It’s the beginning of November. Time to start making wreaths, STAT! We’ve already had a half a dozen or so ordered and we will be shipping them before Thanksgiving! It is still a wonder to me that the Christmas season starts so early for some people. But it’s good for us.
I know Lisa has a crew working in the wreath room today and will until we open the shop (on Nov 22nd.). She may even be going beyond that and working the wreath room up until Thanksgiving. I know we have a lot to make. Wreaths are one of those fun and wonderful things that are so festive. And some people might have a fake tree, but a real wreath or centerpiece. I guess because they are a bit easier to care for and already decorated so nicely.
My mom told me a funny thing the other day. She said she actually still had here wreath from last year! She lives in California in the city so doesn’t have that wonderful fresh tree smell at all. So she was saving the wreath and letting it dry so she could then take the needles and make a little sachet out of it and keep that fresh green smell with her all year long. It’s just taken so long for it to dry out. Amazing!! And I thought that was a great idea.
