I recently placed a custom order with Marion Humphreys (4Hala on Etsy<\/a>) for seasonal wreaths to go in the rotating roombox. I sent Marion pictures of my scenes and links to other wreaths in her store that I liked. She made two for each season so I could pick the ones I liked best. These are the four I selected. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

At my request, they’re only about .75″ wide, which is smaller than most of the other half scale wreaths I saw in her store. To my eyes, this is the size that looks “right” on the door. I cut off the wires that came with them and glued the wreaths to the window crosspieces. <\/p>\n

For spring I requested purple flowers to complement the flowers in the planter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I also placed an order with Barbara Ann Meyer<\/a> for critters to go in the roombox. The spring scene got a female cardinal, a robin, and a bunny.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The robin is perched on the nest that Debora (dalesq on the Greenleaf forum) made for me in a swap.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And the bunny is behind the bush, hiding from the cat. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I asked for the summer wreath to include browns to evoke a hot, dry feeling (like the brown spots in the grass).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I ordered the wreaths before I bought the umbrella drink<\/a>, but the pink flowers happen to match! I made a little table to hold the drink by cutting down the legs<\/a> on a 3D printed stool I had left over from the Artist’s Cottage<\/a> (I’d bought four and only used three of them).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The colors of the autumn wreath fit perfectly with the fallen leaves. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This crow is another Barbara Meyer purchase. I love how he’s standing up on wire legs. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For now he’s stuck there with wax, but I’ll probably glue him down when I finish the window (I’m planning to add leaves to the top of it).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The red and gold balls on the winter wreath are tiny and perfect. Considering how small these are, Marion did a really great job making them to scale.<\/p>\n
