Every season, it happens. I get antsy, want to change up my decor, and then realize I don't have sufficient funds to do what I really want to do. I also feel hindered by the fact that I live in an apartment and don't want to buy too much because a) don't have enough room to store it and b) what works in the apartment may not work later in a house. So, a wreath is an easy, safe, and affordable option to sprucing up the place AND (temporarily) satisfying my decorating urges.
Finding a spring wreath was difficult because most of them were way too expensive and/or cartoon-y. Yes, I understand that spring=Easter in mos
t circles, but I've never been one to do the whole Easter bunny and eggs decor. I want to be able to keep a spring wreath up until Memorial Day without the whole bunnies and chicks vibe. So, when I went out to the stores, I had to turn down about 50% of what I saw because it just wouldn't work. Also, I didn't feel like paying $30 or more.
I went all over town ignoring the voices inside my head that were saying "Go to Target!" Last week I finally found it...in Target. I love it! It's the perfect blend of spring, whimsy, and a bunny. What? Yes, a bunny (I caved a little bit). Specifically, the Trix cereal bunny. Doesn't it look like Trix cereal? I think so. I also love how it has white wicker/grapevine on the back. Which matches perfectly with the wicker table I also have out on the deck.
Ahh. The little things. Now on to spring cleaning and organizing!
