Who would believe that it is wreath
time again? It felt like it was just yesterday when I was picking my
flowers before the frost. But I love this season too, as Wreaths
are a way to share with the world the beauty of nature and to rejoice
in the Holiday Season. A reminder to be kind to others, ourselves
and to prepare for the long winter sojourn. In my wreaths I use all
natural ingredients, mainly wild crafted or grown on the farm.
Everything is picked and made Fresh.

Swags can make an inexpensive way to
brighten up a dark corner and add some festive cheer, inside and out.

I'm big into Multipurposing. Small
wreaths can be hung on doors and utilized into candle holders during
a special celebration.

The wreaths kept outside to stay cool
and fresh. I also drape with a shade cloth to protect from too much
wind and sun.

Ah, Magnolia leaves. Can it get any
prettier? Actually it can, since the leaf has one velvety brown side
and a green side.

I'm going through a phase where I love
variegated cedar and its gold tones. It is also really great in a garden.
