Late yesterday a beautiful Christmas wreath arrived at our door. It was a gift from my sister, Tara. She knows how much we love wreaths. Years ago when our sons were still living here, we would spend most every Thanksgiving week-end making and selling our own wreaths. The boys would gather the greens, shape them on a form we made and I would make the bows. The boys would sell them to earn their Christmas money. We did this for 12+ years, but since the boys are grown and gone now, that tradition has fallen by the wayside. We haven't had a wreath adorn our front door for several years now, so when this one arrived we were thrilled and it brought back all the memories of those days gone by.
This wreath was hand made in Maine using fresh greens and arrived in perfect condition - still very fresh. The company that makes them is Whitney Wreath. If you want a wreath for yourself or to have sent to someone else, check them out. We highly recommend them. It even comes with a small bell and a brass tag with the year on it. We will keep our bell as an ornament for future Christmas trees.
For us, once the wreath is on the door, the merriment of the season may begin!!
