Winter is a cozy season, a time to find a good book, a piping hot drink, and a spot beside the fire. I think part of what makes winter so cozy is the whipping winds, the drifts of snow, and those miles of icy land just outside the window. I’ m convinced that if you bundle up occasionally and venture out into that cold world, you’ ll have a keener appreciation for the delicious feeling of snuggling under a blanket.
Most plants and flowers rest during the winter months. But if you go for a tramp through the woods some afternoon with your eyes wide open, you might be surprised at how many evergreens, berries, and even bare twigs you’ ll find to coax into beautiful arrangements indoors. Here’ s a tutorial for a wintery garland to get your creative ideas flowing.
