Kathy, I don’t know, I haven’t tried that, but I think it would work. It sounds like a beautiful idea!

This not a comment but a question for you..I want to put a grapevine wreath in my chandelier for decoration. If I cut it will it come apart?

Hi, Dave. I don’t do anything to mine and they last and last! The easiest way to dust them is with a feather duster.

Dear Suzanne,

I was wondering if you could recommend or suggest a way to preserve natural grapevine wreaths (dried grapevines, pinecones, nuts) and the best way to clean them periodically to remove dust. We plan to hang a couple on the walls in our great room. I don’t have any experience with wreathes and would appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks,

Ha!!!!
That was what I thought about doing last Sunday while you were here! But then Joey had his tantrum….and I forgot.
Maybe this week.

i love your blog….you are my parralel universe. I’ve had many of the same experiences and even have the slanted house to prove it. The grapevine adventure reminded me of my own wreathe making outing last fall. It is a blast living here on the farm in KY with sheep. I don’t have cousins living near by but great neighbors. I’m putting you on my favorite blogs list! I’ll certainly be back

I made about 25 grapevine wreaths this past autumn. Then the snow fell in mid Nov and I never did get them decorated. Not even for Christmas! I was quite dissappointed in myself for being so lazy and not, at least, getting a Christmas wreath finished. This year I will decorate all of them and sell some too, I hope. So many things to do and not nearly enough time!

I am officially inspired! What a great gift these will make for our family & friends for part of their holiday treats.

We (hubby & I) live on 20 acres in northern Michigan so the grapevine is abundant. Today is harvesting day!!!!!!

Thanks for the idea, and great photos!!

Wild grapes make the best jelly! Tart, not to sweet with ‘real flavor’. We’ve got an abundant ‘crop’ around here this year, so I got to just make a batch of jelly. Your wreaths are lovely!
