Come to Kruse Christmas Farm on November 26 and 27 and choose from a wide selection of Samantha’s beautiful evergreen decorating creations.
Remember that PILE of greenery? Yeah… it’s doubled now. 😳 Spruce boughs have arrived, time to get to work!
And man, it’s work. Every wreath, porch pot, arrangement, etc. that leaves the shop is 100% created by me, a one-mama-show. Containers, frames, pinecones, pretty accents & supplies are purchased and organized for months ahead of time. Greenery is cut, gathered, loaded into a trailer, hauled home, unloaded, brought into the shed, and then trimmed to size for each wreath and porch pot- utilizing every last bit.
But trust me- every minute I spend is because I absolutely LOVE doing it. ALL of it. My heart and soul go into each piece, each order, each class. And as much as completed order cancellations or no-shows can discourage a person, they are certainly outweighed by the joy these creations bring to those who love them as much as I do!
So, please have patience and bear with me this season- it’s going to be a crazy one! And, the same goes for any other small business hustling this holiday season- bear with them. Support them. Sure, maybe it’s more convenient or cheaper to purchase something “unique” at a big box store, but just one small business purchase can make a big difference to the people behind them.
