My wreath on a Budget.

I have a friend Gill, who is an artist with flowers. Every year she helps me make a wreath for Christmas. We sit in her cellar, where she works, drinking hot soup and chatting about how another year has passed making our decorations.  It is one of the loveliest days before Christmas, and I treasure it. 

Up until this year I use fresh roses .. as you can see from last years video .. but this year I’m on a budget so I’ve used Hydrangea’s instead.  Its so beautiful .. even if I do say so myself !



This is the cost breakdown:

Oasis Circle £4
5 x hydreagea’s @ £1.50 each  £7.50
Fresh miniature roses £3.49
Greenery from the garden

Total Cost
£14.99

    Imagine walking up to your door and seeing this glorious wreath. I would hope you would take a long time to open the door so I could soak in the beauty!

If you are reading my blog I must warn you that I am not impartial. I want to influence you. I want to make you stop for just a moment and consider the effect of a lifetime of seemingly insignificant decisions and how making small delicious choices can change the world.

I believe that we can change the world one bite at a time.

It's a delicious revolution.
