This.
This beautiful piece.
Someone I love is very clever, and she created this beautiful wreath all by herself–bow included. (I know–I was VERY impressed.) She told me about finding the pan on sale a while back and waiting for the right time to make gingerbread in this pan.
But the time didn’t come.
And so she recreated it. She repurposed it. She thought outside the box and figured out a way it could work for her. And what a lovely thing she made when she did. I adore this wreath. Almost as much as I love the one who made it.
I think of how my Daddy talked about us owning our things, not letting them own us–making them work for us and not the other way around.
And this is a lovely example of doing just that.
Wishing you all the inspiration to think outside the box, to recreate and repurpose, and to make spirits bright!
‘Tis the season.
Love to all.
