Easy DIY with Rhubarb leaves



 Rhubarb leaves are so plentiful in the garden at the moment. You may look at them and think, well, they're too big to use in an arrangement.





 You can roll them up like when you're making a sushi wrap, then use green wool to bind.








 Use purple floral dye in the water, or mix red and blue food colouring into the water.





 Add a faux or fresh Dahlia, and voila! A 10 minute masterpiece!





 Looks like some exotic tropical leaf, but it's just Rhubarb.




 So much texture, it'll be interesting to see the leaves change after they soak up the purple dye.

Decorating for Christmas, The Camellia, Thunder Bay, On


Decorate your Light fixtures. Easy enough with all the realistic looking flowers and vines we carry here at The Camellia.









This light fixture has dried magnolia leaves, a branch of bendable twig, a stem of glitzy berries and black and white checked taffeta ribbon. We just received some fab new ribbons!





My house is in a sad state of neglect - too busy at this time of year designing and decorating clients houses. Well, back to the trenches ...trying to uncover my kitchen countertops..! and of course, the battle with the piles of mail... not to mention I've barely started my Gift shopping, cards, well........ they will all have to be e-cards.....
