Wreath

Several months ago I was at a Goodwill store in Tucson and I found a BIG, nice, plain green wreath sitting on a shelf and it was marked down to $3.99! I passed it a few times while looking at other things but I kept going back to it for some odd reason.  I finally decided to buy the wreath and haul it to my house in Chandler.  This monstrous wreath sat on a bed in a spare room for months until I realized that I really needed to do something with it. 


 

Several days after Christmas I walked into Michael's fully expecting all the Christmas decor to be gone but it wasn't!  I found this gigantic bow for $2.00 and knew that the wreath was big enough to accommodate its size so I purchased it with high hopes of adding Christmas ornaments to the bow and wreath.  However, after putting on several ornaments, I decided that I didn't like the look.

 

So back to Michael's to look for "things" that I could add to this monstrous wreath!  I found some pieces to fill in the wreath while keeping with colors that were variations of the pink bow.  So while my husband watched the 500 football games on New Year's Day,  I played with the "things" and decorated the wreath.  I'll leave it up all year because it's too big to store anywhere!  I'm going to put different themed wreaths on each door and leave them up as reminders of the various things happening in each month.  My next project...a Valentine wreath followed by Easter followed by......you get the idea!

Pink and yellow Saturday

I'm joining Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink and Yellow Saturday, and I just happen to have a vintage photo of my mother dressed in pink carrying blue and yellow flowers!  My mother was born in 1914 so I imagine that this photo was taken in the 30's when she was a bridesmaid in a wedding.  I remember her telling me that she was a bridesmaid many, many times before she was an actual bride.

My next pink photo is of my granddaughter, Lily, when she just started to walk.  I don't know if she actually fell or was purposely bending down to look at the object near her right hand!

Lily apparently figured out the whole walking process because she is happily toddling around in her pink bow, tutu and pink shoes!

My son-in-law and 5 year old grandson play golf and I guess that Lily decided to join them one day.  Somehow I don't think that she is allowed to carry the golf ball around, but I'm sure that she made up her own rules.

I love this next photo of Lily.  After a swimming lesson, Lily went home and put on her favorite shoes...pink cowboy boots!  She LOVES these things! 

Join others for Pink Saturday by visiting Beverly at How Sweet the Sound and wish her a very Happy Birthday.
