The Holly and the Ivy

Mr Mess asked me yesterday to make some kind of decoration for the front of the garage. He bought these iron sconces last summer and had thrown some not so attractive faux flowers into them and hung them up. I knew I could do better.

I foraged through the forest surrounding our house with my pruning shears and gathered a selection of various evergreens. We are fortunate to have a large variety to choose from including; blue spruce, norway spruce, cedar, white pine and boxwood. We do not have any holly but I do have ivy, I just forgot to go to that side of the house and cut any. Maybe I'll add some tomorrow if we don't get the ice storm I keep hearing about. The addition of a couple velvet poinsettias, and the halls garage was officially decked.
