I just finished my first project of the season. This particular paper wreath is my own invention made in the same way as the smaller tissue paper wreaths we made in grade school. I have learned that not everyone is familiar with the process, so I will show the method in a later post. (**UPDATE**--How-To is found here.)
My version is made from tissue thin antique encyclopedia pages and makes a dramatic statement because of it's size. I love its ruffly softness and ivory color. Its nod to literature, old books and paper ephemera.
I have also found inspiring paper ideas that I want to try from Jeanne d'Arc Living Magazine.

I love the pretty vintage gift wrappings and ornaments.

I also loved the background of this image before I realized that it is an old chippy tin ceiling tile used in a tablescape. It's shown below as the base of a centerpiece. Can't wait to try it!

I'm still digging out my old ornaments. I have a gold mercury glass string somewhere just like this one to put on display.

I love this simple and elegant pinecone treatment too.

But I think this is the only way I will see a gorgeous snowy winter garden this year!
So many beautiful times ahead. . . .
Have a wonderful weekend!
