Ever dry flowers ? ? ?

It's easy, really it is ! And, you'll be so glad you did ! Better be starting 'cause summer days are passing too fast ! Air drying is quick & easy and many flowers dry beautifully this way, keeping their color for those fall & winter projects. If you want to be adventuresome, do a bit of research on drying flowers in a microwave or in silical gel. Both methods work well & some flowers dry better this way. Example: zinnias keep their color and shape better when dried in silical gel. Some flowers even dry standing up in a bucket of water ! Example: yarrow dries easily and keeps color by just standing in a bit of water. Come to Saturday's market and check out the neat stuff from Greystone Flower Farm . . . & start drying flowers now so that you can create those gorgeous, handmade (did I say stunning ???) arrangements for your home ~ wreathes or swags for your front door, a crock or basket full of colorful, unusual flowers . . . and just to think (and say !) that you made it yourself !
