Housewarming

For Wini and Halina to celebrate their new home, a bouquet from Joe and me that also celebrates some of what is beautiful outside now in Brooklyn in early winter. Different colored berries and evergreens along with dried grasses and seed heads, and in the case of this particular bouquet, one found feather, I think from a duck.


Below, before it made the journey from our home to theirs. Giving a bouquet that you made is fun in the same way that giving away some cucumbers you've grown in the garden is fun. Joe says it would have been even more fun if we'd grown everything ourselves and he's right about that.

But you picked it and arranged it.

That's pretty damn fun right there.

Happy New Year.

I've loved seeing the world though your eyes this year.

Your feather looks like it may have come from a raptor...

Happy New Year!

Jane, too sweet you are, but thanks much.
And Marie, don't you dare send me off on a wild goose feather identification chase. I was so trying to just call it a pretty found feather:) Happy New Year in another season (the happiest one) in South Africa.
