I have a bountiful collection of wreaths in natural materials that I love to bring out every year. Less fond am I of the fake green wreaths so these manage to stem the tide of evergreen needles all about the house drying, browning and generally looking bedraggled. How I would love to say- I made these glorious things-but they are all made by a company called Salzburg Creations.
Some I have had for years-the clove wreath and topiary covered in gold fastenings that hold the spikes. The clove fragrance is still as fresh as it was five years ago when they first decked the halls. Baroque bows in yards of green taffeta, olive, ikat and velvets embellish the wreaths.
I tie all the bows hoping no two are exactly alike-rather than striving for perfection and uniformity each one has the feeling of just being tied.

I just love these intimate glimpses of your house as it is lived in everyday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - but more than anything, jealous of all your bookshelves!
ReplyDeleteDear Gaye, your home and the wreaths are beautiful. I wonder if I can get a gold Salzburg Creations wreath in London? They're much nicer than the green ones xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous bow on the Salzburg Collection wreath - I love it. Gaye, you and Courtney at SC are getting me in the holiday spirit. Lovely, and so fun to peek at your books! ; )

ReplyDeletequintessence- I have to say I love them too. I still have lots of room for more.
christina- thank you, Salzburg should be in London somewhere. here in the states- places like bergdorf goodman carry them, maybe Harrods?
barbara- glad to help. the clove wreath and trees are so easy and pleasing to pull out for instant holiday. Glad to get you in the spirit a bit.
