I am so thrilled that so many of you loved the paper wreath!
I got so many emails about how I made it that I am glad that I took some photos during the process.
This idea is not mine.
My friend Lissa had seen it somewhere and sent a picture of it to me because she thought it looked exactly like me!
Thanks Lissa!!!
I went to work right away trying to create one for myself.
I took four different vintage books.
I rolled up the pages in groups of threes and then tied them with twine.
I had quite a pile going and then did more….and more…and then some more.
Once I had rolled and tied all the pages I began hot gluing them to a grapevine wreath.
My son thought I should be tying them to the wreath but that sounded like a little too much work:-)
I am loving how it turned out and it compliments our Christmas decorations perfectly.
I will continue to use it long after the garland and tree have been put away.
Thank you so much for the instructions for your wreath. I love it – and think I might even make one tomorrow!
I am enjoying your blog – I met you, sort of, at Silver Bella. We shared a table in Kaari’s charm bracelet class.
Creative and unique…just like you, friend!

So pretty and Lissa is right. It’s you to a tee:)
Jeanne,
I love that wreath. It was the first thing I saw when I looked and your beautiful and serene Christmas decorations…so lovely. I really love “your look.” It is a true reflection of you.

I think I need to be makin’ myself one of those!
I had to go back and look at all your decor and when I did, I noticed we have the exact same stockings as you guys. Did you get them at Garnet Hill? I love them!
Have a good day Jeanne.
By the way, I am having a giveaway at the backyard blog if your interested.:)
You can use that all year! Looks so vintage perfect I would enjoy looking at that every day.

your wreath is one of my most favorite things i’ve seen this year…without a doubt.
hanging it in front of the mirror only enhances its cool look!
