Announcement    "There are no straight lines in nature."

Fresh evergreen wreaths will start to appear in my shop around the middle of November. Weather permitting, I usually start collecting the greenery around November 10th. I hope to have wreaths listed the week of Thanksgiving. Availability is always limited and I usually sell out, so order yours early!


Shying away from any dyes or preservatives, my dried flowers are mostly locally grown or foraged. This naturally primitive feel has become a signature look for me. Some of the bunches are strictly ornamental while others are not so pretty, but have useful applications.
My focus is on the raw, useful or unusual and not on weddings or more formal applications. There are, luckily, plenty of shops who do specialize in wedding work.

Expect quantity and availability of all the dried flowers to change quickly. I keep a live inventory in my shop, adding items as they are available, but all of the flowers can sell quickly. A live inventory indicates that you are seeing an" up to the day" account of what is currently available. Your item might have a slight delay if it is not entirely dry and ready to ship. This usually only means a few days. I will not ship fresh items or items that are not completely dried.
It is not uncommon for things to completely sell out in the winter months.

What makes my wreaths unique is that most of them start from the seed itself. I use materials that I plant, grow and harvest myself. Foraging and harvesting the dried flowers is an ongoing daily task. In some cases, this activity takes longer than the actual wreath construction! You can expect the quantities available to change rapidly. On average, each bunch of dried flowers/herbs is about 10 stems....closer to 20 stems with smaller blooms...and slightly less with larger items. I do my best to give you the specifics in each item's description.
The wreaths are listed as each one is completed. This prevents me from overselling...or over anticipating a harvest.
