Our First Christmas Giveaway - Fresh Holiday Wreaths!

Today we have a BEAUTIFUL giveaway to help you get ready for Christmas.  Our friends at Wreaths of Maine have generously donated TWO of their gorgeous, fresh Blueberry Wreaths! Each wreath is 23" in diameter, made of double-faced Balsam fir, with white and Austrian pine cones, baby's breath, Maine wild blueberries, and a blue bow (retail value, $42).


Wreaths of Maine is a mail order wreath company.  It was started in 1992 by a homeschooling family in Greenville, ME.  Every autumn hundreds of fund-raising homeschoolers across the U.S. use their sales kits, with their colorful brochure, and take orders for wreaths, earning a commission of $6 for each one. The orders are sent to Maine for processing and then, depending on the date the customer chooses, a fresh, Maine wreath is shipped directly to their door. 

These wreaths are made from the aromatic green, balsam fir, known for its “traditional Christmas tree smell.”  Each one comes decorated and wrapped in waxy tissue paper to retain it’s freshness, in a box with a bow.  The majority (90%) of their wreaths are sold by homeschoolers. 
If you would like to order a wreath, visit their website, or if you are interested in selling wreaths, visit their fundraising page.

  12. I have several favorite smells. :) But the way I have always picked a Christmas tree IS the smell! My family always lovingly teases me, as I smell each tree they pick out to see if it has enough smell. lol

  22. I LOVE the smell of Christmas trees, unfortunately we have an artificial tree, and since we have a bird, I can't burn scented candles anymore, so I just have to enjoy the smell when I walk by the real trees at the grocery store! :) mommyramblings at gmail
