One of the things I inherited from my mom was the love of nature and gardening. For as long as I can remember my mother would put together simple flower arrangements during the holidays using evergreens and dried seed pods which she had collected during the summer and then spray painted with gold paint. Dried seed pods are beautiful as they are.
When you give them a coat of gold spray paint they look even more elegant.
Making arrangements with evergreens is very easy. Talk a walk in the woods and collect some greens.
Gather several bowls, some frogs to hold the stems and a pair of clippers.
In no time at all you will have several beautiful arrangements to place around your house.
Fill the house with the scent of evergreens.
Bring a little bit of the outside indoors to enjoy.
