Seasonal greenery

The xmas trees appear early in December. Here on Stroud Green Road, N4, both the florist and the greengrocer are in the xmas tree business. It's a little forest -- but alas, doesn't smell anything like a forest.When the trees first arrived, there was a heap of discarded branches waiting for the binmen - I took some home and put them on the landing
Sue said that, as the branches were salvaged and recyled, the decorations should be salvaged and recycled too. These fabric knots are made from scraps too small to use in patchwork - less than 1/2" wide - but even they have their uses!
