A happy surprise was delivered fresh today, a lovely handmade pepper wreath, grown and strung by our friend and neighbor, Deborah.
Using a needle and fishing line, she threaded the wreath in such a way (with loops at either end), so it can be hung as a garland too! Deborah explained that as fresh pepper's age, the green ones will turn red, then shrivel and dry. After, the entire pepper can be cut up into little pieces with kitchen scissors and you'll have fresh pepper flakes. I'm a big fan of pepper flakes, are you? Even if you don't eat peppers, this wreaths simple beauty is an inspiration, don't you think?
*If you don't grow peppers, you can still create your own wreath with any number of varieties, found at your local market. Well, that is to say you will find lots of peppers in our neck of the woods! ONE MORE THING!!!! Always be sure to wash your hands after you touch peppers, and don't touch your eyes while working.
Happy Week to all!
