Drying foliage/flowers for arrangements

                   

A few of the wreaths Ive made this month... O have been amazed how many people wanted them. My classes were fabulous and I really enjoyed them.

I would start collecting much earlier next year - cones and things were hidden under fallen leaves etc - Rosehips stored reasonably well cut and left in buckets if water in the shed. I did buy the glycerin but didnt get around to it. Will look at all and start harvesting things with berries and crabs when they are fresh and store in the dark for next year.
Some small apples wrapped in newspapers did last. 

I will look at willow rings next year and give those a go depending on price. Getting foliage for big groups was really very time consuming.
