Details or Sample:
Food has always played a major role in our holiday festivities. Christmas dinner is a thought that will set mouths to watering, weeks in advance, and who can resist the temptation of holiday cookies, pies, and puddings? Many would claim that, without these yummy treats, Christmas just wouldn´t be the same.
This holiday season, however, it´s time to put some delicious treats to work doing something even more fun. "What can be more fun than teasing the taste buds," you might ask? Simple! Not only will these tasty fall fruits look good enough to eat, but they can also help to decorate your home in ways that you have never thought possible.
We all think about hanging garlands of strung popcorn on our trees and candy canes, but for some interesting tree ornaments, this year, why not try alternating some elegant pinecones along with slices of dried orange? The oranges bring a warm orange shade to your tree, coupled with beautiful natural patterns and nearly-translucent centers. Hung on a tree, orange slices can be just as beautiful as any store-bought ornament.
Looking for a unique warm and welcoming centerpiece for your table? A simple yet cozy look can be achieved by arranging plump kumquats, clove-studded oranges, evergreen branches, some pine cones and seeded eucalyptus into 3 baskets of varying sizes. Once you have arranged the baskets, gently yet firmly stack one atop the other, going from largest up to smallest. In the top basket, carefully arrange a simple pillar candle (white or ivory looks beautiful in this display). The different colors mix beautifully in this arrangement and it creates a wonderfully warm display for a very affordable price.
