Regular readers know that I have a favorite place to look for bargains...our downstairs trash area! Our building has trash chutes on every floor, and they feed into a separate room, but for boxes and other things that people can't put in the chute, there is an area (indoor) near the loading dock where people can put the things they don't want. I've found quite a few cool items over the last few years.
This has to be one of my favorite finds. Went down there to throw some stuff away and do my normal reconnaissance run and didn't have a chance to miss this!! A decorative wreath wrapped in some plastic and just tossed into the top of the dumpster. I snatched it up in the blink of an eye. I checked it over, expecting to find it broken or missing some flowers...
Nope! It is in perfect shape! It incredibly detailed with lots of color all around it. Greenery with reds, oranges, yellows, rusts and even little white flowers.
Here it is, temporarily hanging on the door so I could get a picture. Seeing it hanging up, it's definitely an Autumn/Fall wreath. Our only guess is that someone had it for the Fall, they moved and decided not to take it with them? Oh well, their loss and our win!
We can't WAIT to have it on the new front door at the farm next October/November! One less thing to buy for future decorating needs, ha.
What a great find! The wreath is beautiful with all the Fall colors. It also has lots of textures with the berries and Fall leaves.
