Holiday Wreaths 2015 and past...

Store bought wreaths just cannot compare to the beauty and uniqueness of making them with your own hands. These all start with going out and cutting fresh greens from around the farm. Then we head back to the craft barn and they are put together. With so many different types of trees, bushes, pine cones, etc...they are always different, no matter how many times we make them. 
Scroll all the way down to see wreaths from past years as well as the current year.
