True confession: I’ve never sold anything I’ve made. I hope that still isn’t true after the upcoming Dear Santa show at Sage Farm. I’ve got a small collection of Christmas wreaths about to make their public debut.

Have a look!

We’re so excited about our first blog giveaway!

We got out the glue gun and made a wreath with some vintage Christmas goodies. And it could be yours! All yours! Who doesn’t love a Christmas present?
