Wreath making

Today was also my last day of work for the season.  I hired my friend to help carry a 7 foot christmas tree back to the garden to set up in a stand... 

Sam did so well in the garden.  It's hard to find good help. Sometimes helpers have a hard time just sweeping properly, no joke.  Not our Sam, I had him spray the whole garden with the preservative, add length to a boxwood rope, put accents on these wreaths, I was so proud of him!!  See how nice!!

We hung a HUGE garland (15' long x 8'' wide) over a large print in the clients front entry way.  The garland rope felt like a huge python, it weighed so much.   

I feel funny taking photographs inside the homes, privacy issues and such, so use your imagination.

Lastly, the client needed a way to hide the wooden box that held the paper-whites (winter indoor daffodils)... I suggested cinnamon sticks glued around the base. My grandmother used to wrap her candles with cinnamon sticks and a ribbon.  It looked very festive when I finished.  

So, now what do I do for the winter? 

I need a job. 

Not any job, one that will not steal my soul, time or energy.  I would like it to be flexible, creative and totally into the idea that I will leave in March to start up Brooklyn Planting for it's second season.

Universe, listen up!  I need a kick ass winter job!
