Handmade Wreaths

Hello and thanks for coming over

I wanted to show you these beautiful hand woven wreaths I came across at a Garage Sale. 

I fell in love with their simplicity, but doubly fell in love once the owner of the house told me how she makes them each year from a Creeper which she cuts back every year that covers her Pergola.

Gosh, I’m fairly sure she said it was a Wisteria, come on all you Garden experts, does that sound right, do Wisteria’s have extra long flexible branches with gorgeous little random curly tendrils?

I bought 4 from her, I’m not completely sure where and how to display them; so far one is hanging at the side of our stairway, I attached my little birdie just for fun.

Update:

Tony has claimed 2 to put in his Shop, they look great, I forgot to take my camera, but will get some pics tomorrow

In the meantime:

I’ve been continuing my roll of finding treasures to revamp

Here’s the B4

What a clever lady... it does look like Wisteria. I'd like to see one of the wreaths with a couple of starfish on it for a beachy look.
Another gorgeous painted project Gail.

Hi Gail, the wreaths look lovely and I like how you sat a bird on it too. I think it looks great hanging near your staircase. Love your painting too.. simply gorgeous! take care, Maryann

Hey there ... I believe that is grapevine ... I have a couple of them myself ... wisteria doesnt have the tendrils like that ... the little curly cues... grape vine does...

I absolutely adore the makeover on that little treasure you found ... totally amazing!! your roses are so so gorgeous ...
Kudos to you for another job well done and then some!

HUGS ~ JO
