Fresh Herb Wreath


                                                                  
                                                             Welcome!


                                                             Fall!

                                The leaves on the trees are turning ....a cool brisk air....
                                          boots...sweaters....jeans....scarves......


                                                       

                                               Time to clean up the vegetable garden or
                                                                 did you plant in containers...

                                      Well I had an abundance of Lemon Thyme and
                                                                Rosemary.....


                                                    Did you know that if you smell rosemary
                                                       you know run it through your hands that
                                                                         it helps with memory.......


                                                 So I decided to make a fresh herb wreath...
                                                                  Just so I could smell that
                                                                       Rosemary.......


                                                I'm sure any plain form you have on hand will do
                                                               but I had this one on hand.....
                                                                  a tad larger than I wanted but heck it's free right...

                                               
                                                             Just cut your bunches of herbs and tie them...
                                                                          I used fine floral wire.....$store....
                    
                                                                       Then I tied them onto my wreath
                                                                                      using the same wire...
                                                                                  so it doesn't show.......

                                                             You could use lavender in bunches ...sage...
                                                                                with the rosemary and time.....

                                                                                   Oh wouldn't that smell
                                                                                         heavenly.....









                                                                 I haven't hung mine yet but here it is
                                                                               on my sideboard close to the
                                                                                   door so when a breeze come through
                                                                                               heavenly.......

                                     
                                                                      Enjoy you fall day!

                                   Out touring with the 49 ford pick up..........


                                                                     Thanks for stopping by!

  1. I love this idea, Linda. I must see if my lemon thyme is still usable. It sure makes a pretty and nicely scented wreath. Enjoy the weekend.

  2. Your wreath looks lovely and even better that it is scented. Have fun on your tour! It's going to be a beautiful day in our areas. My friend and I are off to Buzzfest in Terra Cotta, Ontario (fine art artisans outdoor event.) I don't plant a garden on our small lot but I do love stocking up at the farmer's markets.

  7. I'm sure the scent from the herb wreath is wafting through your home. I love to touch herbs and even have a little garden sign that says "Please touch the herbs"

  8. Hi Linda
    Somehow I missed this post. It's so funny because I was harvesting herbs the other day to dry for the winter and thought about making a wreath. Now I know how, thanks to your great tutorial!
