The Coeur d'Alene Coop
I managed to get a little yardwork done yesterday and just couldn't compost these gorgeous peony stems. A few spent hydrangea blooms added a nice touch. It was good for my soul to create this. Sure, it's going to fade, but for now, I'm loving it. ❤️Don't overlook the beauty in all seasons. 🍂#thecoeurdalenecoop#fallwreath#naturalwreath#madewithlove ...
