Here’s a quick
holiday decorating tip that will liven up your table, add a touch of festiveness
to the buffet, and is perfectly usable when the holidays are over and you’re struggling
to find a place to store everything.
Head to Lowe’s and get yourself a little rosemary plant that has been conically
shaped to resemble a Christmas tree.
Pick up a package of bows from Michael’s that are now drastically reduced
to such an extent that you’ll be paying under a dollar for a set of 12, grab some
red berries from off of your wreath, out of your yard (or the neighbor’s yard
under cover of darkness – unless, of course, you have a very vigilant
Neighborhood Watch), and add a small string of LED lights. You will have a lovely little living tree
that smells wonderful, and its portability will brighten any dark corner in
your house. After the holidays, keep it
in a very sunny spot and water it weekly.
With any luck you’ll have a wonderful herb plant to sink into your
garden come spring where you will be rewarded again and again with fresh
rosemary whenever you need it. How cute
is this?
I saw these and almost bought one. But then I thought I might kill it before Christmas. I'm hard on plants, Pattie. But this is a great idea. Loved them. I might just have to go back and get one.

I love it. I have a small one growing in a planter on my front porch but not big enough for this.
ReplyDeleteIf it were on my table I would be touching it every time I walk by to enjoy the scent.
