Wreaths For Annual Holiday Tour of Homes


  Volunteers and staff of The Moss Pot were busy early this december making wreaths to raise funds for Liverpool's Privateer Days.  The wreaths are displayed on homes entered into the Holiday Tour of Homes and are auctioned off to raise funds for the annual summer event.  We had a great group of talented individuals who expressed unique styling in each of these beautiful creations.



  Styles range from rustic woodland to a more modern stylized wreath, and both traditional and modern colour pallets were used.  To find out more about the Holiday Tour of Homes visit the Privateer Days website here.

Christmas Wreath Workshop




















Our latest workshop, making large Christmas wreaths, was a lot of fun. Pictured here is Ann Langille (Not the shop owner Ann Langille) holding the gorgeous wreath she created with a mixture of Holly, berries, pinecones, and burlap ribbon.  The Green and Gold ribbon adds elegance to this rustic wreath.


























The other two beautiful wreaths were created by Susan Lane. I love the contrast between the bright cheerful coulors of the christmas balls and "Joy" used in the first wreath compared with the soft golds and browns she incorporated into the second. Even with such a small group this workshop was a huge success and we look forward to sharing the evening with the next group of talented participants!
