Straw Heart Wreath with Tomten
The heart wreath with attached tomten is a festive and cute item. The tomter/nisser figures are very detailed, with fine stitching on their clothes and tiny wooden shoes. It's a very sweet item. We purchased one for our home and then purchased two more as gifts. We love it!
