Yarn Wreath: Doing my part to inspire big brand stores

(*wink*)

I can’t take credit for this wreath quite the way I can for the Ikea light fixture.

All I can take credit for here is buying the vintage yarn wreath, tearing off the ugly ribbon that was on it, and pairing it with a wreath I made from book pages years ago (copied from the Pottery Barn catalog pre-Pinterest thank you very much,) hanging it over my mantle for Christmas 2011, and blogging about it.

That is all I can take credit for.

I still have the wreath, and you better believe I will find a fun way to display it this year. I think last year it was above our bed, but I have no pictures to prove it.

I wish I could remember where I bought it. Most likely an estate sale or a flea market during the shop days. I have been another pom-pom making jaunt again, so maybe I will tie some colorful ones to it in a cluster for variety. I have to think that there are dozens of these handmade wreaths hidden in attics and basements all over the country.  I feel like I even saw instructions for one in a Women’s Day or Family Circle issue of my mothers?

Speaking of my mother, it was she who made the granny-square stockings for us over ten years ago, so if you see those at Urban Outfitters or Land of Nod, you will know who to thank.

 Cheers!
