Isn't it just perfect? Lesley makes these from 100% post-consumer recycled cardstock. I fell in love with the birds, of course, and the gorgeous colors. This is just what my living room needed for Thanksgiving.
They aren't at all costly {12.00} and fold flat and is easy to store, so that you can change over to another one of her house garlands for the next season.
I picked the very last of the hydrangeas in the garden, and since they had already dried on the plants outside, just popped them in two matching glass containers. I love that the Popcorn Hydrangeas turned dark brown! A simple bow of vintage Chocolate Brown Grossgrain Ribbon is all that was needed to make these beautiful.

Oh Erin, it is such a pleasure to visit you! I am hoping perhaps there will be a better answer to the problem over there. sigh....I hate to see beautiful landscape marred.
Love the banner and dried hydrangeas are among my favorite things.

Like Jane, I, too, have seen many banners but my heart went pitter-pat when I saw yours...so I flew on over to "the meadow" and bought one (and a few other treasures) for myself! Thank you the heads-up and the photo of your beautiful mantle.
