Rustic Wreaths

Seems the rustic country wreath is the most popular this year.

All natural woodland evergreens gathered locally.

Mossed wreath base decorated with fresh fir branches forming a circle to signify eternity and represent happiness and luck for the coming year.

Each wreath is designed to be hung outside on either your office or home and last well into the New Year.

Rustic Christmas Designs

Happy to be able to stay in my workshop for more than an hour today as the temperature has finally risen here in Brighton to a staggering 6 degrees!

Ploughing on with wreath bases for more traditional rustic designs.

I'll be foraging the countryside at the weekend for pine cones and 'pruning' some of the shrubbery in the gardens of willing friends and neighbours (my own included)!

Lots of orders to fulfil next week, so hoping (and praying) for the weather to be kind!

Out of the Snow

Some of the flowers saved from their frozen buckets in my workshop

Can't continue with wreath designs outside today - the ends of my fingers are numb with the cold!

The survivors are Red Carnations (very hardy), Leucadendron Safari Sunset, Eryngiums and fragrant Eucalyptus (I love the aroma this creates in the room)
