Wreath Recap

 

California is a wonderland of fragrant and colorful materials for winter wreaths, and I had fun making many this season. Here are a few, which incorporated juniper, rose hips, rosemary, and bay . . .

 . . . buckeyes, live oak, cedar, magnolia, fir, more bay . . .

  . . . white pine, fir cones, more buckeyes, more juniper, more live oak and even more bay.

For Grandma On Christmas Eve

Here's the arrangement I made for Grandma, including local Meyer lemons, viburnum, ivy, sharon fern, arum leaves, cedar, acacia, jasmine, choiysia, and "California" ranunculus and freesia.

Hope everyone had a joyous Christmas!
