This old telephone pole wire insulator made a cute lighthouse using the Graphic 45 "By the Sea" papers.  A tea light inside finishes it off.

Graphic 45 Botanical Tea Wooden Spool Wreath

I do love the Graphic 45 papers and the Botanical Tea theme is so lovely.  The papers and tags were perfect for this wooden spool wreath I did in honor of my Mama, Celia and my Aunt Rosemary.  I saw this idea online and loved it!  The older wooden spools came from my Mother-in-law.  Here are my aunt and mama below when they were little girls playing at tea parties and doing all the other things little girls like to do.  They both are beautiful seamstresses and love to do needlework with embroidery and cross stitch.  And they are the best of friends.  A very special thank you to Katie Waltemath for her inspiration of her wooden spools wreath at http://kwaltemathdesigns.blogspot.com/2012/02/graphic-45-design-team-2012-audition.html
