DIY: Natural Flower Wreaths & Crowns
By Whitney Cole
“Wow, Self. You sure do photograph and write a lot of blog posts about flowers. Maybe you should try something different.” — Said me, never.
“Wow, Self. You sure do photograph and write a lot of blog posts about flowers. Maybe you should try something different.” — Said me, never.
Because I can’t seem to shy away from including floral images, I thought I’d share how I make my crowns/wreaths without the help of tapes, wires, pins, or even scissors in some cases.
I often try to make crowns and wreaths out of whatever leftover flowers I may have or what sort of flowers I have growing in my environment. However, for the sake of making this post in the middle of the fall in Richmond, I settled for buying some at the grocery store. I check in the marked down bins first because I like to spend as little money as possible, but I also need to look at the quality of the flowers and the type I’m actually needing for the crowns.
The Art of Olive Oil
By Emily Schultz

and I studying abroad here in Florence, Italy had the opportunity to visit a
small town in the countryside of Tuscany and learn about the process of picking

process of making it as an art form. Italians rely heavily on the success of
the olive harvest each year. Last year, there was a shortage due to weather
conditions. This year, however, things seem to be looking up.
