Christmas Day has passed but the front porch wreath will remain in place till Epiphany in January. After hanging the wreath early in December, I decided it needed updating - the small shiny red ornament accents were not so shiny anymore and the big red and green plaid bow seemed tired. The hobby stores were displaying all sorts of sparkly Whoville-type trimmings and decorations so I chose a few and added them to the traditional spruce wreath. I especially like the glittery message that greets anyone who comes to the door - JOY!
So of course, while I was perusing the floral department in the hobby store, I discovered some stems in the same silvery color scheme as the wreath updates. These were added to the existing arrangements on both sides of the front door. I love how the contemporary shimmer of silver complements the traditional green/ red of the pine and berry sprays!
