why is everything sooo expensive?

I love Fall!  So in my need to start embracing the change of season

I went to Michaels to get a peek at some of the fall foliage.

One of the wreaths had a price tag of $69.00!  Please!!

I am not a professional floral designer but I knew I could

produce a lovely design without heavy cost.

I hope you like it.  It was fun, relaxing and cheap.

I had to get the 3.00 plaque at Ross's since I

was in their neck of the woods.  I know it's a bit early for the Halloween

thing but it was just too cute to pass up.

A tangled Web of Grapevine

Hubby has been felling trees.  This results in a tangled mass of
grap-vine.  I've always refused to buy grape-vine as it's too easy
too come by naturally.

A snip here and a bit of weaving in and out .... voila!!

I've been focused on my grand-darlings room.  It's a small room so I decided
to make some small wreaths along with the standard size and paint a couple of them
White.

This little Darling will get a white coat as well.

This is my back door wreath left in her natural coat.
The sticks you see resting along side are going to be walking Sticks.
I have too many things I want to do!!

 I wanted to
post these cut dollar tree birds.  I am going to rough them
up but for now they are sporting their new paint.
I want to purchase several more to embellish the larger grape-vine wreaths for a spring effect.

I know I keep promising to show you all the finished projects but I can't help but at least share some of the unfinished ideas.  Maybe some of you can come up with some awesome uses for the grape-vine too.
