gingerly: adjective

very cautious or careful

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many of you know that I live in a small apartment which means space is a premium commodity so I have discovered that redecorating the same wreath base means a lot of saved space. One wreath form, and many little bags of embellishments or ribbon to change it out for the seasons.
So this is the summer wreath that has come down:

And yes, I am a matchy kind of decorator, so my wreaths not only tie into the rug at the front door but to the aqua walls in the stairwell.

And my new Fall wreath:

Notice the aqua eyes?

So you can see how I used the summer wreath form to create my little fall owl wreath here in this slide show if you want :)

This is beautiful! I love how you change out the wreath for the different seasons. That is such a good idea to save space!

Brenda said...

I love your wreath!! And I love that you use one wreath base and just change it out! I think you are clever even if you have a smaller storage space! Your owl is adorable and I think it looks fabulous with your rug! I love the beading and the aqua eyes on your owl! He is spooky looking but not scary looking. Love the green/yellow bow too! Thanks for joining us at BBTB2;-)

Awesome idea to change out the embellishments on your wreath and recycling it. I love this owl cut with these branches. Thanks for joining us at BBTB2.

Always enjoy your 3d projects that you have going on. Love this wreath & your idea of changing out the base for each season is a super tip for organized & small spaces (or large ones too, for that matter). Love how you tie in your seasonal themes with the surrounding décor. Thanks for playing along with us at Jo's Autumn FFC this week. TFS & Hugs
