Christmas Wreaths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Holidays everyone! My family has all chipped in on helping Mom make wreaths. I wish it was always this fun.....


I wanted to let everyone know the kind of November month we have had.....BUSY!!!

I have great support from family and friends, so thank you everyone. My friend Alison is even willing to stand on the side of the road to sell the wreaths. All she needed this day was daisy duke shorts and a hooter's t-shirt. Thank you sweet Alison for the willingness to do whatever it takes to help a friend.

My friend and neighbor Dara have been hanging out alot and getting to know one another. She has started her new craft business Once upon a Cottage. She does wonderful signs with the cutest sayings. She has been a great fan of the wreaths, I think she has purchased four. She claims she did not like wreaths or care much about them until me. I am so thankful.

Okay, so she has brought me a lot of business and we are doing shows together.

This picture is of the Carolina Christmas Show held at the Raleigh Convention Center:
Dara and I will be joining one another at the Greek Church at Westridge and Friendly on Saturday December 6th from 9-3 and that evening we will be showing at Greensboro Academy at six o'clock. Please come out and support us, we would love to see you.

Also, big big big Holiday Show at Dara's House on Sunday December 7th from 2-5. Dara is hosting 13 vendors which includes the Nester!!!!!

Okay, I have some wreaths left...let's decorate Christmas together. Remember, if you like it on this blog, you will love it in person. My camera just does not serve them justice.

Not an exciting blog!

Well, I admit, this has not been an exciting blog to follow at all. I have been crazy busy making wreaths and participating in shows. When I am not doing that, I am caring for my children. All you mothers out there know what it is like to start a project, work, or even try to do something for yourself. Impossible without interruptions when you have little ones. But, we love our children, they are blessings, and we would never want to be without them. So, interruptions are a good thing.
I am finishing up a show tomorrow in Raleigh, NC and will attempt to put whatever wreaths have not sold on etsy and the blog. Please keep the faith that my friend and I will have a great final day!

Last of the Fall Wreaths

Welcome to the pineapple door blog. Thank you for all of my viewers who keep checking back to see if I have created a new post. Life has been crazy these last two weeks, sound like your life. I think it is my life everyday.
Anyway, I have been working on the pineapple door business. Of course, making the last of the Fall wreaths for this year with the remainder of the materials. The exciting news is I am now selling on Etsy. Most of you viewers visit etsy.com all the time, and this is a new website for some of the viewers. The easiest way to find my wreaths is to type in: thepineappledoor and click seller/usernames. That way it will bring you to my etsy shop directly. All of the wreaths will still be posted on this blog. If you are in the triad area of Greensboro, NC then email my contact information or comment on the blog post. And, if you are not local, then please order any of the spectacular wreaths on etsy. I realize the shipping is not ideal on the larger sizes, but I promise you the wreaths are so incredibly wonderful, especially the 34x34 size!

Here is what is left in stock of the Fall Wreaths. If you think they look good in the picture, you will absolutely love them in person. The pictures do not do them any justice.

This wreath is named RED. It's dimensions are: 18x18/priced: $60.00

Small and Full of life. Notice the border of berries on the outside of the wreath. They just give the right touch.
