and the time spent shopping for them, and collecting nice newer ones is time also spent

and, most of all, remember - handcrafted items are just that, time and care are put into them, made by hand, not a machine ;)

***my note regarding ornaments used:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Collecting vintage ornaments is fun, but it is hard to collect enough to completely finish off a wreath.  I try to use as many vintage pieces as I can, and fill in with newer pieces to complete the look.  I try to make sure that the vintage ones are more featured and newer will fill in or be the background pieces.

I have also recently tried to keep track of the ratio on each wreath so you know what's included (the number can be off by a little, when you're creating, you just go with the flow and sometimes loose track LOL!)

on this one, I counted approx 81 total ornaments and pieces

of the 81, approx. 62 of them are vintage pieces

that's 77% vintage on this wreath (I try my best to keep it about 50%!  I far exceeded that with this one!)

^^^^^^^^^^^DISPLAY AND STORAGE CARE NOTES:

Due to the fragility of glass ornaments, vintage or new, I ONLY recommend them for indoor use, they are not meant for outdoor use.

STORE WITH CARE--extreme temperature (like in the attic or garage) can cause both the glue and glass to shrink and expand and this can cause ornaments to crack, pop off, or break off.  If an ornament does come off, you can easily put it back on with a hot temperature glue gun.^^^^^^^^^^^

the measurements of the finished wreath are about:

15" diameter

and 4 1/4" deep

Remember that this is a handmade item, and will show things like maybe glue strands, or other things that happen during the process...these are the kind of qualities that make handmade items unique - All true handmade items are one of a kind due to the process of each individual that makes them ;)  THE VINTAGE ORNAMENTS:  They may have scratches, oxidation spots, and fading from years of use. THIS ALL ADDS TO THE VINTAGE CHARM OF THESE PIECES!
