Valentine Welcome Wreath

                                                  Welcome!

Welcome wreaths are really great.  I began a habit of change involving a little grapevine wreath a couple of years ago.  It is somewhat related to Feng Shui in concept.   It starts with a  plain wreath hung on a wall that is viewed upon entering the house.  Each month I look to the theme for the month to change the decoration.  This month of course it is Valentines and hearts and ribbons.  I work to keep the decorations on the elegant side.  It serves a dual purpose: 1) it serves as a welcome inside decoration that might bring a smile to those entering my home and 2) it reminds me that we live with change and not to ignore it.

                               There you have it!

      A little smile, a little change, a little thing..;)

I like your wreath and agree that they are great.  I have just started getting some wreaths and I bought a new one after christmas and can't wait to hangit.  Maybe I will make one for Easter.  That could be something to do for fun and make my home look more welcoming.  I  always forget the other holidays.  Take care friend.  TerryAnn.
