Hi there! My name is Colette and here is a piece of my story.......My dad (otherwise known to his grandchildren as "Pip") died in 2006. He was adored by his grandchildren. After his passing, his grand daughters, full of love, creativity and energy wished to somehow honour their Pip and keep his memory alive. They decided to hold backyard fashion shows for friends and family as a way to raise money for charity. They called themselves "Pip's Angels". They were a huge hit, however the winter months made it challenging to stage outdoor fashion shows! Because of my father's love of Christmas, my teenage daughters decided to make personalized Christmas ornaments as a way to once again raise money for charity and preserve their Pip's generous spirit. For years, this too was a great success. My three daughters are all nurses and grown now. In 2016, I was in a life alterning accident which limited my ability to read, watch tv, spend time on a computer or manage busy enviroments. This left my tolerable activities limited. While cleaning my basement, I stumbled accross the Christmas ribbon left over from Pip's Angels Ornaments. I was a little sad to see the unused ribbon. I'm not sure what propelled this, but I tired my hand at creating a Christmas wreath. I was hooked. One wreath slowly led to more and the last ribbon from Pip's Angels became the first for True North Wreaths. I have picked up where my daughters left off. Five percent of my sales will be donated to charity. Pip's legacy will continue to live on. Wreath making has become a source of creative therapy and purpose for me. My goal is not to make money making wreaths, but rather to cover my supply costs so that I can continue to feed my inner creativity, contribute to charity and bring enjoyment to those who purchase one of my wreaths.
