At least 10 years ago we went to a charity silent auction with friends. I stood guard by this wreath and every time someone wrote down a bid I bid next, ultimately winning it. I’ve never had a wreath that has lasted like this one has, it has not come apart in any way, as faux flower wreaths often do. What makes it sweeter is the friend who invited us to the auction passed away a few years ago, and I always remember him when I display the wreath.
What a beautiful sentiment, and a lovely decoration! When I go to a silent auction, I sketch out a map of the room with notations on where I've left bids...and then stand guard on the one that's most important to me! Seems we're two of a kind!
