About The Wreaths
Wreaths are not just for Christmas! Celebrate special events with a baby wreath, birthday wreath, Valentine wreath, Easter wreath, patriotic wreath, Halloween wreath, autumn wreath, Hanukkah wreath, or any other occasion or theme you can think of.
Each wreath is one-of-a-kind; no two are alike. Depending on size and complexity, a wreath will take between 8-30 hours to construct. All have several vintage ornaments incorporated into the final design. “Total vintage” wreaths may have as many as 30-50 vintage ornaments of varying sizes. All wreaths are completely finished front and back and are ready to hang. Since most wreaths contain glass ornaments, they are not suitable for use on doors or outside, but should be displayed on stable surfaces such as an inside wall or table away from direct sunlight. (The exceptions are the wreaths constructed with plastic ornaments; these are designated as such.)
