Dried Flowers + Gifts

dried celosia (cock's comb) and a few sprigs from the Christmas tree
I just finished up the last of wrapping gifts with a little Harry Potter movie-thon on the TV and the tree plugged in...glowing oh so radiant on this cloudy day.

I decided to get a little sassy and add some dried flowers to a few special packages.

A few gifts I wrapped with cut brown paper bags from the grocery store.  I think this a great way to recycle these bags and you don't have to spend your hard earned funds on wrapping paper that literally just gets ripped to shreds.

So for next year do a little planning....

Squirrel away a few brown paper bags from your various shopping outings.

Grab a few bunches of flowers from the Farmers Market to dry (here I used craspedia (yellow) and celosia (red) but I grow a ton of options!).

Throw in a little natural twine and you'll have the most festive gifts under the tree!

    Any present you purchase should be special but material gifts lack opulence and lavishness. A new shirt or pair of pants is not special but rather boring and practical.https://giftsmarket.co/retirement-gifts-for-men/

    There are unequivocal formative occasions which are best for cutting blossoms for drying. This can be quite certain for various plants or even various cultivators of a similar plant. All in all, it is ideal to pick juvenile blossoms (ones that are not totally open) since blossoms keep on opening during the drying cycle. On the off chance that you pick a bloom at the time that it looks great, it will keep on opening while at the same time drying, leaving you with a blossom past that 'wonderful stage.online flowers

    I find that it is ideal to gather flowers in the cooler piece of the day like in the early morning after the dew has vanished, or late evening. rose teddy
