*The first artist you'll get to meet is Emily Meyer!  Here she is:


Hello everyone!  My name is Emily Meyer and I'm the owner of Wreaths By Emma Ruth.  I started my business just about 2 years ago, shortly after my son was born.  After he was born I became a stay at home Mom but did not know how to sit still.  My creative mind would not stop and so I began working on wreaths.  I must confess, my first wreath was a disaster!  After a few, I got the hang of my style and what I wanted my wreaths to look like.  I love different textures and colors and try to mix and match combinations that you would not typically think of.  I offer yarn wreaths and I also make yarn letters.  Here are a few of my favorite wreaths and letters I have done in the past:






Here are a few of the wreaths that will be at the open house: 




You can see MANY more of the wreaths (each one is unique!) that Emily will have for sale in this awesome facebook album.  There's even a Hawkeye wreath and Christmas wreaths!  

Be sure to like her facebook page while you're there so you can see her updates!

*Emily has generously offered a giveaway for the open house!  Don't forget to put your name in the drawing when you come this weekend. The winner will receive 10 of these fun glass magnets like pictured below! 

Thanks for your generosity, Emily!

You can find Emily at her Wreaths by Emma Ruth Facebook page, her Etsy Shop or her email, emilymeyer87@hotmail.com.




Come back tomorrow for another artist introduction and giveaway reveal!
