A HOLIDAY GREETING

I have a little secret to share with you, I am just not fond of wreaths, for holidays or otherwise.  I used to hang a wreath on my door every year for Christmas because it was the "normal" thing to do.  Then a few years ago I found this inspiration pic and knew that this was the greeting I wanted for my holiday door. 



Sorry I do not know the source of this picture
although I believe it is from Country Living.

I set out to find some cable knit mittens but I just couldn't find any white ones...I did however find some red ones at a thrift store down the street from the office and decided they would be perfect for my little copycat holiday greeting...




I added some "Merry Christmas" ribbon and tucked in a variety of greens, small white flowers and some red berries...I love how this little greeting turned out, don't you?....I know it's a little more whimsical than my inspiration pic, but I absolutely adore this and it is just perfect for my holiday door.

    Hi Sheila- these are adorable! Great idea! I like being different too! I have little space between my door and the storm door and it's hard to put a wreath on because of it. We get such wintery weather that putting it on the outside of the door can be crazy...wind blowing it etc. Very cute!

    I Love it, and I think it's much cuter than the inspiration one. The red color is more cheery. Great copy cat!
