Tricks #2 Pete Pete and Repeat

If one small burlap wreath looks pretty 

on the porch,

Then a big one would look great 

on the fireplace screen.

( I started this the evening of craft day

 on Saturday and finished it up last night )

Now I have brought all the burlap 

 from the tree on the porch

 and tied in to the burlap ribbon 

on the family room tree

 with added bling on the ribbon

to go with the matte and gleaming ornaments 

here on this tree

and matches  the living room tree with

 all the mercury glass and glitter

 

which bounces across the room to the other tree

 with mercury glass and black burlap ribbon!

This is second nature to me and

 I barely even think about it now.

The easiest way to explain is to remind you 

to pete pete and repeat.

Pick one or two or more

textures or colors or themes and 

bounce them off each other all over the

house. It can be subtle or grand.

I have birds and nests 

in the living room and upstairs in my bedroom.

I have House of Hatten in red/ green in the den,

and in pink / green in Darling daughter's room.

In son's room, mercury glass and nests and burlap.

Most of you have already done this in selecting 

things that you like year round, be it seashells, 

or ceramics, flowers etc.

I do not sit down and plan to do this a certain way,

I just love mercury glass and burlap and birds and nests

and I tend to make and buy them repeatedly, so 

why not use them for holidays too?

and then just....

Pete Pete and Repeat.
