Hi, I am Hallie Sue Wells and I would like to introduce myself and welcome you to my Etsy Shop, Sisters Floral and Gift. I offer exceptional handmade wreath designs to give your home a fresh breath of new beauty and style while welcoming your family, friends and guests.

I have recently retired after a twenty five year rewarding Nursing career. At first, I felt as though I were losing my own personal identity but soon realized that there was much more in life that I wanted to do. Sometimes we girls just wanna Have Fun! Doing what we love! Doing what God has given us talent to do!

I had already been creating wreaths and floral arrangements for friends and co-workers who were very complimentary and encouraged me to start doing it as a business. I would place a beautiful wreath of the season on our Hospital Unit to cheer up the staff and patient’s families since all of our reasons for being there were not always pleasant. Soon even the patient’s families wanted to buy my wreaths. Not only did I have the reward of taking care of their loved ones but also an added compliment to my creativity!

My love for design began many years ago before I became a Nurse. Once upon a time, soon after high school I became a Hair Stylist, just like my Mom (what a combination, huh). That allowed me to use and show off my creative talents with new hair styles and color. Having a Salon in my own home I also had the privilege of being at home with my three children, who are now grown and I am so proud of.

Growing up as one of four Air Force “brats”, I mean children; We had the good fortune of living in many different areas of the U.S. and Japan. (Needless to say I “disliked” every move we made at the time.) Now I wish we could go back and do it again and be with our parents again who both passed away several years ago of cancer. Who I might add were very talented in their own right. My Mom took floral design classes in Japan, loved to paint and made gorgeous quilts. Dad liked to whittle out cute little birds and was always making something besides being a trophy winning skeet shooter and fisherman. They both had too many talents to name!

Now, I can say I am inspired by all of the wonders I’ve seen, from the gorgeous blue grass hills of my old Kentucky home to the Beauty of the majestic Magnolia trees, the sweetness of Gardenia blooms and white sands of the Florida beaches with their emerald waters where we lived most of our younger years between moves. I remember the colorful elegance of the silky oriental designed Kimonos of the Geisha Girls with their bright delicate umbrellas surrounded by the unique architecture of the Japanese Tea Houses and Gardens of Japan. Remembering all of this, who wouldn’t be inspired! See, I told you this started a long time ago.

I am now a Grandma of four wonderful Grandchildren,(three handsome young men and one beautiful young lady). After nine moves in my life I now live in the little Historic Town of Newburgh, Indiana just across the Ohio River not far from where I started. Newburgh is full of quaint little shops, antique stores, delicious Cafés and friendly people and I love it!

I have sold my wreaths and arrangements in one of those quaint gift shops here in Newburgh for a time and have been doing many upscale craft shows all over the tri-state area with my sister Linda, who makes Beautiful Reborn Dolls among other crafty creations which you may see in our shop from time to time. Of course you can guess where the name “Sisters Floral and Gift” originated.

We have been featured in Cedarhurst Center for the Arts Magazine and helped in decorating The Historic Reitz Home Museum in Evansville, Indiana for their Christmas tours. My designs have been featured in other area venues from political banquets to honoring our fallen heroes in Law Enforcement and in home and office decorating.

Now, launching a new venture or should I say adventure by having an Etsy Shop I have the perfect opportunity to create more handmade designs especially with your unique style in mind! Browse my shop often to see new designs and special offers or make a request for a custom made creation just for you. My wreaths are made of quality materials and with great attention to detail.

Thank you so much for stopping by Sisters Floral and Gift! Come back soon!
Have a Great Day!
Hallie Sue
