Do you ever make something with the intention to sell it and just really want to keep it for yourself when it is all done? That happened to me this weekend when I made this sweet little banner and wreath. Plus they both go so perfectly on my old shabby door, like they were meant to hang there! What do you think?
This coming week at the college I work for is Homecoming. One of the festivities is called Taste of the Harvest where wineries have samples of their wines, people bring goods to sell and there are a lot of other activities. My mother-in-law is going to have a booth and I am going to sell a few of my things there. This banner and wreath is going to be for sale...unless I end up just keeping it for myself!
Of course I hope it sells so I can make some money, but if it doesn't, I know exactly where they will hang in my house! I also made a few more banners of different kinds and if I have time, I might make a few more wreaths.
I am loving the colors I used for these. The chipboard shapes are a nice ivory color so I made felt roses using sandstone, white and antique white felt. The pearls really make it perfect!
I covered a wreath form in burlap and it is rustic and imperfect, but I love it! These colors together make my heart happy. They are simple but so crisp and beautiful.
Maybe it will sell, maybe it won't. Either way, I had fun making them and I would be happy either way!
My birthday was on Friday and it was a pretty good day. Although I had to work, I had a fun day anyway. My co-workers brought me coffee, muffins, chocolates, wine and took me to lunch. Cody took me out to dinner and bought me this amazing bed set. He knows me so well! I absolutely love all things Paris and this bed set is so perfect for me. Once I get my bedroom totally done, I will be sure to share it with you!
Have a great week!

Happy belated birthday, Trisha! Sounds like you had a fun day! Love your new tres chic beadspread:) Your wreath and banner are awesome! I have a feeling they will sell right away. So that will be a good excuse to make them again, this time for yourself!
love the wreath.. THat is so different to do with burlaps other than doing scarecrows and etc..
Happy Birthday, Trisha! I love your projects...the sale sounds fun! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Both are adorable, they will both sell at taste of harvest, the colors are perfect. I bet you already do this, I price it high and if it sells..OK...If not OK!

No wonder you want to keep the wreath and banner, they are SO cute! Maybe you could sell these and use the money to buy more burlap!! :)
Happy Birthday! I'm visiting from Brenda's and I just love your blog!!

What a pretty banner and wreath! Great textures with the burlap, felt and pearls....blissful!! My feelings on selling my own creations are much the same! I kind of want to keep everything! I figure if it sells, great! If not, I will decorate at home with whatever doesn't sell - happy either way!! : ) (By the way, you are just so beautiful and photogenic!!)
