Grapevine Trimmings WREATH

Grapevine Trimmings WREATH

This wreath is a classic with class.  A grapevine wreath is so simple but yet so beautiful.  In my opinion it's just as stylish with or without a bow.
Just recently I was spring cleaning my garden when it came time to trim my grape arbors.  Often I just burn the trimmings but this time I decided to make a wreath.  Patience is necessary to make this wreath - with each trimming you just gently wind around a circle or oval and secure the end around the back of the wreath.  Keep adding trimmings until you reach your desired width.

Make a bow using crepe paper ribbon 
(or any ribbon of your choice)

Secure the ribbon to the wreath and the wreath to the door.

WELCOME!

Features From The Toledo Museum of Art #23

Features From My Visit to: The Toledo Museum of Art - #23

TMA (Toledo Museum of Art) is one of my favorite places in Toledo, Ohio.  I first visited this beautiful museum when I was in high school in Canada.  I grew up in the Windsor area and I was privileged to go to a high school with an advanced art program.  We actually visited the TMA twice throughout my high school career.  I had no idea when I was a teenager that I would actually marry an American and then settle in the Toledo area!  I now visit my favorite museum once a year.

I will be featuring a few pieces from the TMA each month.


“Young Lady with a Bird and a Dog”
(Oil on canvas)

John Singleton Copely (American 1738-1815)

My photo of this painting does not do the real colors justice - in reality the colors are deeper and more royal (not so orange tinged).
My favorite part of this painting is the dedication shown by the beautiful dog.

This masterpiece is best described by the write-up pasted from "The Toledo Museum of Art" website: 
"Painted as a showpiece to send to a London exhibition, this painting demonstrates John Singleton Copley’s special attention to the details of props and furnishings. His portraits often created an impression of high social position, incorporating elements traditionally included in portraits of British nobility, such as the column and draped curtain. Likewise, an oriental rug, a fashionable Chippendale chair, and an exotic pet like a parrot suggested a wealthy and cultured lifestyle."

ENJOY!

Christmas at the Manor House

Christmas at the Manor House

I wanted to post these "Christmas-themed" pictures before December 25th buth the third party photo service that I use had a breakdown.  However, I always keep my Christmas decorations up through New Years Day, therefore this post can still be enjoyed now.
This Manor House was built in 1936 by a wealthy family who made their riches from a spark plug company.  This mansion became a museum in 1970 and every December they decorate each room with a different theme (I have featured 8 different styles).
ENJOY!
