Burlap Hydrangea Grape Vines Wreath

Wreath of Celebration

I celebrated my completion of radiation treatments Wednesday with a burst of energy. I felt giddy with relief and well being. I will admit to shedding a few happy tears too. Did 3 loads of laundry, decided to remove a ton of dust and cobwebs from one room, hauled a small carpet outside for cleaning. 

Picked tomatoes with dear GS. He picked a bouquet of dahlias while cutting back the ones that were 'finished'. I pulled the finished bean and tomato plants. Such a pleasure to spend a bit of time in the garden.

After supper I decided decorating a wreath would be a way to mark the completion of this time period in my life.

Used 3 grape vine wreaths (had on hand)

Burlap from the bolt I bought at the market

Dried hydrangea from 2 autumns ago

Wire cut from the roll in the shed

Safety pins from my thrifted stash
Added a small banner the next morning and moved the wreath to my front door.

Added dried hydrangea from my living room bouquets. It was time for them to serve another purpose.

Wove the stems in with the grape vines, added burlap ties (using pins to attach).

My wreath project echos so many other bloggers who are posting 'shop the house/no additional cost' projects.

And a special surprise arrived at my door, from my dear sister and brother in law...

Thank you for the feature
