Tomorrow we are meeting at Hawthorn's home to make Christmas wreaths. We have been doing it for years, initially in the Parish Hall but now it is just a much smaller group of friends who bring greenery out of their gardens as well as a contribution towards lunch. I am sure Hawthorn will take some beautiful photographs of our efforts to show on her blog.
Last year I decided on something different. Instead of the usual wreath on the front door I decorated my hanging baskets on either side of the door. I am not sure what I will do this year - possibly do the same again as I liked the way they survived better than the wreath has on previous years possibly because I left the soil in the baskets and pushed a block of Oasis into each which kept moist for weeks.
That is a lovely idea, I think I may snaffle the idea and do the same!

ReplyDeleteI just popped in on the wreath making day to have a look and found a hive of activity; wreaths and greenery everywhere and everyone was having fun, nibbling and cutting and making lovely wreaths.
