My husband made this crown of thorns from the vine cut from our bouganvillia vine (growing on the arbor by our front door in the courtyard. This vignette is on display every Easter, it is in a niche between the dining room and family room. If you look closely, you can also see a big flat nail on top of the old family bible.
