Nice to "see" you here again-- and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your girlfriend! And well done on the wreath-- really like the natural look of it.

The whole foraging and making decorations from natural materials brought back some fond memories from my childhood. I don't remember us ever buying any kind of greenery; there was also a swampy area in the woods behind our house where we'd cut the long streamers from weeping willows to use as twine; the thicker willow sprigs we used to weave into a rope-like base we'd dry and use for wreaths the following year.
