berry wreath (not edible!)
oh my lovelies i didnt mean to abandon you like that. its just been a little - let say - hectic with all the travelling (and a mean jet-lag - oh i am just not made for this!). soon i will be back in the kitchen but try to keep you entertained with another centrepiece of the month (which is also the title of a monthly event, hosted by the lovely janelle of talkoftomatoes - check out her gallery).
this month its all about wreaths. with christmas only a couple of weeks ahead of us (i saw the first christmas deco when i was in new york last week, i am not even kiddin'!) i thought this berry wreath would make a wonderful table presentation.
the best thing about it is that it is made with all things free: ivy, some wild berries, rosehips and some (to me unknown..) greens that grow in the forest and are easy to collect on a nice sunday walk. maybe your garden still has something to offer, too? a wreath is not very difficult to make (see instructions here) and the best part about it: it doesnt have to be perfect at all. the wilder, the better!

Love it .... but SO depressing to think that the Christmas spend-fest is upon us before the summer's over! I love the wispy bits - hard to see if they are feathers, or wild clematis - what we call Old Man's Beard

this is beautiful. but christmas is just a bit far and i like it that way.
although more and more they do bring christmas into october in belgium as well ... that's just insane marketing :)
Oh Myriam, this is just the most gorgeous centre piece I've ever seen.

That's really beautiful! But I'm not ready for it to be autumn already :-(
Beautiful...you are so creative! I await fall with eager anticipaton here in the deep south! But must agree with this crazy marketing we hardly enjoy one season before another is thrust upon us
Beautiful! There is nothing like a fresh wreath during the holidays.
