Handmade patchwork wreathes.

Using lots of natural elements...

Handmade patchwork wreathes hung on a traditional Finnish Cookie Tree.

Though cookies would be yummier, hanging from the tree they are too easy to grab and nibble every time one goes by. Wreathes are easier on the figure.

Most everything on the tree is either handmade or made of natural materials, with a few lovely tarnished brassy accents.

Muslin Snowman faces, 'Candy Sticks' of ribbon and dowels, stuffed burlap hearts, and birch bark star topper.



Burlap hearts , bark pears, twig balls, white painted pine cones, and lovely tarnished brass orbs.
