I’ve never been a huge garland girl, but these sweet little autumn garlands from Amanda at Bird for Bread studio are too cute to resist. With the weather seemingly jumping from crisp, clear fall to cold, gray winter overnight, I could use a cheerful seasonal pick-me-up and I think a strand of this would do just that. Each of Amanda’s garlands have six hand-forged leaves made from recycled silver and copper, tea-dyed twine, small wood slices and acorns with tops also made from recycled silver and copper. If you’re looking for an alternative to wreaths, this could be the perfect way to welcome guests into your home. And if door garland isn’t your thing, you could drape it above the mantle, as well (just not too close to the fire because of the wooden slices). Click here to check out Amanda’s garland (also available in mobile form) and shop online. Thanks to Amanda’s studio-mate, Jonathan, for the tip! xo, grace

Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
