I must admit I am very….ummm….feeble….in the holiday decorating department in
my booth. I keep it to a minimum and tend to integrate things that can be used
after the season is over.
I use recycled items when I can so it mostly comes down to what I have on
hand. A few years ago I came across a daycare center that was replacing
their windows and there were stacks of them - free for the taking. (I’m still
working on that stash.)
This one is in it’s second life. Four years ago, I (with help) built a
cold-frame so I could start seeds earlier in the Spring. It served me for 4
summers but this year the glass and cross bars were falling out so I took it
apart. Removed the innards and bleached the beautifully weathered frame.
I intended to attach chicken wire to make a note board / message center but
the roll was 2” too narrow. Now what? I was going to staple the inside of
the frame.
I started to do this but I found that the wire could be stretched
far enough to be stapled to the back of the frame. Perfect!
The berry wreath would be my way a Christmas-izing it!
See. Feeble!

Love your redo's lots of fun stuff...thank you for the sweet comment....
And yet another life for that old frame. I really like it. I put chicken wire in the frame of a mirror from an old dresser. (Don't know what ever happened to the dresser.) But now the frame is my bulletin board.
