*Welcome Here
To all who enter, welcome here
The title of this piece is from one of my favorite old Christmas Carols called “Welcome Here”. It’s a cheerful and inviting song. I wanted the wreath to be a beautiful and intricate cut-metal design that appears to come forward and be presented as a symbol of welcome, home and hospitality. The wreath is dominant, but it’s also lacy and airy — almost musical in the repetition of its pattern. I think the contrast of dark rust against her white dress makes an interesting relief. Welcoming friends and family into our homes at any time of year, and particularly the holidays, is a universal joy. Welcome Here celebrates this tradition.
Your Stories 
I received "Welcome Here" for Mother's Day. It was presented to me by my youngest daughter and son-in-law. I found their reasoning for choosing this piece rather touching. They said you have always taught us to have an extra leaf for our table and an extra bed in our house because you never know who may visit. I guess I made an impression. To our family that is hospitality.

I so agree with Lucenda: I grew up as a Federal brat (similar to a Army Brat but civilian). We never stayed in the same place more than 2 years. So to me this piece represents my Grandmother who always had a place for me to come that I knew I was wanted.

I'm married to a retired military husband. We've lived overseas twice, and in seven different states. To our children who are now grown and on their own, coming home never meant to the same childhood address, but to wherever we lived that year. This Willow Tree symbolizes perfectly to me 'Welcome Here', you're home here. Being together means being home.
