In the nearly 100-degree heat, in front of the cheese shop, sat an old man. In front of him were racks of homemade things, including these wreaths. 4th of July wreaths!
I only got two photos because the man was sitting right THERE. So I had to be sneaky. This one was my favorite, as it could be left up all spring and summer.
Wreath
of the Fourth
Upon
the door it proudly stands, A circle stitched by loving hands. With stripes of
courage, stars of light, It whispers tales of freedom’s fight.
So
let it hang in summer’s breeze, A pledge beneath the swaying trees. Not just
décor, but something more— A silent cheer for what we’re for.

The wreaths feel more like symbols than decorations. I’m so glad you shared this
it’s the little things that say so much
How interesting. I hope he sold some of them. Now I'm curious about whether he makes them or if maybe his wife makes them and he takes them out to sell.
I read Anns comment and I am wondering if someone pays him to sit there because they don't want to. nice poem you found to go perfectly with the wreathes.
They are fun! I hope he sold a bunch!
I love homemade wreaths! These are lovely, Ginny. ~Andrea xoxo
How charming! I like the rooster very much. xoxo
So much time went into making these homemade wreaths. I love how creative some people are. Yes, the red one is cute, with farm fresh eggs. That poem is a very nice too.

Well, I do hope he sold a lot. They look nice.
Lovely wreaths. Hope he sells lots.
These wreaths are so colourful and well made
That’s way too hot! I hope he did well. ❤️
My mind was going everywhere with this....I thought perhaps his wife has physical difficulties so she works on these projects and then he goes out to sell them. Or, is this extra income for them to be able to live. I do hope he sold them all...
They are beautiful, Ginny.
Groovy. Hope he sold some.
Fun to see! A lot of work goes into those pretty decorations.
