Memorabilia Wreath

This wreath showcases items from my "dress-up" collection: jewelry, gloves, hankies, etc. It's easy to do; just gather up some related knic knacks and combine them with flowers and ribbons. This wreath used:
 
1 pair woven wicker gloves
1 artist's model doll
assorted bracelets, earrings and necklaces
strings of pearls (Christmas tree garland)
hat and purse ornaments
1 pair kid gloves
lace sachets
sheer ribbon for the hanger and bow
 
If you want to keep your treasures re-usable, wire them onto the wreath instead of gluing. This takes a little longer, but it's worth it if you want to keep these pieces in their original condition.

Window Box

Ever wanted a window box, but didn't have a good place for one on your house? How about a mock one on a shed wall? All you need is a salvaged window frame, a couple of shelf brackets and an oblong planter. Mount the window frame on the wall with screws. Mount the brackets below it so that the top edge of the planter box will wedge up under the window frame. Put the planter box in place, fill with potting soil and plant as desired. For a special touch, add some grapevine around the top and let a morning glory vine or two climb up!
