This sweet idea for a simple, handmade apple wreath comes all the way from Sweden. It's a great way to use up the not-so perfect apples that fall from your tree or get rolled across the floor by your toddler, right out of the grocery sack. And, of course, I luh-uv any decor item that I don't have to find storage for at the end of the season.

I am anxious to hear all about your Homes and Gardens and everything in between. So please come in and share your ideas and thoughts with me in the comments below.
