Wreaths

Christmas Chalet
Sometimes I live vicariously though my clients.  This lucky wreath gets to spend the holiday season perched above a fireplace of a chalet in Collingwood.  Sigh…

Indulgence
I had been itching to make this wreath for three years now.  The first year the oasis forms got lost in the chaos, last year a November baby kept me busy enough I hardly noticed Christmas at all, but finally this year, -this year I got to indulge myself.

All In A Days Work



Big Hit
This seems to be what everyone is going with this year.  It’s big, it’s fuffy, and apparently it looks like Christmas.

Caesar’s Crown
I fully embraced the golden pine cone in this arrangement, and I love the outcome. Definitely a conversation piece.


White Christmas

Purple Christmas
This arrangement is so much fun!  Purple kale, purple eucalyptus, blue toned greens, topped with white birch poles, -oh la la!

Borrowed Ideas

They say plagiarism is the best form of flattery…
Above is my take on something I saw in Gardening Life Magazine (December /09)
 
Driving home I always admire the planter parked out front of one of my favorite kitchen stores and wanted to give a go at re-creating it.
