  2. Nancy,
    Love this series of videos. It is go generous to give of your time and talent. I’ve done 3 bird house wreaths and can’t wait to see how you attach them. I’ve used pipe cleaners and mushrooms and lots of moss. I’m sure you way will be an eye opener.
    Thanks again…Kitty

        Nancy, I have been making wreath for several years, but love adding the honeysuckle vine and the airy aspect …..they are just beautiful and I’ve enjoyed reading about you. I have never sold any of my wreaths,, just given them to friends and family but I am considering putting a couple in our hardware store to sell. I”m nervous , I think they look good, my girls do also but fearful about pricing . I”m so glad I found your page! Thanks for the inspiration….Harriette

I am sure that with your love of wreath-making and the fact that you have already been practicing will make this transition much easier.

    Thanks Nancy for the free videos. I look forward to the next one. I bought your first Secret Vendor List and would love to have the new one but have recently retired and can’t get one yet. I have been selling my wreaths at craft shows and in my small Beauty Salon but would like to have a web site. That’s another venture that you can probably help me with. Thanks again. Everything you do is beautiful.

    • Nancy says:

      Sue, did you know that once you purchase the Secret Vendor List, you can get updates free? You needed to fill in your name and email on the download page. If you can’t find that, just look for where you paid for it in PayPal, and I’ll be happy to send you the newest one!

      You’re very welcome! Smiles… Nancy

    • Nancy says:
