Wreath Earrings, Hand Made in Dark Green Thread, Needle Tatted
Details
Even the tiny red bows on these charming Christmas earrings are tatted! These hand made lace earrings, in the shape of a Christmas wreath, are pretty, very light weight and the perfect small accessory to wear during the Christmas Season. In the traditional Christmas colors of dark green and red, they are great little trinkets to subtly display your Christmas spirit. They may not be as flashy as a lit up tie, reindeer antlers or the traditional ugly Christmas sweater, but people are sure to notice them. I hand tatted these earrings in a 100% cotton thread, in a dark green tone. Tatting is one of the methods of lace-making, and the "pecots" give the wreathes the lacy look of evergreen needles. I added tiny red seed beads, in "clumps" of three, to represent miniature holly berries, and the hand tatted red bow completes the look. I originally tried different methods of adding a bow, but ribbon was just too large - just not the right size in proportion to the tiny wreath. A bow made out of just thread lacked the needed stiffness and bulk. I hadn't seen any patterns for tatted bows, but after a few attempts attained what seemed to be a good count on the double stitches to make it just the right size. They are a little finicky to make, and each one is unique, and they complete the look of the wreath. I have made some wreathes without the bow, if you prefer them that way.
These wreathes won't shed needles, don't need to be tossed at the end of the season and will actually last season after season! They are small enough to give as stocking stuffers, and so light to wear. If you purchase a pair for yourself for that Christmas office party you will barely realize you've had them on all day.
I make these wreath earrings in assorted green tones, so choose the one you like best. If you don't see a listing in my shop for a green tone you like, contact me and I'm sure we can find the perfect color for you, or for your intended recipient. Even if you prefer these wreathes in non-traditional colors, just let me know what you would like. The beads and bows can also be made in different colors. To contact me just click the light blue "contact this seller" button on the bottom of this page and let me know your thoughts or questions. I'll be sure to get back to you right away.
These earrings are made with a silver tone metal that is hypoallergenic and nickel-free. But if you would prefer a gold-tone, more of a burnished bronze tone, or even sterling silver let me know. Sterling is obviously going to cost more, but I can easily make a pair at no extra cost with one of the other metals.
Christmas season is right around the corner, and before you know it will be upon us. Be adventuresome, and dare to wear (or give away) a pair of wreathes!

And, even if you do not want or have a PayPal account you can still use PayPal to pay via credit card. If you are having trouble making a payment, please contact me. If payment has not been received within 72 hours the item(s) will be re-listed unless other arrangements have been made.
Shipping:
I ship first class within 1-3 business days from receipt of payment, unless it is a custom order. Your purchase will be packed with the utmost of care and I do try to recycle and reuse as much as I can. The item(s) will be shipped via USPS within the United States or to Canada, unless you contact me with your preferred shipping provider.
If you are in another country, and would like to purchase an item, or items, from my shop, contact me, and I will calculate postage for you. If you are willing to pay the postage I calculate, I will add shipping to your country on the item(s) you wish to purchase. Most recently I have shipped to the United Kingdom. The package arrived in nine days, just to give you an idea of timing.
Custom Orders:
If there is an item you see in my shop that you would like in another color, etc, contact me. I welcome custom orders. If I can make what you want with supplies I have on hand, I will not require a deposit. I will e-mail you pictures of the item(s) when it is done, and will list it if you like it. It will be shipped after you pay.
I love creating new items as well, so feel free to contact me with your request. If I will have to purchase supplies to make what you want, then I will need a deposit for the cost of supplies.

If for some reason beyond my control I am unable to finish your order, any deposit you have made will certainly be refunded.
Custom orders ship within 7-14 business days, depending upon how much time is involved in making it. A different color of similar items I have in stock takes much less time than an original design.

Reviews
I cannot recommend Wendy and her family highly enough! Wendy's tatted items look beautiful in the photos, but my earrings that came which she custom made to my size requirement are just gorgeous! I will enjoy wearing this lightweight and lovely design over and over, I'm sure. Just exquisite work and quality!
My wooden spatula made by David, Wendy's 13-year-old son, is fantastic! It has a thicker handle than some of my spatulas and that makes it so much easier to hold and grip with my stiff arthritic hand...what a blessing! And the quality is top-notch as well. Obviously is quite committed to providing quality designs, just like his mother.
My many communications with Wendy regarding my order prior to purchase and then throughout purchase and receipt were exceptionally pleasant! It is obvious the Wright Family are interested in taking good care of their customers, as well as providing beautifully crafted items of the highest quality. I could not be happier and hope to order more "stuff" from the Wrights in the future!
Wendy, I LOVE the earrings. Can't wait to wear them. Thanks so much!
This handmade wooden spatula is all that I had hoped for. It's both lovely and functional. The grain is beautiful and the unique labor intensive sanding process makes for a satiny smooth surface. I like the extra touch of the leather hanging loop. I just used it for the first to saute garlic and olive oil and the design fits beautifully in my hand. Thank you for a special product, exceptional customer service, careful packaging and fast shipping.
