What do PB and LaVyrle Spencer have in common?

What do you suppose Pottery Barn and LaVyrle Spencer have in common? Hmmm??




I just got my PB catalog yesterday and as I was paging through it I saw these wreaths that I liked.



I went through the masses of books my husband and I have and found one that I really didn't value and would never look at again. (Sorry, romance novels don't hold a lot of interest for me.) So I started ripping out pages and rolling cones. I cut out a cardboard circle and used my hot glue gun to make a wreath.



I think it will hang in one of my kitchen windows. I hung it against a wall so you could see it better. I am thinking about using spray adhesive and glitter to add a little bling, but haven't decided yet. What do you think, glitter or no glitter?



Ssshhhh, don't tell anyone. It almost makes me want snow...

  9. Very creative! You could make and sell them on Etsy! I'm just addicted to Etsy these days. ;)
    Glitter or no glitter? I think either way. If you did some, use it sparingly. Maybe it look like your wreath was kissed with a bit of frost!

  10. This looks great. I love the way it looks in the window with the light shining through. I'm not a huge glitter fan so I vote for no glitter but I think it would look great either way.
