Svend Anderson is organizing a group order of balsam fir Advents wreaths this year. The Advent season’s traditional centerpiece this year can be a genuine beautiful balsam fir wreath, the wonderful scent of which will bring real Christmas spirit into any home. The approximately 20” balsam fir wreath will come with pine cones and cost just $20 if you order before the 8th of November. Candles and accessories can be purchased separately at a later date. Families can make it a fun activity to decorate their Advent wreath and give it that unique touch.

Balsam fir wreaths are not usually available in Vancouver. The fir/pine wreaths usually sold here come from different fir/pine tree species and they do not have that special pine needle scent that is so closely related to the Advent season.

Please go to: www.kulturladen.ca and provide the information in the form on the website and the number of wreaths you would like to order before November the 8th, 2011

Sometimes wordpress eludes me.  It breaks down, or I can’t access the database etc.

So I have to start over.  Soon I will have added enough content to make this useful for everyone.

Sorry about that!
