It was time to change my wreath from the forsythias of spring to the seashells of summer.
To create my summer wreath, I used a wreath that I have reused quite a bit, some scrap burlap, a glue gun and gorgeous seashells found on my local beach.

Here she is.

Needing a bit of color, I attached three buoy ornaments found at The Christmas Tree Shop last season for real cheap.

I feel it is missing something but I like it.
