Plow & Hearth Review & Giveaway

Well, spring has sprung! Our trees are in full bloom, the birds are officially back (and making all sorts of noises at  the most early hours in the morning), lawn mowers are buzzing all over the neighborhood, the temperatures have been warmer, spring showers come and go and the flowers are gorgeous! I love spring...and would prefer it to summer any day. I cannot stand the heat and humidity and spring weather is just perfect for me. Another really great reason to love spring is the fact that I have an excuse to re-decorate! HA HA! I love to get out my spring decorations and spruce up the house. It always makes things look brighter and more cheerful after coming out of the drudges of winter. 
If you haven't heard of Plow & Hearth before today then you MUST check them out...especially now. They have a whole line of New For Spring products and no matter what you budget is, they have something for you! Before I continue, I want to tell you more about this fabulous company, which was founded back in 1980 in Virginia...

For this review, I chose to review the All Natural Handcrafted Square Zinnia Wreath for my front door! I have used the same spring door decoration since hubby and I have been married and honestly, it was time for a serious change.
My wreath arrived today and I was immediately impressed with the careful packaging. It comes zip-tied to the bottom of the box and also has a cardboard post in the center of the box to keep the wreath in place should it come unfastened. Once I pulled the wreath out, I was really happy to see that very little of the flowers on the wreath had fallen off...which is always a concern when you are dealing with dried flowers.
This wreath is very well made and is sturdily mounted on a metal frame. The dried flowers seem to be glued and wired on securely and when I flipped the wreath on it's front to attach floral wire to hang it, not too many of the flowers fell off. I love the twigs on the back side!
Next, I hung the wreath on my door. If anything, I wish the wreath had come with a pre-attached hanger so I could hang it straight. I am not good at hanging things up straight and it would have been so much easier to have something already in place to help me with that.
Whoever designed the coloring on this wreath did a super great job. There are just enough bright flowers in just the right places. I love the yellow that pops out and the blue that blends so nicely with the other colors. Symmetry is so important when you do floral arrangements and the symmetrical appearance of this wreath is perfect! As you can see, my door looks SO great for spring! I love the way the wreath is square and looks really classy.

This All Natural Handcrafted Square Zinnia Wreath retails for $69.95 and is simply gorgeous!! You can purchase it directly from Plow & Hearth's website as well.

So, in my opinion, Plow & Hearth is a fabulous company! Packed full of great products, this online store will keep you glued to your computer for HOURS. I love the selections that they are offering for spring decor and had a very hard time figuring out which product I wanted to review. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to add a little "spring" to their home. There is something for everyone!
