And then I hate taking it all down again, I feel the house looks "sad" with all of it's finery gone. Last year I made mats and a wreath for our table..I loved it and wanted the table to stay looking like this forever.
Well I don't live on my own and the family insisted that by the end of January the Christmas decorations needed to come down. So I decided to make "non Christmas" decorations. I would make a seasonal wreath for the table centre. The first season was the season of love and so the Heart Wreath was made.
Then I decided to make non specific wreaths, ones that have no season, to be used on your table, on a wall or on a door. One of my favourites was the Night Owl wreath.
Obviously many still consider wreaths a Christmas item so this year for my Etsy shop and Limerick Craft and Design I decided to make loads of Christmas ones with snowmen and gingerbread and trees but also a range of "Not Just for Christmas" decorations which includes wreaths and tree hanging decorations. I am not suggesting keeping a christmas tree up all year long but many of us have a large plant or a bundle of twigs that can be prettified. I also like hanging decorations on netting or muslin tied to a bed post. In fact these were one of the most popular sellers I had in the pop up shop in Clifden this summer.

that's a great idea for the table centre piece. And I love the apples!!! You could hang them in your kitchen all year round too.
