I have a thing about bittersweet....
I really do have a problem...This farm (abandoned..) down the road has all the bittersweet one could EVER want~I am always dazzled as I stand in the field wondering where I should start...but the problem sneaks in when I have really picked enough....I can never have enough~I think of all the people who would like a wreath and I get a little more...intervention please!!
ohmygosh...I love bittersweet and cannot get any around here, for some reason! Envying you!!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't intervention come next spring?
ReplyDeleteVery nice of you to make wreaths & share some bittersweet with others. Wish I lived near you. Just beautiful.

I'm not sure what bittersweet is but the pictures tell 1000 words and I love the look of wreaths made with vine. Those orange berries are beautiful. I love your blog Eileen, it's like leaving thro' a country living magazine.
ReplyDeleteBittersweet is very pretty but very invasive, and my husband has been working hard to get rid of it much to my dismay. I guess you can say that's my intervention;D It does make very pretty wreaths though!
ReplyDeleteJacque~you can find bittersweet near water~streams, brooks,etc. Lots along the highway here in New England!
ReplyDeleteSew Cal~I would have to make you a wreath if you lived near me! If I mailed you one you would have a box of berries!
Sue~I love hearing from you! Thanks for the kind word~BTW your quilt is four from my machine..I will post it when I put it on~It is a beauty and i cannot wait to quilt it!
Patty~you are SO correct, bittersweet is a take~over kind of plant, better in someone elses yard!
It is a beautiful thing!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for the kind words, and YES, get some BITTERSWEET for me TO! love it!
ReplyDeleteME too! I posted a tutorial on picking it last year because so many of my followers had never even seen it!! I finally added it to my sidebar after so many questions.
