This edition we have a spotlight on the mega trend: wreaths! With designs for every season, home owners and store owners are decorating their entrances with Halloween themes, spring and easter wreaths and of course festive designs. We can’t get enough of them and have dedicated three pages for the trend! Followed closely by another four pages of part two of our Christmas special with festive products either to make and gift or to make and proudly display.
Enjoy the run up to Christmas!
Keep warm,
