In London this morning, on my way to the supermarket – a five-minute cycle ride – I spotted so many pretty festive wreaths.
Grr, blurry above. I just can’t tell when the stupid viewfinderless camera isn’t focusing where I want it to.
There’s a fine selection of wreaths at Not on the High Street. Too late for this Christmas, of course, but plenty of ideas there for do-it-yourself wreaths for next year, if you’re that way inclined.
And there is a link to how to make a felted ball wreath rather nicer than those being sold online, on the Pickles website, which you can read about it an old post.
This last one reminds me of one I used to have. But on my door this year is a very simple, cheap wreath from Sainsbury’s because last year, on Christmas Eve, ours was stolen. At least at Spring Cottage, that’s not so likely to happen. At least I hope not, so here it is – made from holly and berries from the garden.
Postscript: it turns out that I’m not the only one with a thing for wreaths at this time of year. There are some lovely ones over at Charlotte’s Plot as well.
Very pretty too. I hang my wreath from a hook affair that goes over the top of the door to the inside, so can’t be nicked, and I wire the actual wreath onto it at the curved end, ditto. Hope you have a lovely Christmas, wreath or no wreath!
That’s very sensible. I’ll have to look into that next year.
And happy Christmas to you too. x
There’s something very pleasing about a traditional painted front door decorated with a wreath. They are all lovely.
Have a very happy Christmas, wherever you may be.
And you, Harriet!
