So beautiful! I love the pressed flower jam jars! Are they attached to the glass? I make a very simple wreath, mostly with ivy that I cut off the shed. There is a beautiful variegation in the leaves, green into yellow, and they range in size from huge hands to tiny stars. My neighbors have a light up wreath and no one else on my street makes one. Mine looks a little scrappy besides theirs, but that’s part of what I love about it!
Wishing you all the very best for this season and beyond, Fiona. I have really enjoyed your posts and notes since discovering Substack (which incidentally, is thanks to your daughter via YouTube!) and look forward to pondering over your creative insights and reflections in the months to come. With gratitude, Amy x
What an interesting read! I didn’t know about the meaning of the flowers you mentioned, I have taken notes and I will use them to convey messages to my family and friends. I wish you , your family and the members of this lovely community a joyful festive period ( hopefully in communion with the wise rhythms of Nature)❄️

I would love it too. Just coat hard with pva glue stick on pressed flowers and seal with more glue. The glue dries clear.
What a brilliant simple way to make something so beautiful!
Your wreath and table are looking beautiful; we do have some holly in the garden, so I might be tempted to go and pick a few springs 🌿
Good for you, you might come over all domestic god!
