To me, these fruits and vegetables are as beautiful as all the things in the Christmas markets! These tangerines were the first to catch my eye. All of my growing up years, my brothers and I picked tangerines and sold them at the end of our driveway to earn our spending money for Christmas. Dad always advised us to leave a leaf or two on the stem to show how fresh they were. These took me right back to my childhood.
In every market, grocery store and nursery, you can buy pine bows. They smell so good and they are so festive. You don’t see much fake here and I love that.
Here are some Advent wreaths.
