Last weekend E.B. and I were doing our weekly shopping at a local grocery store and I saw what I thought was an “ok” wreath for our door for Fall. My very favorite wreath is still in storage and I have been lazy about going out to get our Fall décor, so I thought I would just buy a new one instead.
One thing about wreaths? I looove a wreath with berries on it. I do not know what my obsession with those little berries is about, but I just loved how this wreath had seasonal berries.
I was excited about my purchase until I got it home, was unpacking our bags, and saw it sitting on the table.
Do you SEE the tacky amount of GLUE on this wreath? I cannot believe I came home with this wreath and never noticed this in the store! It was all around the wreath and very noticeable when hanging on the door.
So, I really thought about taking it back and getting my money back, but then I had a moment of inspiration. A few days earlier I had retrieved a piece of our fall décor from my parent’s storage room (yes, I store things all over the place, it would seem) and noticed the wreath would fit perfectly around it!
So, I “put a pumpkin on it”, and the ugly glue is no longer visible.
And I’m pretty happy with the results.

Very creative and it came out awesome! It’s the perfect fall centerpiece.

I would’ve been a little peeved about that too but you made the best of it and the centerpiece looks festive for fall.

Thanks Terra! I still can’t believe I didn’t notice the poor craftsmanship of this wreath! But, I was shopping with the kid and that’s enough to make me somewhat absent-minded sometimes. LOL! Thanks for stopping in!
