WREATHMAKING
How to: cut some long pieces of grapevine. Use one to make the size circle you want for your wreath, and secure with some twine or wire. Then simply tuck the end of the next vine into that and start wrapping one vine around the other all the way around. When you run out, stick another one in and keep going.
When it looks done, you can stick marigolds or fall foliage pieces through it and they should stay. Have fun!
last week, design*sponge was in town for their book tour.
it was fitting to welcome them with a southern flora sampler:
while some may think the ingredients weedy, to us they are the prettiest things to be found right now:
sweetgum, chinaberry, and ligustrum…along with beauties like hydrangea, maple leaves, and viburnum.
dahlias are one of my favorite flowers and they amaze me at every stage. i love their symmetry, vibrant colors, and size. any day now the dahlia farm could see their first frost which means we have a long wait for fresh dahlias… hope i can get another visit in!
here is a sampler of the colors and textures in my garden today:
