I have seen some examples of pretty little valentine shaped herb wreaths on Pinterest and I thought it would be fun to make one to put in the kitchen for Valentines Day.
For the greenery I used rosemary and lavender from the garden, perfect as they both dry well and smell wonderful, but there are lots of other choices...boxwood, lambs ears, sage or thyme for example.
Now to work...
I cut some stems, made a little heart shape wreath form out of construction wire and fastened the herbs onto the form with very fine craft wire. For a little embellishment I added some red fabric roses and a red ribbon to hang the wreath from.
Voila!
Very simple and very easy.
I hung it on the door of the corner cabinet in my kitchen. This is where I display some of my smaller crystal and silver pieces. My father made the leaded glass door for me.
Now when I walk into the kitchen I notice the slight fragrance of the herbs.
Just a subtle and nice way to celebrate Valentines Day.
Wishing you lots of love and romance in your life all the days of the year.
Thank you for visiting
That is pretty. I never knew anyone that would do that. I do now. You.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines back. I was so hoping I would have got a Valentine baby 50 years back my daughter.
Feb 18. Dang it.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou make it seem so simple that I believe I could make one. Your header is exquisite. Sometimes a photo makes me wish to 'walk in' and your header does just that.

ReplyDeletelooks great and i bet the smell is wonderful. Love lavender and Rosemary. I can always tell when the dogs have been in the rosemary bush and lavender.
Have a wonderful weekend.

What special leaded glass doors to have from your father. Your wreath is just lovely. I'm sure it smells heavenly.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet and perfect here in SoCal cause there is always something growing well in the garden this time of year.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Adrienne - I guess it doesn't only look good but also smells delicious. How sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice project for Valentine's Day. I am sure it must smell wonderful. And what a treasure the glass door your father made must be. Belated Happy Valentine's wishes to you Adrienne!
