Since this is our first year in our new townhouse, I knew I wanted to do something different with our front door for the holidays. We have what is known in Kentucky as a Keeneland green front door that was pre-determined by our townhouse association. It’s nothing I can change. Any green Christmas wreath would not show up against it.
I had the locally-owned neighborhood florist make a beautiful boxwood wreath for me. To enhance it, I bought some faux Granny Smith apples to it and attached them with a glue gun. I knew that real apples would be too much of a temptation for the local squirrel population.
I wanted a very simple bow and just added a wired lime-green ribbon in the simplest bow I could make.
The apples and ribbon give it enough color to let passersby know there is a wreath there.
Overall, we are really pleased with the way it looks, and it definitely says Christmas is near.
Take care.

What a pretty wreath.
Thank you for your visit to my blog – it gave me the opportunity to return the visit, and I’ve enjoyed it very much. I especially enjoyed your daughter’s wedding post, as we are planning our daughter’s wedding for May 2012. Lots of fun!
The green apples look so pretty on this wreath! Happy holidays to you both! ♥
PS WOW! Your comments are on the bottom now…did you do this just for me? I was always writing on the wrong post! heehee! ♥♥♥
I like that wreath and yes, the apples are perfect and really make a statement against your door!
Your wreath is so pretty with the green apples on it!
Love your apple bedecked wreath
When I drove by, your front door looked lovely from the street. Good job…
Well I’m always a sucker for a Williamsburg look and your boxwood wreath is a nice nod to the style. Thanks for sharing.
I love it! It looks easy! Two of my favorite things: Easy and Beautiful!
That is just gorgeous! A couple of years ago, I had an evergreen tabletop arrangement made with green applies. I love the combination.
Your wreath is beautiful, the apples look real! I pinned this!

This is such a pretty wreath! I love the green apples, they pop against the dark colored door.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the kind comments!
LOVE it. It’s adorable and shows up so well! I love that it isn’t the typical wreath! Great job!
Come over to my place tomorrow and show it off!

Love the boxwood and apples!
Williamsburg is one of my favorite places to visit
though I have never been there at Christmastime.
Your entry reminds me of something I would see there!
Love it Janette!
I used to put a wooden semi-circle wood frame above the door
of my last colonial style house, and it was covered with lemon
leaves and a pineapple, apples and oranges in an arch pattern,
In order to keep the birds and squirrels from attacking the fruits,
I dipped each in Mop and Glo! It coats them in a protective shiny finish,
it seals them and prevents early rotting, and the animals stay away from them!
Try it! It really works!
