Unique Christmas holiday 6 inch wreath with Sola sustainable natural wood bark poinsettias and a handmade fabric bow

HOLIDAY SHIPPING: If you are in need of an item before Christmas, please let us know and we will package ASAP and ship same day or next morning.
This wreath and the bow were part of an estate that includes items from their florist and vintage store. This wreath base is lightly painted red on the front, it features a handmade fabric bow and four *Sola wood flowers. Two of the flowers are wood bark poinsettias with hand painted details, the remaining two are raw wood flowers. Flowers are dyed and have a touch of sparkle. The natural wood bark gives it a bit of shabby chic.

The wreath measures a little more than six inches across.



*Sola wood comes from a tapioca plant root called Cassava (a.k.a. manioc, arrowroot, yucca). This woody shrub can be dried down to a powder to create tapioca. Since Cassava is native to tropical climates, it is extremely drought resistant. Sola wood flowers are sustainable and naturally recyclable, the dyes are natural, the white and skin flowers are actual soft wood. Some natural wood flowers often have small rips or tears or natural spots in the wood. Please view photos - these arrangements and bouquets look beautiful and any natural tears are not obvious.

If you see more than one item you like, we will package them together and if there is a savings in shipping we will refund that to you.

A note about our authentication and correctness of descriptions:
We have exercised reasonable effort to describe each item we sell, correctly and accurately. Unless otherwise noted there is no official authentication of our items, authentication comes with a fee, and will mean additional costs. Most of our items that are certified authentic are done so via consignment sales, usually specialized auction companies. We take as many photos as we can to show details of our items, and do our best to describe any flaws.
We know many of our items from estate clearances are "loved," have been used, and will show signs of wear and or storage.

History:

We are back to estate sales in-person, but have decided to keep this store open, too. There will be more local artisan items, like Sola arrangements- during the summer season, we will be back adding more estate items in the fall.

It always amazes us how much some who clear estates, throw away. That means many missed opportunities, estate sales, to us, is the ultimate form of recycling or upcycling.

There's always someone who will match with an item, it's just a matter of making the effort to find the right person and make that match.

We appreciate your interest and business. There are hundreds of items waiting to be posted from small to large, from antique to vintage, from funky to elegant...
Keep checking back!

A personal note about selling on Etsy from our store owner, we put our own store at risk by posting this message, but we have not received answers from Etsy about these concerns:
We are disappointed to see so many items for sale on Etsy that do not comply with Etsy policies. We take Etsy rules and policies seriously and comply them. When items we have to sell do not qualify per Etsy rules and policies, we sell them on other online platforms and in person, we do not and will not violate Etsy policies. Items that are not handmade should not be listed as handmade. Items that are not vintage should not listed as vintage. Examples we see often are the planters we purchase from floral suppliers to use with Sola arrangements, sold here on Etsy by other sellers as handmade or vintage planters. This is unfair to those who make similar items by hand. It is impossible for artists to compete with factory-made.
Please, if you see something listed as handmade or vintage, that you suspect is imported and or factory made, ask the seller to clarify, and report the item to Etsy.
Help us keep Etsy honest and true to it's advertising.
