Christmas, Remembered

I took down the Christmas tree yesterday and instead of tossing the rose hips and fox tail grass that decorated it, I made them into this wreath along with a few of the salted pine cones and some dried tansy.


The result is a wreath that, at least to me, looks more wintry than Christmas and so I can hang it on the living room wall until it is time to switch it out for something that says spring instead of winter.


Linked to Macro Monday.

  3. Thank you, Sunshine and Rain! I had fun making it. :)

    Trina, one summer I made a bunch of weaths for the Mann's. I had almost forgotten about that.

  4. Thank you, Mary. Except for the tansy, which I grow in my herb garden, the materials were all collected from around our property a few weeks before Christmas.
