My First Love


Fall is here so are my wreaths.

I was at a School Festival yesterday, not expecting to sell much of my stuffs that I decided to bring with me to display that day - BUT I was totally wrong ! I wasn't even completely set-up when people started swarming on my table and already snagging my wreaths and jewelries! I was flabbergasted! It was definitely a good, no, a great day! My lucky star was surely smiling down at me that day...and yes, it was a much needed blessing indeed...all the nights I spent making them till 4am in the wee hours of the morning and being so tired and sleepy the next day at work, was all sooooo worth it!

What was so special about this day too was that hubby was my Cashier. He created this really nifty genius quick cart program for me, so he knows how to work it better than I do! It was a wonderful wife and husband Team while our 4 year old wandered and played with other kids and oblivious to the world. She was in 9th heaven eventhough, her & I were a little sick.

Creating wreaths was my first love before I got involved with jewelry-making. I just love them! After buying wreaths that seem to fall apart after 3 days, not to say expensive, I decided that I'll just make my own which is also worth every penny I spent and will last me years if not for a lifetime. It also turned out that a lot of people liked it which encouraged me to sell them so people can enjoy the same lovely wreaths that I have.

I made sure that my prices are competitive and the quality of each one is incomparable. I have prowled big stores like Target, Michael's and even Garden Ridge for price comparison and quality before I went on to create each pieces I made. I've listed some of my favorite original designs in my etsy store which luckily, two of them already sold out. Some wreaths I have in my stock at home, also sold out during the Festival. This is really encouraging and warms my heart when people buys them and loves them the way I do. Not to say, that it also helps a bit for us in this time of need.

Here is a testimonial from Erin, my Super Etsy Angel , where she talked about the wreath she got from me in her blog. I also snagged the picture to show it off here too! :) I'm so overjoyed that she loves my wreath so much that she actually bought two in a row!

This is the first wreath that adorns their front door now:


And the second one which I recreated from an original design using different materials which she'll get soon and will be a gift for a friend:


Below are some of my buyers' Top Picks :





If you're looking for a wreath to adorn your front door and want to be the first to show off your "fall badge" to your neighbors, and get them envious of your fall adornment - look no further, let me be your wreath fairy! You won't go wrong with me. I'm your best bet for wreaths! I'll ship them wherever you are in the US! :) And since, I'm pretty much sold-out, I will try and re-stock my listing at Etsy this week so please check back.

This is my first love...fall in love with it too and let it grace your home and your door!

"In all these wondrous blessings, I went down on my knees so many times thanking the Lord for opening the gates of blessings for me and my family specially in our time of need and thanked Him for all the people who has supported us by buying my stuffs...thank you...and when everything settles down in my battle ground, I'll come by and spam you all (with comments) and that's a promise! :)

  2. Darn, we're in different parts of the world; I could have a pysical look of your wreaths have we lived near each other. :-( I worry about how much I pay for the toll though. Sometimes it's more expensive than the stuff bought. Still those necklaces of yours are my wishes.

As I continue to post it can be a long, eventful journey before the moving boxes settle and the word Home fits. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family as you go through this transition in your life.

  18. Thank you for the kind words on my blog the other day..I read back some posts and I read the one about your husband and his job. I know your fear...I've lived it. My husband is in IT (Computers...systems) and has been downsized twice..once right before my daughter was born. What a scary time! I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers
