What a great wreath. I saw this on Work it Wednesday. Thanks for sharing it!
Great patriotic wreaths! My favorite is the one with the flag swagger across on the diagonal and the big, blue star. But, really, all of these wreaths are super-cute for the season.
I love these types of wreaths. I’ve seen a few around my neighborhood, but this is a new twist I like much better!
