This is a series for the holidays that will focus on several small businesses and/or people who make quality, handmade or locally produced items. I asked friends to ask their friends if they knew anyone who fit the bill, and the responses I received were wonderful. I want to share the beautiful and quality creations of people in my community and life. I’d like to encourage others to consider purchasing these amazing gifts for the holidays instead of mass-produced and low-quality products at mass retailers.

All these handmade items have a story and smart, passionate people behind them. The first post is about Seneca Hills, an Etsy store where a dear friend sells wreaths, t-shirts, block print-stamped napkins, onsies, pillows, and other crafty items. While I love all of her work, her holidays wreaths are stunning and will be highlighted here.

There are currently two main styles available, but custom orders are accepted. The wreaths are made from burlap and feature different accents like ribbons, pine cones, ornaments and other seasonal decorations. Some of the personalized wreaths have even included things like initials and short phrases – perfect for your front door!

There are several items available for sale. Most are custom orders (just reach out via her Etsy page), but she also has the following available for purchase:

Southern Charm – A soft, refined look for a seasonal wreath, complete with gold and white ribbons and magnolia flowers. (See it on Etsy or Ebay)

The wreaths below are all ones that have been made and sold – which means you can order one and have it customized to your tastes!

I think these would make a great holiday gift – for someone else or even for yourself. Also, be sure to check out the other great items she has over on her Seneca Hills Etsy page.
