-crafty-linky-partyfebruary.html http://sewmanyways.blogspot.com/2014/02/sew-darn-crafty-linky-partyfebruary.html http://www.gingersnapcrafts.com/2014/01/wow-me-wednesday-139.html http://www.sweetsillysara.com/2014/01/tell-me-about-it-tuesday-3.html http://www.timewashed.com/2014/01/blissful-whites-wednesday_29.html http://www.creationsbykara.com/2014/01/valentines-day-linky-party.html/ http://ivyandelephants.blogspot.com/2014/01/that-personal-touch.html http://polkadotsonparade.blogspot.com/2014/01/wow-me-wednesday-130.html http://www.housewivesofriverton.com/2014/01/riverton-housewives-round-up-98.html http://www.tillysnest.com/2014/01/down-home-blog-hopnumber-73-diy-wedding.html?

I love all the elements you have woven into your wreath to give it just the right look for your spot.
ReplyDeleteHow do I love thee, oh wreath, let me count the ways! How beautiful and creative. I remember those wreaths from way back. There were other things, ovals, with scented rose petals inside..things like that. You were smart to have saved it. A friend sold them in her Country store. I have no idea where my items disappeared to. Probably Goodwill...*sigh* Wish I had saved it.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I am crazy about that stained glass window!
ReplyDeleteOh wow Penny this is so beautiful :) thanks for sharing at Creative Mondays...
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely! I love the wreaths and the whole house. And the details are just exquisite. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love this wreath! I really like the pink and white lace. Beautiful!
