My favourite is the bells. They are lovely! We get a lot of rain, wind, and snow here so it's not safe to have anything like your bells hanging outside. In fact I have to make sure the front door wreath is good and sturdy or it will blow off and land in someone's yard. I would love to live in a place where there is no wind! Or snow for that matter.

Another huge windstorm swept through last week upending pots filled with plants and dirt, breaking branches of roses and other in-ground plants. I tried a wreath at the entry to our steps last year. I suspect it ended up in Albania or Algiers! I'll enjoy them on your blog!! :-)Jackie and Joel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074129927177165084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-40225555514303500922018-12-04T18:59:17.061-08:002018-12-04T18:59:17.061-08:00Carol, you have such a great eye, no matter the se...Carol, you have such a great eye, no matter the season.
