I was working in the garden a few weeks ago, and Heather Brown pulled up in her car. Out she got with a beautiful fall decoration made by Cynthia Hoisak, which she gave to me, apparently a thank you for doing this blog! Well, I am happy to do the blog with nothing in return, but, I could not turn away this gorgeous piece which is still looking marvellous on my kitchen island.
Her beautiful gourd is from a farm north of Gatineau which carries 150 types of gourds!! courgescie.com And the succulents perched atop it can be removed and overwintered in a cool but sunny windowsill.
If you haven't seen the video of Cynthia producing this and several other pieces, go and take a look at it for ideas for your Thanksgiving celebrations (en famille, of course!). Heather sent that video out on September 17th if you want to look it up in your emails.
Thank you, ladies of the OGC! And thank you Cynthia for the inspiration and beauty you have given us!
Happy Thanksgiving !!!
