Snowman Winter Wreath


I made this simple wreath today with a wreath that was destined for a yard sale this fall, and a bunch of dollar store snowmen that I had collected over the years and wasn't using anymore. 

I added a few recycled jingle bells and some pine cones I had found on the ground during a summer picnic.

Fall on the Wall

I saved some glass jugs that once upon a time were filled with Sangria (hic!), and trimmed some branches from my maple trees for a quick and zero cost outdoor decoration.



I set out two more on the side table and I'm waiting to see how long they'll last because Canadian Thanksgiving is this Sunday, and I'd like to have them as part of my dining room decor.

I love fall so much, but the changing of the leaves needs to last longer than it does, because it's just so spectacular and stunning.  I love the smell of dying crisp leaves and the rustling sound they make when you walk through them.

I will say that they break my back to rake them up, though.  That is some serious pain!
