This wreath is adorable and is a happy alternative to my old traditional one.  The ribbon edges are a tiny bit frayed but I think it adds to the charm of the wreath.  You can't help but smile when you come up to it!  The carrot noses bend sideways and do not stick straight out which protects them.  I just hung it on my door (which is under an overhang) so don't know how it will hold up through the years but for this year it's just great! (Must find a white hook to blend in with my door tho.) I would not hang this exposed to all elements as I think the white faces would get dirty.  It arrived promptly and in excellent condition.  Thanks Wayfair!
