A simple grapevine wreath for the season

For years, I've wanted a wreath on my front door. I have no idea why it took me so long to act on that.

I also knew I wanted it to be kind of an all-winter wreath not just for Christmas.

Here it is on the patio for Thanksgiving, with the pumpkins in the planters. And the falling leaves on the ground.

And here it is with Christmas trees in the pots and leaves still on the ground.  (If you think this is a lot of leaves, you should see the yard- it is never ending around here)

I wanted glitter on the simple, grapevine wreath, but I was afraid the weather would wear it away. So, I sprayed it generously with glitter spray paint, and while wet, I doused it with glitter and mica flakes, then did that again.  Hopefully, some of it will hang out through the winter storms.

I've wired on some tiny red ornaments to look like berries, and blue ones to look like eggs in the nest.  The birds are vintage ones, painted white and clipped on.  I'm not sure if they will withstand the ice and snow or now. I guess I'll see, huh?

PS- Lots of newbie Christmas goodies are coming into the Boutique and the Etsy shop!
