I’ve shared before my love of wreaths.
Must be the southerner in me. Got a door, gotta hang a wreath on it. And gotta change that wreath with every season.
My fallish Halloween front porch features no less than three festive handmade wreaths. It’s a big front porch.
Including this one I whipped up over the weekend.
I just used a black wreath form and embellished it with some awesome skeleton ribbon I bought from New River Pottery in Wilmington, N.C. (You could probably spray paint a Christmas wreath black to get the same effect.) Some purple glittery foliage (leftover from last year’s Halloween decorations), some glittered skeletons and a foam skull make for a spooky wreath indeed.
I’m calling this the ‘Til Death Do Us Part Wreath because I think it looks like the two hanging skeletons went to the gallows together. And I think the one on the left looks feminine, while the one on the right looks like a dude. (I watch a lot of “Bones,” so I’m sure my forensic analysis is correct.) This was not exactly the honeymoon this pair were expecting, I’m sure.
I’ll be back tomorrow — I hope — with some more fall and Halloween decor.
The Southern Bloggers Conference is coming up at the end of this week, and as a committee member, I’m busy tending to last-minute details. Frenzy. Rush. Rush Rush.
But oh so much fun!
I cannot wait for Friday to get here. It’s going to be an amazing conference. I can’t wait to finally meet some bloggy friends in person and to meet some new ones. And the sessions promise to be so informative
A VERY few tickets are still available. So, why don’t you come out and join us?
Don’t miss my other fall decor: my Halloween rocks, my fall mantel and my fall tablescape.
Hey …Wilmington, NC …that’s where our businesses are! Small world, isn’t it?
And I love New River Pottery, especially now when the Christmas Decorations are being put out! We just got a Hobby Lobby last month, too! (It’s front of Independence Mall) …anyhow, your wreath is SO cute! Love the touches of purple!
Can’t wait for the conference this weekend! Thanks to you and all the other ladies who worked so hard to put it together!

When I was there, they were just starting to put out Christmas at New River. I’m sure the completed display is fabulous!
Can’t wait for this weekend either! Cannot believe the date is almost here.

What a cute wreath! Or maybe cute isn’t the right word when talking about hanging skeletons, but… Whatever. Love it!
Amy, Thanks so much for the sweet comment on my Conference post, I really had a blast and loved meeting everyone. I felt like I was hanging out with people who really just “got” me and it was great. Wonderful meeting you! -April
Hi Amie,
It was nice to meet you at the Southern bloggers Conference and congrats to you and all the others that put on a great event. Jane and I really enjoyed it. I’m now a big fan of Atta girl.
