Wreath of the Day – By the Numbers
We are always asked how many wreaths we make each year, and we do have the data to answer. This year we sold 257 standard sized wreaths, of which 171 were fully decorated. We also sold 33 large sized wreaths, and another 16 wreaths that were special orders in larger (or in one case smaller) size. We need plenty of advance notice to be able to do that type of ordering, though, if you’re thinking of doing so next year. We also only decorate standard sized wreaths. Additionally, we sold 25 red poinsettias and 35 white poinsettias, and a handful of stand-alone bows. Our customers numbered 193. Although many customers did not specify a bow color with their orders, we had advance requests for 42 red bows, 40 plaid bows, 28 red and gold bows, 19 gold bows, 14 cream bows, 10 silver bows, 4 blue bows, and 2 white bows. We were also fortunate to receive cash donations to help with our mission to save the trees. We hosted over 50 volunteers throughout the week, and a few weren’t even members! So thank you all, customers and volunteers alike. Below is a matched pair which coordinated with a second set of matched pairs, for the front and the back of a Commonwealth Avenue home.
