Metamorphosis Monday - Pine Cone Wreath

From a grove filled with pine cones,
wired to a wire frame...
smaller cones on top...
add some ribbon and pumpkins...
my pine cone wreath! Very similar to the ones I used to make with my grandmother.

  4. Karen, that just looks stunning! I remember making one of these for my mother years ago, and it takes some work (my hands hurt for days). So I know what goes into this. It's a labor of love, and it's perfect on your door.

    Happy Met Monday...

    XO,
