Good Greens for Friends!


Every year I raid my yard for whatever evergreens I can find to make simple but fun arrangements that I can put all over my home and give to my friends.


you will need...


whatever evergreens are handy, here I have cypress, juniper and fir...


I like to use mason jars...

...and some festive wired ribbon


clean the stems...

arrange in the jar

add the ribbon

then place around your home.

Soon to come....how I used these on the DR table for a festive scape!

***Addendum!
If you do not have greens in your yard, go to the tree lots and ask for what they have trimmed from the trees...they will give it to you for no charge!

  2. My garden is still too young, I cannot wait until I can go out and pick enough to make an arrangement. Looks wonderful. Ax
