Pretty Paper Wreaths

Recently I mentioned how I was thinking that a couple of paper book page wreaths would look pretty on my newly painted shutters.  I shared some inspiration pictures on that post here.  I did find one (or I should say two) on Etsy that suited my budget and the look I was going for. 

I purchased two like this one pictured above from Roseflower48.  The above picture is from Rita’s Etsy shop as it is a nice close-up.  Isn’t it pretty?  And she had a listing for a pair as well, which worked out great since I wanted one for each shutter.

I am thrilled with this look for right now, but can easily see hanging two of those preserved boxwood wreaths from these shutters during the holidays.  Like this one I found on Etsy.

One of the things I love about the shutters is that it is easy to hang things off them using a clothespin clipped onto one of the louvers.  Easy on and easy off!

I even tried out these scrap fabric posey bag thingies I made.  I photographed these for my Etsy before I fixed the coloring/waxes on the shutters.

The cloth handle makes them easy to hang off the shutters.

  They also hang off a drawer nicely, too.  I have two of these in my Etsy.  Meanwhile, I am loving the look of my new book page wreaths on my newly painted shutters!

Frigid temps heading our way for tomorrow and the next few days. I’m hoping this isn’t a preview of what’s to come!
