WREATH HAPPY

In my last post, I told you how I wish I'd made more book page wreaths, because each one I took to my last show sold.  Well, I'm a little wreath happy right now.



I've made more heart shaped wreaths.  I've already sold a couple on Etsy.




I'm also making round wreaths, and, adding a bit of age and color.




Various sizes, and, colors.













Having fun on this chilly weekend.

They're all available in my Etsy shop.  If you miss one, I'm working on more.

      Patty, the book pages I use, are from books that are damaged, missing pages, etc. They're also not classic works. I wouldn't destroy a valuable book. I've been an antique dealer for decades. Not all of the books are antique either. I have ways of aging them.

      I'm glad you like them. BTW, my fingers are fine. LOL

    Hey, I love these. Couldn't you use the tiny ones for these crow collars I'm seeing on a lot of blog posts for Halloween?

    You know me Rosemary, paper happy over here, and these book wreaths are great. I could see a tree filled with them as ornaments. I can also see why you sell out, they have such a authentic charm about them.
